So I checked out of this thread, but I figured I'd come back to mention that about a month ago I traded out the 100i for a 150i, and it made a noticeable difference. I had games that would run in the high 70s to mid 80s, but after switching to the 150i the same titles stayed in the 70s. That...

I buy Asus boards, and up until now I've only updated the BIOS using the EZ Upgrade method through their Windows software. Last November I picked up a Crosshair VIII Hero (wifi) to go with my 5900x, and was introduced to the EZ Flash method out of necessity. It's worked so far, but I've also...

Did some more temp analysis. R6 ranged from 65C to 75C over 3 hours. Just for fun I tracked it during Halo 2, and it came back in the 50s over an extended play time. Path of Exile Stayed between 55C and 60C most of the time.

Could be, but my original budget for this rig was $1,000 less than what it became. I sold off my 1080ti for a net return of $400, so that helped cover some of that extra cost, but I can't justify additional expenses unless there is a clear reason to do so for stability or preventing damage to...

repoman0 - Thanks for the suggestion. HWInfo has been a tremendous help. I've been analyzing output from 2-3 hour gaming sessions to see things. Island - I think we've come to the same conclusion. I got rid of the undervolt and started testing with HWInfo. I found that in Borderlands 3 I had a...

To get something more concrete than just perception in game, I ran some test with Timespy Extreme. With the -0.125 undervolt, my scores for CPU, GPU, and overall were 7383, 8983, and 8700 respectively. Without it, they were 7725, 8976, and 8763. So the undervolt certainly had an impact on CPU...

I haven't seen a reduction in clock speed as a result of the undervolt. I was getting boosts to 4.9 Ghz across the same number of cores before and after.

I ended up landing on an undervolt with an offset of -0.125. No stability issues and the temps stay in the 65-75 range; with spikes staying below 80 so far. Why does AMD set their voltages so high by default?

Perhaps, but I don't think I'm going to get much lower temps without spending an obscene amount of money. If lowering the voltages by 0.1V gets me down into the 70s under load, plant the flag of victory.

I misspoke on this. My room temp is 22C-25C. Sorry for the confusion there.

Per the suggestion of owcraftsman I set the vcore offset to -0.1. I then played the Black OPs level that I know produced the higher temps which started this thread. This resulted in a max voltage of 1.394V on half the cores, and 1.387V on the others. The CPU temp maxed out at 81C, and even with...

These are goodsuggestions. It sounds like the temps are fine based on other posts (from an operational standpoint). The ML RGB fans unfortunately only go to 1600 rpm, so not a big improvement. The reorienting of the radiator to the front could likely be done without too much effort, and I may...

After posting all that info, I did some further checking, and I'm becoming more and more convinced that everything I know is wrong. The high end Ryzens just want to run at 90C and will boost until they hit it. Lowering the temperature is just going to allow it to boost more, but it's still going...

OK, I'm that guy. It doesn't "beg the question," it raises the question. To your point though, you've correctly noted that I've traded out the fans it came with for a pair of SP120 RGBs. The case is a Cougar Panzer S, with which I'm very pleased. No dust filter on top. Took it out. The fan...

Describe what you mean.

If the CPU is at 70 or 80, and the cooling liquid is at 40, instead of say, 30, which is room temp, that's not going to make a night-and-day difference in the heat transferred. q = hc A dT q = heat transferred per unit time (W, Btu/hr) A = heat transfer area of the surface (m2, ft2) hc =...

I have a pretty aggressive curve already, so good thought there. The fans I use top out at 1400 rpm, but honestly that should be plenty considering the temperature differential is held steady at 40C-45C after over an hour of playtime. Also the coolant seems to hit 40C whether the CPU is in the...

I've got a 5900x paired with a 3080. It's being cooled by a Corsair H100i XT iCue RGB Pro. It idles at ~35-40C, with the coolant staying at ~30C. That all seems Fine. When I play Destiny 2 or Star Wars Fallen Order, it gets up into the mid-70s. All that seems normal as well, but then I loaded up...

Apologies. This was posted in the wrong forum. I'll repost in cooling.

OK, got off the phone with EVGA. The tech acknowledged the issue and they are sending me a different PSU. Yes, this happens with some regularity to a small set of users, but not 100% of the time. So no recall. The tech seemed pretty confident that 750W should do me. I needed to put up the MSRP...

Would using Afterburner to dial back the TPD on the 3080 mitigate this in the short term?

I may have found the problem: https://forums.evga.com/SuperNOVA-850-GA-850-3080-FTW-U-m3117599.aspx https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/keezm2/there_are_known_issues_of_evga_supernova_ga/...

Is there a way to test if I'm not getting enough power?

750W should be more than enough for that setup. I also have a Corsair Commander+RGB Hub and 6 120mm fans. 32GB DDR-3600 RAM. I'll add this to the original post as well.

I've added a report from OpenHardwareMonitor for just idle temps. Temperature sensor #4 and #5 jumped out at me. I can't imagine those are the CPU temps. I can't find any data on what the 5 sensors correspond to. UPDATE: I also added the output from HWMonitor, which looks more like the Asus...

I just built out a new rig over the weekend. AMD 5900x Asus Crosshair VIII Hero (wifi) EVGA 3080 FTW3 H100i RGB Pro XT EVGA 750W GA Supernova 4x8 GB DDR4-3600 Corsair Commander + RGB Hub 6x 120mm fans (including the ones on the AIO radiator) Twice now I've experienced during gaming the PC...

I'd only be speculating. But what I can say is I placed my order around 1PM EST on 11/21. Orginally they had 11/30 as the restock date, and I emailed them about this on 11/25. Here's what they said. "As it stands the line item received is heavily backordered. The previous ETA provided is...

Newegg hasn't had any for some time. I talked with Provantage and they told me their next shipment was no earlier than 12/31, and the CS rep cautioned that could be a placeholder. At that point I cancelled my order and decided to stick with the CH VIII Hero wifi I picked up last Friday night on...

If for some reason I can't score a Dark Hero, and I don't plan to manually overclock, what are the practical differences between this and the regular Hero (wifi), besides the passive cooling, which was my attraction. I only upgrade my CPU/mobo every 7 years, so its got to last awhile. On the...
