Modern processors are designed to run as fast as they can for whatever given load thrown at them. AMD will floor it until 95°C, but those are generally not real world loads. Compiling or photo/video editing and multi-threaded apps will get up there but won't stay at the wall. Regardless with...

They are all good deals when compared to Noctua, as long as they can handle the heat load. I like Thermalright as a company but dang they have a lot of very similar designs in the same relative space...

Playing Doom Eternal Ancient Gods 1 Holt Slayer Gate (getting my ass kicked [H]ard), the area prior to the red box is me playing on a 7950x RTX4070OC, I found it interesting when I shut the game down the fans kicking up to find steam update running very high.

I doubled my core count 5800x to 7950x, for no good reason other than to build something. My daughter got my old build...

Torrent is pretty capable. I have a 150mm Watercool pump/res combo that will locate the bottom end of the pump above the video card, with front 45mm thicc rad the Torrent will fit 14in+. I also have an FT02 in for sale/trade.

No, RGB control is the only reason anyone would need its' contents and that isn't worth the trouble. I shut off Armory Crate in the BIOS...

nvidia has a firmware fix for black screen during boot with displayport. https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5411/~/nvidia-gpu-uefi-firmware-update-tool

Of the two combos I have, I like the Heatkiller better but it isn't installed yet. The Alphacool is a tick tall for my rig, I went with the Heatkiller 150mm to make clearance for a longer video card down the road...

Too bad they don't have a sub out...

FS: A lovingly used Silverstone FT02. Purchased new from NewEgg in 2010 and in use as my main until 2022. The front USB was updated to USB2.0 (maybe USB 3.0) when that came out, otherwise stock and includes all the drive sleds. $75 plus actual shipping CONUS. I have the original box as well...

My main is a stereo configured 2003 set of Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 5.1 I've kept alive by sending them off for repair (more than once). My spare set is the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 BT that I use daily as a workout system BT with my phone. Not audiophile but they sound pretty decent especially the 2.1...

I believe those are all auto settings, I think buildzoid left those on auto in the tuning video. I find it odd read speeds are lower than write.

My case doesn't have one either, I connected a white LED which hangs out down by the panel header. I'd be looking into the BIOS for a setting, the 990 Pro NVME I have as primary drives my LED on an ASUS x670E-E. *EDIT I see you have a MB that predates NVME so you might be SOL unless it's in a...

Buildzoid in that video said the sweet spot is DDR at 6000, fclk set to 2033. Attached are mine. For Hynix...

TY. I should re-watch his explanation videos on secondaries but right meow my eyes glaze over with all the OT...

Would you mind posting a screen of your ZenTimings please. My DIMM is back up to 1.35V CLDO VDDP is set at 1.0.

Yeah I'm not really hard core OC, but I'd like to tune for performance. This is my daily rig...

I had a bugcheck coming out of sleep...

System has been up and stable for a while, I dug around a bit and ran across some videos regarding Buildzoid's secondary timings and set those. My question is is CLDO VDDP a static or dynamic setting? ASUS had it set to 1.141, I've lowered it to 1.0, I've seen others reference .9V as the...

7950x, ASUS X670E-E and a ASUS 4070 OC run comfortably on a Seasonic 850. Full tilt Prime95 I'm seeing 425 Watt draw at the UPS, gaming load maybe another 130 peak for around 550ish in Doom at 2k 2560x1440. Furmark @2k adds 210 Watts over desktop so that's probably peak for this gpu. Running...

You don't need to OC the processors any more, they do it themselves, I just PBO undervolted slightly to run cooler. The memory controller running at 6000 is the sweet spot for Ryzen 9, I may have lucked out with single rank at 2x16GB with my kits, but the system is running pretty awesome...

https://youtu.be/JZGiBOZkI5w?si=RUpAlcyO35k0tBAt Ignore the fact that he is switching to an Intel CPU, he addresses the issues he experienced with his 7950X3D, in other words the shortcoming of the chip design he encountered, and basically expressed the thought he would have been better off with...

Skip the X3D processors, they do not carry their weight when you include the lower thermal limits which reduce clocks ultimitely. Jayzee came to the same conclusion. I went 7950X due to the likelihood the extra clock headroom and additional cores will increase its' relevant life in my system...

Heatkiller IV, Alphacool dual 180x360, 7950x throttling, load dependent. You can only pull so much heat through the IHS...

Also buy EXPO DDR5, I'm using gskill cas30 with good results (2 stick 32GB total) https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb/p/N82E16820374457?Item=N82E16820374457

I bought an ASUS 4070 OC for $599, moving up from a 1070 OC. Switched monitors too from 1920x1200 to 2160x1440 (2K). Initially DP wouldn't boot...

Try 56...

More run data Doom and Prime95 blend. Water temp at idle 25°C, under load 27°C.

Fractal Torrent is a chassis...

Alphacool Dual 180 (180x360). Any other data you'd like?

Not much into flash. Attached a perf graphs playing the last mission Doom.

This is a functional down and dirty build using a Fractal Torrent, 7950X, ASUS X670E-E, AM5 Heatkiller, 180x360 Alphacool Rad and their Aurora D5 250mm pump/combo. Preliminary perf attached...

Something else interesting, if you add/roughly average all those cores 16x16 it's 256 Watts, I show 96 Watts idle at the UPS, 356 Watts under that load at the UPS, power rails accounts for some of that yes but that NH-U12A is dissipating 256 Watts. Gaming noise is really low, I've not tracked...

It's relatively holding its' own. It would likely thermal on water too, I have a heatkiller dual 180 coming so we'll see. That cooler for it's size is doing a decent job but I'll say the case fans all spool up for sure.

Migrating from a 5800x to a 7950x, GSkill 6000 C30 on a ASUS Strix X670E-E, no real data as it isn't my primary yet...

7950X PBO CO -20 in a Torrent

Necro, but my next kit will be a dual 180 in a Torrent with a Heatkiller IV AM5 7950X... My only dilemma, the NH-U12A that's on it now is doing really well...

My son is running the system on a replacement repaired board I sourced out of Taiwan, and I RMA'd and paid for a replacement from ASUS. The system ran fine up until it died, never overclocked other than what the board does by default, Seasonic x850 for power behind a good APC. Some power supply...

Necro, ASUS X99-A II died after 5 years, first ASUS board I've ever had fail.
