What is your t die temp with 2700x and C7 Cu? I have a C7 Cu with A9x14, and also a A9 at the drive bay and two akasa 80x10mm fan on the top and the bottom of the mobo. Currently my 2700x is on the desk without a case and it goes to 80+ (tdie) sometime during some heavy load games. Hope they can handle the 2700x well with a low temp.dondan Thank you for such a prompt response! I will try your suggestion with the cooler.
I will update with some additional comments later on when I "feel" the Asetek is operating correctly, or has been replaced if necessary, and have time to mess with voltages/clocks for fun (I plan on running stock clocks and let AMD's PB/XFR 2.0 do it's thing in actual use). Which is why I didn't mention any "at 1.4V and 4.2ghz all core overclock it hit xx C in Prime" earlier.
For anyone following along, I haven't run into any issues using the Cryorig C7 Cu or Asetek cooler with a r7 2700x in day to day use or gaming, stock clocks. I just like my PC's as quite as possible and the Asetek cooler was a way to get there.
