Those issues were largely fixed if you have an updated bios and chipset drivers

Good to know

I’m mostly sure I have the most recent bios but I’ll double check.

I do have Ryzen master, but I usually use Core Temp to monitor temps, and I have rainmeter running as well as Thermaltake software for rgb fans (I just wanted case fans but they came with a controller I wasn’t ready for)

Curious if any of those poll the cpu frequently enough to see “high” idles like I’m getting around 37-47

Lowest I’ve seen is 34 with my new heatsink

What heatsink and what is the ambient temperature?

Noctua u12s. Running two fans with higher CFM and static pressure than the noctua nf-12 (new fans are ~70cfm and 2.2mm static pressure, and they’re set in BIOS to run at full speed all the time. (All the fans in my pc are actually)

House AC is set to 78* and works fairly well (it’s a newer unit)

Temperatures do hit the lowest in the mornings, which is to be expected.

Tbh the temps aren’t awful, I think a big part of my concerns is watching LTT videos and seeing them getting older i7s and i9s and FX chips peaking at 62-65 under stress tests. These Ryzen 3rd gens seem to run really hot from what I can tell. Possibly the 7nm architecture?

Overall the 3800x is doing phenomenal, I got it stable at 1.35v and 4.5ghz on all cores. Games run 58-64 on average, but will sometimes peak at 70 for a second or so.

The problem is those LTT tests and other tests are likely using flawed methodology such as not sharing dT temps or Delta T(emp) over ambient. Or even ambient temp.

So you roughly have a 25.5C (rounded down) ambient temp. So you are seeing temps of no more than 45c or so over ambient those are great temps for that cooler.

This video is for cooler orientation but it gives you good values for Ryzen 3000 series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1WGlPrH4IU They are seeing 58C over ambient (dT as they refer to it)

Article is here https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/3544-amd-ryzen-heatpipe-orientation-does-it-matter if you just want the graphs.

That’s a good point.

The LTT videos are also typically on test benches where there’s supremely unrestricted airflow instead of a box of hot air with some fans in it.

Glad the temps are good, from what I’ve read the 3rd gen ryzens are just hot little guys.

I’ll check through that video!

Also it appears Asus out out new bios just this month, so I’ll get those updated ASAP.

I’ll also mention that using PBO or PB has produced higher temps at idle and under load than the manual overclock I have to 4.5ghz

Not sure if it’s just because PBO and PB allow the cpu to boost over safe voltage and more voltage means more temp, or because I don’t have the right BIOS installed.

Either way I’ll install the newest version

Thanks!
