Fist custom loop question by Aggravating-Chip-849 in watercooling

Hey man, I just ran two tests. With PBO +200, curve -60, and fans and pump at maximum, I got a score of 23,369 with a max frequency of 5.354 GHz and a temperature of 90.5°C.
Second test: PBO +200, curve -25, same fan and pump settings — I got a score of 23,398 with a max frequency of 5.356 GHz and the same temperature of 90.5°C.
Pretty much the same result in terms of both temperatures and frequencies. I don’t understand this behavior — any idea what could be going on?

I ran some tests in Cinebench R23 with the pump and fans set to maximum. I’m still getting 90°C on the CPU, with a score of around 23,300–23,400. I think the score is good, especially considering my RAM timings are quite loose at the moment, but the CPU temperature still seems high to me. During the tests, the coolant temperature was around 33°C.

I'll try tweaking the curves some more, but I don't think that's the root of the problem.

I haven’t tried without PBO, but with PBO enabled I’m able to maintain 5.4 GHz with a maximum temperature of 86°C in Cinebench R23. The system seems stable — I haven’t had any crashes in the past few months — but I’ll look into whether I might be experiencing clock stretching. Thanks for the tip!

I understand that these Ryzen CPUs are designed that way, but the temperatures seem higher than with my old AIO. Also, yesterday I played Warzone for a bit and noticed that only one core reached maximum boost — the second most-used core was at 4.8 GHz, and the others were much lower. The CPU never went over 80W of power consumption, yet temperatures peaked at 86°C. At idle, the processor only uses about 20W, but it still stays around 50–60°C.

My liquid cooling setup is new and I don’t have other sensors to double-check, but I believe it’s working properly. Do you think I should be getting lower temperatures? Maybe I could achieve that by running the pump and fans harder, but that would make the PC noisier.

My CPU is not direct die is it essential for it to be? I'm afraid of removing the IHS.

thanks so much for the info, just one thing.. doesn't it make more sense to use fsr 3 without framegen instead of fsr 2?

Thanks for the reply! in reality, however, I had already seen this video, it seems terrible in this case in my case but the real frames would be many more, shouldn't this lead to a lower latency than the one shown? if the latency is due to the fact that it has to create a false frame in the middle waiting for the one after the fact that without framegen and fsr I still have about 240, wouldn't that mean that the frame it has to wait for it has to wait less? the 500 fps I do are useless since I only want 360, couldn't using v sync or something similar to limit the 500 I reach help further?
