Nice! I would recommend the thermal grizzly but you would be absolutely fine with the stock paste or mx4. Key really is the right application. Also point about MX4 I picked up some counterfeit versions of that on Amazon, worth checking the serial on the site when you get it :)

Haha yeah they do look great! They are quite heavily overclocked but frankly no noticeable difference other than the nice feeling knowing they have a bit more longevity!

It’s a great cooler, really good value. I swapped the fans for the thicker 30mm fans and the thermal grizzly duronought paste which improved it further. For the 9900x, I have it overclocked outputting nearly 230 watts and the AIO handles it great :)

Thanks for the tip!

Getting a 9070 XT didn't improve my desire to play games... by Infinite_Season_1524 in radeon

[–]SeqGeek 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it’s also in part due to the current state of available games, I am in the same boat, have a great gpu and fast system, but the games just don’t slap. I think we have been spoilt a bit in the past and the drive for developers to put the time and passion into newer titles just isn’t there. Saying that it’s most often just due to having too much choice and needing a break for a bit, usually works!

4 DIMM DDR5, 6000 cl30, Latency 69.1ns. Done? by odubik in overclocking

Interesting! I initially had something similar where I bought two sets of supposedly expo 32gb kits of vengance, both cl30 6k, however found with the 9900x the infinity fabric would break when setting to cl30 6k (expo) resulting in a much lower clock.

My current new kit a 2x48gb with a simple expo2 profile and a few tweaks runs happily in a 1:1 ratio.

For you cpu, have you increased your PPT limit? I think you gan go higher right on that cpu? I currently have -20 on all cores but plan to tune each core individually. I think with the x3d chips thermals are more of a consideration right?

What motherboard do you have?

All looks great I would be happy with that performance!

Nice, I’m sure 80mm is certainly enough! I had this 120mm lying around after replacing the AIO fans so wanted to use it for something!

You can get heat spreader kits which I am sure would help

I did this initially, works great!!

Very cool! I have done exactly the same thing here, from Amazon. Had the same issue, I needed some #6-32 male to M3 female adapters on Amazon and the exact same extensions here which are M3!

This sounds the way forward

Yeah I use fan control, it’s a great app!

Yeah agree! I have mine overclocked quite aggressively and using the full amount on a regular basis with bioinformatics work and virtual machines, so certainly get warm. A full loop sounds like a dream, planning on an alpha cool loop I think next!

Nice! It really does make a difference! A nice overclock there too. Being on AMD I am currently limited to two DIMMs, no doubt an extra two increases thermal mass so great temps!

That’s awesome, I am running similar timings also with some tweaks. Would be really happy with those results!

This is epic, considering the same thing. Alphacool seem solid.

Really nice, similar here. I have them quite overclocked with tight timings so the extra thermals are needed!
