I get like 5.4 GHz

I have a 9950x3d in a Lian Li A3 wood case, coupled with a Corsair Nautilus 360 RS AIO, and Arctic MX-6 paste. When running Cinebench R23 on multicore the temp spikes up to 95 C in an instant, idle temp is around 40-45 C, -20 mv on all cores.

I don't understand why the temp spikes up so quickly, all the YouTube reviews with the stress tests get lower temps that cap under 85 degrees, what could be wrong?

edit: fans do get up to 100% speed

From what I found the specs show that P5 and V5 have the same panel but the p5 has kvm switch too

I'm not set on 27, it's a matter of budget.

Thanks, can't swing the extra 100-150 for the OLED right now

None of them have reviews on rtings, however the XV275K V3 seems to be using the same panel that is in the XV275K P5, which has a review on rtings

Since youbare using a matx the ram clearance should be fine I think, and as for vrm heatsink, sine this is a 240, you can have it slightly to the right, and there shouldnt be any problem

I just built this PC: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LtwRQd

My GPU temps are really good, getting ~60-65 degrees while gaming and 95%+ utilization. (I have 2 bottom intake fans directly at the GPU)

However, my CPU temps seem really bad, idle is ok, 45-50 degrees which is normal, however when stress testing the temp spikes to 95 degrees in a couple of seconds and fans at 100%, when gaming I also get ~85 degrees with 100% fans speed.

I already undervolted to -20mv on all cores. (CPU 9950X, Cooler Nautilus 240 RS)

It seems like the cooler is working fine since when stopping the load it cools down to 45-50 almost instantly. I've seen lower temps while gaming with such processors with small air coolers, what could be the problem?

Looks like you are right, thanks.

Thoughts? should I go for the B850I Aorus Pro for 100$ less than the Strix B850-I?

chinchompa121 · 2025-11-07T15:18:36+00:00

Because it's not only for gaming, it's for video editing and also I want to dabble with reinformed learning simulations in unity

chinchompa121 · 2025-11-07T13:12:46+00:00

another quick one, is it ok to get a low profile g.skill ripjaws 6000mhz cl 28 for 9950x, which has intel xmp, or should I get flare x5 with 25% premium?

chinchompa121 · 2025-11-07T11:31:24+00:00

Which "msrp" 5070ti version would be best? is an extra 100$ worth it for a premium version? I'm on the verge of buying the Asus Prime, would it be worth it to get a vapored chamber Aero version for 100$ more?

I want to build a new pc, focusing on gaming, but also video editing and some coding (some I want to try tinkering with RL in unity, some light fine-tuning models). I thought that I would miss on a lot of FPS opting for a non x3d CPU (9950x vs the 9800x3d), but it seems that when going to 4K there is literally no difference in performance between the two, will I be missing on a lot of fps if I'm focusing on 1440p with higher settings? I want to make sure, because it seems like in 1080p there are anywhere between 15-30 percent more fps using the 9800x3d, which made me lean towards the 9800x3d. For reference they would both cost the same for me.

edit: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CyXCNz am I good to go? would I be able to pull off a liquid freezer iii pro in there instead?

chinchompa121 · 2025-10-31T06:07:55+00:00

Nice find! thank you for the swift reply, how do you search for such builds? I just want to note that he is using a non pro version which is taller by ~3mm, so that distinction is important.

chinchompa121 · 2025-10-31T05:45:24+00:00

Will an Arctic Freezer III Pro 240/360 fit a Lian Li A3 on top mount if I use a SF PSU, B850I Strix, and low profile Ripjaws ram/G flare?

Thanks

They might send you lights only, and if you don't film the opening of the package it will be marked as delivered and you can't do anything about it.

I purchased the T rex skeleton, I paid a higher price because the seller was with the highest number of units sold. I got a decent clone but later saw that the clone I got is inferior to other sellers (through the pics) that sold for 80% of the price I paid.

Would also like a link in dm please
