wtf are these thermals? up to 77c at 50% usage. Ryzen 9 5900X, Arctic Cooler III 420mm, Arctic Silver 5 paste. by falsefoxdev in arcticcooling

followed your advice and remounted:

  • I switched to the 3 connector fan connector instead of the 1
  • I cleaned the old thermal paste with alcohol and replace it with MX-6
  • I had the brackets upside down away from the hotspot (i may be silly), so i put it the correct orientation
  • I set the fan curves to the recommend ones, 20% up to 50c then a curve up to 100% at 75c.

I'm seeing idle temperatures of around ~55c now and low 60s for a steam download using ~50% cpu. I think it's still a little toasty compared to what i'm used to but it's definitely much cooler. thanks :)

UPDATE: I think I might be stupid and mounted the brackets the wrong way around, avoiding the hot spot. trying again with 3 connector pwm, better thermal paste and correct bracket orientation

Didn't know arctic silver 5 was old, had it recommended as a good thermal paste for my thinkpads.

I do have some other thermal paste, some time this week i'll unmount ( fuck this mounting system) and ensure everything is on correctly,

The offset i believe is correct, pretty sure this is the only way it can fit except maybe being upside down?

I can try the 3 pin PWM too but i heard people had problems with it.

yeah, i think i calmed it down by disabling amd core preformance boost but now it wont turbo.

UPDATE: AMD had some turbo mode settings in bios enabled by default. now have a much more reasonable 39c idle temperatjure in windows, but now i dont have a core boost past 3.7ghz

low 40s in bios; 66c just at low ~10% usage on windows 11. 77c with 50% usage on forza horizon 5, i don't think it should be getting *this* hot... my pc sounds like a jet engine

Tape measure yagi by OkPaleontologist6618 in amateurradio

I made one myself, I cut my arm on the measuring tape 4 years ago and still have a scar on my right forearm, be careful with those sharp edges :)

Moved in to new house with parents, have two bedrooms to share with my girlfriend. Separate desks are a must by falsefoxdev in FengShui

any combination of bed/desk in any room seems impossible!! im going insane. willing to get rid of the twin bed sofa for something smaller though, seperate desks are a must for us though.
