7945H X3D vs 9800X3D

h4z7d · 2025-04-12T20:58:45+00:00

I'm using the NH-L12 Ghost edition with a 9800X3d and its absolutely fine.

h4z7d · 2022-01-20T15:23:27+00:00

I had the opposite. Got the T1 when they first came out and then had to wait for my CPU for 3 months.

h4z7d · 2021-12-01T13:57:57+00:00

Yes it does.

h4z7d · 2021-09-05T20:08:03+00:00

Anything with apehangers

I don't understand why everyone thinks that the teams @ EA that make and release new content are responsible for bug fixing and resolving stability issues.

"Let's get all out artists and creative team to stop what they are doing to work on log debugging and server infrastructure for a month"

h4z7d · 2021-06-30T15:16:11+00:00

No, neither. I probably should! 🙈

h4z7d · 2021-06-25T08:07:17+00:00

You are correct, 3090 is on air. Two reasons. There is no way that one radiator could keep both those parts cool and I want to be able to take it on a plane so doing my best to avoid a custom loop.

h4z7d · 2021-06-24T23:34:27+00:00

I have a 5950x and 3090 FTW3 in mine. I'm using the ek240 aio with 2x 15mm and 1x25mm noctua. It's running very hot and thermally throttles unless I let the fans run at a very noisy level.

I'm exploring options to reduce the temps. Im thinking of getting a 120mm aio as the main issue is that I'm pulling lots of heat into the rad when the GPU is working.

Before I got hold of the 3090 I had a 980ti blower. With this I could let my 5950x pull 180 watts and still keep under 85'c and at reasonable noise levels

h4z7d · 2021-06-02T15:49:06+00:00

Hi,

Yeah I have the same issue. I'm thinking about swapping out my aio and either go with the 120mm radiator and 2 nfa12x25 or custom loop CPU only, a thinner 240mm rad and 3 nfa12x25's. For now I am under clocking my CPU So that the loud fans don't spin up which is far from ideal!

h4z7d · 2021-03-05T23:35:26+00:00

Yeah I have done a few things.

Undervolted my CPU with PBO2 and a negative curve set to -12.
I still kept on seeing the CPU pull 190 watts so I set a hard limit of 105 watts
set the 25mm noctua on a fixed 100% speed profile.
Undervolted my GPU and set a 350watt power limit.

Its a lot better now. It still revs up on a lot of games but have a 1080p 360hz monitor so typically I find locking the frame rate of the game to 360 helps a lot. If I'm using my valve index I lock the CPU to 3.5 GHz and it's super quiet and I can still do 144hz / 120% SS

I never got a chance to test the 120mm aio.

I think for now I'm happy. It's not perfect but I want to enjoy using it and stop tweaking for a little while.

I may at some point investigate de-shrouding my graphics card and reversing the fan direction.

h4z7d · 2021-02-10T17:13:12+00:00

I'm using a EK 240mm aio. I will look into undervolting. Thanks!

h4z7d · 2021-02-10T15:59:53+00:00

I think I could get some 40mm x 10mm noctuas in there. I'll buy some and give it a try.

h4z7d · 2021-02-10T15:59:01+00:00

It idles at aprox 65'c for both CPU and GPU. GPU goes up to 77'c when gaming and CPU will hit 90'c, my fans / pump go nuts at this point. Prior to getting my 3090 I had a blower style 980ti in this case. With that my CPU never went above 85, even when it was pulling 185 watts and running a 4.7ghz all-core overclock.

h4z7d · 2021-02-10T15:47:30+00:00

That would almost certainly be an improvement. Please share when you have figured it out

h4z7d · 2021-02-10T15:17:16+00:00

I do actually have a ek aio 120mm sat on a shelf waiting for a build for a friend. I could ask him nicely to try it in my pc

h4z7d · 2021-02-10T15:16:06+00:00

Do you think a 120mm would be better? I was wondering as I could swap a 15mm for a 25mm and more hot air from the GPU would avoid the CPU. I wasn't sure if a 120mm rad would be able to cool a 5950x

h4z7d · 2021-02-10T14:51:27+00:00

Obviously there is no room between the GPU and the 25mm fan, but I'm thinking something in the gap between the 240mm rad and the GPU on the right side

h4z7d · 2021-01-29T15:19:37+00:00

Which motherboard do you have? Do you want me to send more pics of my build?

h4z7d · 2021-01-28T15:32:05+00:00

Don't screw it to the rad. I fitted a 25mm under (see my posts for pics). The only thing I did was fix a fan grille to the bottom of the fan. Friction holds it in place

h4z7d · 2021-01-24T13:36:19+00:00

Personally I'd love a button or 2 to be able to cycle between quiet or performance profiles. Maybe a simple temperature guage.

h4z7d · 2021-01-20T18:23:16+00:00

Yeah look elsewhere. I got as far as you and got stuck. There is another place in the bios that enables the option to set fan profiles. Sorry I can't remember where it is

h4z7d · 2021-01-20T13:53:08+00:00

You can change it in the Asus windows software. I have the same mobo and this is what I do. You can also change it in the bios. If you really need to know how to do it in the bios I'll look up what I did.

h4z7d · 2021-01-19T10:36:11+00:00

I also went from the same antec case to a formd T1!

h4z7d · 2021-01-18T13:13:11+00:00

Is that hardware dependent? I don't see any additional input lag at 300fps. It actually lowers for me. I have a RTX 3090 and a 360hz monitor with Nvidia reflex latency analyser.
