Try using hwinfo64 to monitor temps. It will give you current, max, and average temps. You may see small spikes in temps during gaming (again caused by transistor density). For example playing Wolcen my max temp seen might be 72c. However long periods of play average out to about 55-58c. But, 69c seems good for stock cooler.

Are you using the Ryzen balanced power plan? I have a 3900x cooled by an H110i and at idle I run from 29-40c with an occasional spike. Voltage reads from .360-1.15 volts at idle. What I would suggest is to go to AMDs website and download the chipset drivers direct from them. Once installed you should get access to the Ryzen power plan.

Are you using Ryzen balanced power plan? If not update your chipset drivers directly from AMD. Once you do that the power plan should be available.

Looks good! You probably won't get lower temps on the stock cooler. Your idle voltage looks way better. Takes my chip an H110i to idle in the high 20s-low 30s, and it will spike sometimes (can't do much about that due to transistor density). What's normal load temps like say while gaming or something?

No worries! Hope it helps.

Setting DCOP to 3200mhz is fine. Not even an OC actually as the chip is rated for that. I'm gunna guess you do not have the most recent chipset drivers installed. Go to AMDs website and download the latest chipset drivers from them directly. Also make sure windows is up to date. As long as windows is up to date the driver software will install the Ryzen balanced power plan.

Idle voltage seems high. Are you runnung Ryzen balanced power plan?

Out of curiosity what speed is your RAM running at?

used cpu-z for voltage read

Also on Crosshair VIII Hero. I just enabled D.C.O.P. and left everything else in UEFI alone. After installing and updating window I got the latest x570 drivers right from AMDs website. Enabled Ryzen balanced power plan in control center.

Go to AMDs website and download the latest x570 drivers, also make sure windows is up to date as well (in settings/system/about/version should be 1909). As long as windows is up to date the chipset drivers will install the proper power plan.

Seems good especially with the static voltage. My 3900x voltage is set to auto. Idle temps are around 29-40c. Voltage can bounce between 0.336-1.16v. Using an H110i.

I actually have the hyper 212 black edition on a 5930k when it got moved to be used as a secondary system. Quite pleased with how well it works.

That seems high. What's you vcore look like at idle? Are you using Ryzen balanced power plan? I have a 3900x that idles at 29-40c with voltages between 0.336-1.16 at idle. Using CPU-z for voltage info. That's using an H110i.

That board could run an FX 9590! One of like two that could. Although if I was going to do anything with it I would find a Phenom II 1090T. That was AMD's best CPU before Ryzen.

Gotcha. But, in gtsvii case I think 57c might be kinda high for idle. I spent all day yesterday studying HW monitor while playing Wolcen my average temp was like 55c with a max of 72c. Seems good I think.

Yeah I did alot of reading on how these chips work.The spikes are basically a result of an extremely fast response time (1ms I think). So it's fine.

I have a 3900x on a Crosshair VIII Hero with an H110i. I idle at around 29-39c with spikes here and there if windows is doing something. So, 57c would seem fairly high to me. Did that AIO come with thermal paste applied? If so I would remount it using new thermal paste. Also are you using the lastest chipset drivers, and updated version of windows. If yes than what power plan are you running? Should be Ryzen optimized. One last thing what are your voltages at idle using cpu-z or HWMonitor?

This is the closest thing you will ever get to that.

In the options for DDU you can tell it to stop windows from downloading DCH drivers thru windows update. Now I'm not sure if this works for everyone considering windows 10 can be annoying like that. But, it works for me. Ignore the red box. Under advanced options.

Also to be honest have you tried the onboard sound? It's actually really good for what it is.

The top 2 full size PCIe slots that have the metal guards are physically wired 16x / 8x. These 2 slots are wired directly to the CPU that has a max of 16 lanes. Meaning the top slot will run at 16x if the second slot is left empty, or if populated both will run at 8x. Also these slots can share space with the DIMM.2 card. Meaning if you populate an NVME drive on a certain side of the DIMM.2 card it will take 4x from the CPU. Meaning the top 2 full PCIe slots will run at 8x / 4x. The other two PCIe slots, as well as the other side of the DIMM.2 will get their PCIe lanes from the chipset. The chipset has a total of 24 lanes I think.

I would avoid the Maximus XI Hero, Code, and Formula. As the VRMs are not the greatest. Are you are going to mount the AIO rad on the bottom? I would also highly advise against that. Might introduce air into the pump. Making it noisy, or perform poorly.As for cooling the 9900k the H150i will do just fine.

What GPU do you have. Most likely it's doing more work than the CPU. Most games don't hammer the CPU all that hard.
