So the general consensus seems to be that the CPU just runs way hotter than I anticipated. I guess the next thing to inquire about is how to make the situation better. I'd rather not go with a custom loop as I'd have to buy a new monoblock and new reservoirs; the koolance pumps, primochill tubing, and EK fittings and the 480mm radiator I have are from like 2012 from my old Phenom II X6 build so I might even need a new pump and new o-rings for the fittings. I've done the custom loop game, it's a money pit that I don't want to go into again. I can't fit anything larger than a 280mm AIO in this case. Getting a new case and/or a bigger AIO is a little out of the question right now. I kinda spent all of my computer budget on the new CPU and AIO cooler as it was supposed to be the last upgrade for the next 3-4 years and everything else on this computer is pretty much maxed out (Gigabyte Aorus X570, RX 6900XT, 32GB DDR4-3600, 2x1TB samsung 980s, EVGA 1300W G2). Would there be any benefit to lapping down the cold plate on the AIO? Lap down the IHS on the CPU? Maybe look at getting some liquid metal tim instead of a regular thermal paste?

Previously I had a Ryzen 5 3600 with that Hyper 212 Evo. It would idle around 36C and never went above 72C. I get that the 3600 is a 65W TDP and the 5800X3D is a 105W TDP so it'll put out more heat. This is the first AIO that I've ever used and it seems like a 280mm isn't enough or something's not right.

Just got the new 5800X3D installed tonight and upgraded from a Hyper 212 Evo to a NZXT Kraken X63. The temps seem way off from what I would expect them to be. ambient 23C idle 48C load 87C-90C If I put the CPU under a load (Aida64 stress test) it'll go up to 90C instantly and stay there, then after about 30 seconds it's come down 87C and fluctuate between 87C-90C, even after equalization of the loop. NZXT CAM shows the coolant temp goes up to 43C and that's it. The clocks boost up to 4.14GHz on all cores and don't really budge; it never thermal throttles down. I feel like maybe I have bad mount, or maybe the thermal paste may have been old? I didn't use the stock thermal paste on the X63, I used some Noctua NT-H1 paste from about 9 months ago on the CPU and spread it to full coverage of the CPU's IHS before installing the X63. It's kind of a pain to disassemble so I'd rather avoid remounting the block/pump unless that ends up being the general consensus. I also noticed that the cold plate on the X63 isn't exactly flat when I wiped off the factory thermal paste, it had a texture of like machining marks radiating in circles from the center. Maybe I just got a poor QC cold plate from the factory and I need to lap it down flat? If I'm going to have to remount it, I'll have to order some new thermal paste. What's the preferred brand type out there?

Having a hard time getting a straight answer with the ol' Google searches. I recently upgraded my storage server to 8x6TB HDDs and now I have a whack-ton of 2TB HDDs laying around. My external 3TB is getting full and my internal drive on my X1X was full long ago. Does anyone know of an USB 3.0 enclosure that'll support 4-8 drives and present a single logical volume to an X1X as a storage target? Ideally, I would love to be able to span the HDDs into a single storage volume so the Xbox thinks that a single large drive is attached. I’m not really concerned with faster disk access or greater throughput. I'm after storage capacity. And seeing as I have a bunch Enterprise 2TB drives already, a single enclosure would have less of a financial impact than new large format drives with the bonus of being expandable and possibly fault-tolerant.

If you can easily squeeze a cable up through between the air vent ducting and the floor, and you have a space heater for the crawlspace (it's 20F where I live), then I'd say yeah it's worth it. The way I see it, you'll spend probably an hour or two running the cable but the time saved in faster file transfers over the network will more than make up for it in no time.

I have an EnGenius EAP350 Access Point that supports 802.3af PoE. After digging through the specs sheets online, I believe that the AP requires 48V@.375A when using POE. Currently I have the AP running directly on a power adapter, however I'd like to move it to a ceiling mount in the middle of the house. So far I haven't been able to find any mention of supported PoE injector models for this AP on the EnGenius website. When I called their technical support, I asked the person about whether or not this AP supports mesh and which types of POE injectors were supported. The support person just stammered on about how their new products had so many more better features and told me the only way to use PoE for the AP was to use a PoE compatible switch. I hung up the phone. So here I am asking you all if anyone knows the difference between PoE injectors that are 802.3af compliant, but some say Gigabit and others say only 10/100. According to the Wikipedia page on PoE, the power pinouts for 10/100 and 10/100/1000 appear to be the same; Using pins 3,4,7, and 8 for power. I know that the physical difference for 10/100 and 10/100/1000 is that the for gigabit, all eight pins are utilized in the cable for bi-directional communication whereas in 10/100 only 4 pins are utilized. If I buy an el cheapo PoE injector that says it's 802.3af compliant will the data connection still remain at gigabit speeds, or will it get knocked down to 10/100 speeds? My guess is that if it get's knocked down to 10/100 it's because the power pins on the POE side are not connected to the data side. Can I just jumper the pins on the connectors with some diodes/resistors/or something to make the injector work at gigabit speeds? Of course, I could just go buy a gigabit PoE injector, but I'm cheap and DIY is usually what fits the budget.

Do you have a base line temp for this particular CPU on air? It could be that the temp diode is offset.

A) Where is the temp being monitored from? (CPU diode, motherboard, liquid temps, etc) B ) What is the ambient temp in the room? C) Range of temp change under load?

I have an ASUS KCMA-D8 board that was purchased back in 2011 that used to be for a lowly file server back in the day with only one socket filled. I'm looking to re-purpose it into an light video encoding station and a programming/VM station with some 6-core opteron 4180s. Problem is the board has C32 socket mounting and the backplate is not removable from what I remember. I'm having the hardest time finding decent water blocks that would be compatible. So far I've found: EK Supremacy on Amazon Koolance on frozencpu And that's about it. The Koolance block appears to need additional backplates that I can't find anywhere, and the EK block is... well... made by EK. Short of making my own mounting rings for a newer/already owned CPU block, I think I'm out of luck, Any ideas?
