Ambient temperature? I have around 22°C in my room and my i5 8600k is under 35°C at idle. Under load I would expect it to be under 70°C without overclocking. Once you start to overclock it really depends if you got lucky chip that doesn't have too much adhesive around CPU die.

I'm using RM650X from Corsair ... and when I was trying to get rid of my GPU coil whine I did purchase another PSU just for testing ... differend brand and everything. Coil whine is always present on my GPU as soon as I put some load on it. But my previous R9 390 and R9 270X didn't have any coil whine at all. Same for GTS 450 from years back. Before with my Ryzen build I didn't have any coil whine from motherboard, and I'm still using same PSU.

One interesting things that I noticed ... coil whine gets worse when I put a lot of stress on my network. So it has to do something with my network card on motherboard. Or the chip that runs it. What a weird reason for coil whine lol

I'm using dark rock 3 (not a pro version) and it gets the job done on my i5 8600k at 5GHz. It is also rated to be able to take care of 180W heat, so more than any 1151 CPU can even pull from the socket.

And here are pictures of "things" written on box and UPS itself: I'm not sure what they mean with "LINE INTERACTIVE" ...

I'm not 100% sure if it is that way, but near each outlet it says max 1,3Amps. So that's what I think is going on here. UPS was charging for more than 24 hours now and still the same story. I'm using Corsair RM650x PSU. Power meter only shows WATTS, and nothing else sadly. edit: I also just emailed manufacture about this UPS and how it works ... I'm really interested if it can only power 300W per socket and not 500W on single socket. Then again my PC is only puling 250W when UPS starts beeping, so something must be really wrong here.

If you won't be overclocking, there won't be any problem. Run stress test like aida64 fpu+cpu+cache or prime95 and let us know what temps you are getting. As long as it's under 85°C, I would consider it safe.

I just measured again. PC is using 320W at max, and monitor around 30-50W. I think I know what the problem is ... this UPS have 2 outlets and each of them can only handle 1,3A max. So 230V * 1,3A = 299W *2 outlets = around 600W total power. But it seems like it doesn't like to be pushed to the limits since my PC alone will pull 280W from the wall when running valley benchmark. So I guess that's the problem in my case, and I need to get better UPS that will handle more amps on single outlet.

I used plug power meter and ran Valley benchmark + AIDA64 stress test. So both GPU and CPU were at 100% load. And the result was 350W. Then I tried to game normally and power usage was around 200-270W.

Well I have plugged monitor and PC to those 2 outlets. Nothing else. But all together isn't even pulling 250W.

Yeah, I charged it for 8 hours. It's brand new directly from the store ... Just wanted to ask here first, before I go return it tomorrow.

Today I decided to buy UPS, because we have some weird power outages every single day ... about 10 times a day for less than 1 sec. Just enough to crash my PC. I found this one in store near me: https://www.tecnoware.com/Prodotti/en-US/FGCERAPL900/ups-era-plus-900.aspx It says that it can handle 630W, but when I put load on my PC, this UPS starts beeping. Tried to play some games, and as soon as I start them, UPS starts beeping. Is that not strong UPS enough, to handle my PC (specs in signature)? I know that my system can pull around 350W under 100% max load. But when playing games it's around 250W at best. So I don't get it, why can't UPS handle it if it says that it can support 630W power. Any ideas what am I missing?

Budget is when you spend 500€ for whole PC and not for single component. If you ever decide to go for 4K monitor you should have 1080 ti.

I guess motherboard is the problem in my case ... will see if I can RMA it somehow. I know my GPU is making coil whine. Tested it with 2 differend PSUs and always had coil whine. My PSU doesn't whine ... not exactly anyway. When I stress test my GPU I will hear coil whine from both GPU and PSU. But in previous build when GPU wasn't used, there was no sound coming from my PC. So it seems like I'm that unlucky guy to have motherboard with coil whine

I'm wondering if coil whine could come from CPU, motherboard or RAM. There is some noise coming from my PC that remind me of GPU whining. But just for testing I pulled my GPU out of the system and used iGPU on my CPU. Turned off all fans in PC, and there aren't any other moving parts in my PC. So whining sound must be coming from either CPU, motherboard or RAM. Now I'm pretty sure that RAM isn't a problem here because as far as I know, there aren't any parts on it to cause any kind of noise. Anyone ever had problem with motherboard or CPU whine maybe?

Here is my result from new work PC. Z240 HP workstation. Intel Xeon E3-1270 v6 at stock settings (because there aint no overclocking with OEM motherboards )

That voltage is still within safe limits. If I'm not mistaken 1,35V is fine for 24/7 use.

While this is true, coffelake still seems to run hot. I got i5 8600k and it was hitting 90°C at 5GHz with AVX -2. After delid it's under 75°C at all times. I would first test what you can get from i3 8350k without delid, then decide if temps are too high for your liking and if you want to push additional 100MHz with delid.

http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i3-8350K-vs-AMD-Ryzen-3-1300X/3935vs3930 Keep in mind that if you delid i3 8350k, you will see even higher performance difference. If you comparing just performance, i3 8350k will be much better. But if you are also comparing price ... that's another story.

Not exactly sure where to write this, but I'm interested in making something like Linus did, to move PC in another room. I'm just wondering if that would be possible with components that I'm using (listed in signature), and what would be price for it. I would need 5m or 10m long cable, pci-e thunderbolt card and thunderbolt dock that can support one display port for 1440p 75Hz monitor and also HDMI for 1080p 60Hz TV.

I have G810 at home and G613 at work. Both are great, but I prefer G613 ... for some reason it feel better to type on it than G810 even if both have Romer-G switches.

I got 3 differend GTX 1070s and they all had coil whine Just hope on that 10% to get GPU without coil whine

That's fine.

use hwinfo and it will tell you at what temperature it's running

Not sure what you are doing with your SSD, but if you are writing or reading a lot of data from it (put it under 100% load) it will get hot. But I have never seen my 960 evo go over 60°C, and it reached that temp because GPU is right next to it with all the hot air.
