  1. Cleared the CMOS again... now it works. YAY! For anyone who needs this in the future, the ASUS MOBO "optimization" was the problem... After I cleared the CMOS again, I started changing bios settings one by one, it was the culprit that handicapped my CPU, no clue why.
  2. @Techea, our friendly neighborhood @AlexTheGreatish has shown us through this video that the NH-u12s can, in some cases, outperform a 360 rad. So it should at worst be sufficient to reach boost speeds, all things installed correctly. Especially since I am not seeing any thermal throttling. I don't know, I think I am missing something. Maybe some bios setting that got garbled in an update.
  3. @Techea Yep, that is what I am reading all my info from. Cores at idle are 3699 MHz Currently at 40.9 C C20 score of 8358
  4. @TecheaSo I run Cinebench R20 and I reach 77 C on the package temp. At idle I am sitting at 42 C. Also, I should clarify. My CPU doesn't reach UP to 3.7Ghz. It is ALWAYS running at 3.7 Ghz. No boosting, no throttling, no changes at all.
  5. So, friendly people of the LTT forum, I come to you, hat in hand, hoping for guidance. Currently my Ryzen 3950x only reaches speeds of 3.68 GHz (shown in Task Manager) or 3,700.0 MHz (shown in hardware Info). Yes I know these are the same, just being thorough. Here is how I have tried to troubleshoot thus far: Turned on MOBO optimized settings Updated Bios (v 1201) Clear CMOS Updated Chipset Updated Windows Became Sad Here are my specs: Windows 10 home 64bit Ryzen 3950X (Precision boost enabled, but still doesnt work when disabled) Asus Crosshair Impact VIII x570 2x16 GB G.Skill Trident Z Neo (3600Mhz C16 XMP profile 1) Noctua NH-U12s Chromax (Dual Nf-F12 fans in push/pull) EVGA RTX 2080ti XC (Stock) Force Series Gen.4 PCIe MP600 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD (Boot Drive) Samsung 850 Pro 1TB (Storage) Samsun 850 Pro 2TB (Storage) Seasonic Prime Ultra Titanium 850W PSU 4x Thermaltake Riing Plus 12 RGB TT Premium Edition 120mm (Case Fans) All in an NZXT h210i As this is the community forum you should totally join, I hope there is someone who can help! Thanks. EDIT: The frequency is locked at 3.7Ghz doesn't go above or below that value ever.
  6. So I am planning on building a PC this summer with a custom water-cooling loop and have spent an inordinate amount of time specing out my rads and fans only to come to a question I can't seem to answer easily. I have searched around and hear amazing reviews about Noctua's NF-F12 fans and how they are power houses of fans for radiators, but I hear very little about the NF-A14's. The dilemma I have come to is thus: is it more efficient for cooling to use a 360mm rad (3x120mm fans) with the amazing and incredible NF-F12's or do I use a 420mm rad (3x140mm) with the NF-A14's when they aren't touted by Noctua, or anyone else, to be incredible static pressure radiator fans. So everyone is aware, I have read Noctua's numbers on the pressure that the NF-A14's hold, which is respectable, no doubt. I just haven't found any reviews to back up the static pressure numbers with user data. Thanks, Bev
