It might be ok but I still cant help thinking about my cores boosting harder if I somehow tamed die temp

what's normal Δt between cpu package and die? I have different of 10C on 5950x and its a bit frustrating that with beefy cooler I have almost 80C on the die

it is a little hot. 87 on a die

I want to update thermal interface in the gpu and i dont know what is the thickness of the thermal pads that is using in this gpu. does anybody know ?

I got exact same stutters when I enable tpm in bios! tuf gaming b550m-plus 5950x

Same here. PBO cant boost my 5950x even to 4.8! Im trying to OC 5950x for MAYA workloads (single core perfomnce). With this settings: PBO - manual, PPT TDS EDC - 280 235 240, overdrive - 50mhz, curve optimizer: all cores -25, LLC - lvl1, cpu voltage - offset + 0.05v. I get max 4.6 Ghz and 75C cpu temp (85 diode). If I set all to auto and curve optimizer to -30 as freeagent suggested, pc wouldnt even boot.

not really but it depends. over time motherboard can deform around socket. But if you gonna move around your pc and you are not careful with this, motherboard can get damaged.

There is one more reason why you want to stick with AIO. NH-D15 is a greater cooler but it weighs 1.32 kilo. I'm personally not ok with that amount of weight on a motherboard.

think you can try to cover the board with some varnish so watery won't damage it.

first of all i need to find a way to make liquid metal myself, i'm not ready to spent an absolute fortune on a conductonaut.

you can chemically coat interior of a radiator with silver.

idk but using liquid metal as a heat carrier would be way cooler )

conductonaut is a liquid at room temperature. I believe you can make custom loop out of stainless steel. Also you don't need a pump.

I'm planning to build a system with a 9900 in it. To cool that succer i need some beefy cooling solution, so I start to research what can i do in tiny case like 202. I stumbled across of a substance called NaK, it's used to cool nuclear reactors and you can pump it just using magnets and electricity. Its pretty nasty stuff and it can catch flames just out of water in air. So it got me thinking what if i'll use conductonaut instead of a water in liquid cooling system? That would be interesting experiment to make, but it would be very expensive. May be someone have done something like this?

Think I'll go with it. pretty small case and I will not have to compromise on a cooling/performance.
