140W according to "Core Temp". But only on all-core loads. They may explain the drop to 4.3, right? But when idling it sits at 80, according to "Core Temp". Will check, with ryzen master aswell.

So i just got my hands on a nice 5900x and a fairly good board. (asus b550-f). I installed a beefy aio setup (arctic freezer push-pull with 6 fans as intake) (room temp is really cold where i live). Since i didn't have a sleeved 4pin cpu cable i ONLY connected the 8pin for the cpu. When idling the cpu clocks to goddamn 4.55ghz. Wtf. When gaming it stays at 4.55 ghz, when rendering (100% on all cores) it drops to 4.3 It runs fairly cold at 50-60°C while gaming and 70°C on all-core load. Now i am wondering whether i could push it even higher by getting a 4pin cpu cable to saturate all 12 pins. What do you think? Is the cpu power really the bottleneck, or is the cpu?

I like to use windows and i like to use linux. I need to switch often. I am sick of having to go to the bios every time i want to switch. I also don't want a boot manager asking me to select a drive every time i want to boot. I want some little switch i can set to either "windows drive | linux drive". Some kind of sata switch if you will. Do you know if such products exist?

They cost basically the same. Margin of about $6. Great! Seems like the tomahawk it is

pls? Both are supposed to have good vrms

B550 asus strix $180 vs x570 msi tomahawk wifi $185

So a "high-end" b550 board in price range of $160-175 is better than a low-end $180 x570?

Ok thanks

Don't want to cram so much information in the title. Talking about an ASUS ROG Strix B550-F. I'm most concerned about the VRMs. I plan on using a Ryzen 5900x with a slight overclock because it got good cooling. It should still be stable. I've heard that x570 boards are workstation boards. But my rig kinda is a workstation. Sometimes i game, sometimes i do renders in blender, video editing, stuff that really loads the cpu. What do you think? Should i go for this or rather a cheap x570 such as the msi tomahawk?

I know there isn't for gaming, but is there any noticeable difference between booting from a SATA ssd and an nvme (either gen3 or gen4)? I am currently planning on an upgrade including a complete re-install and am contemplating whether or not to get a system nvme with it. I currently boot off a samsung evo 860 2tb (which still takes about a minute)

Very good idea! Side exhaust. Top in, Bottom in, side exhaust. That way i still have fresh air for my cpu!

I see. I thought there was one included. Then i'd mount it vanilla-style. Then i could put in exhaust fans.

Thanks! Sadly, the oc11 has no rear-fan mount. There is plenty space between the gpu fans and the glass. I don't think i can mount bottom fans below the gpu. I think it sits on the fan-mount. I could (most likely) place one to the right of the gpu. I don't have the case yet, hence the uncertainty.

Wouldn't this blow hot air through the radiator?

"Hot air rising" vs fans is like a toddler trying to stop a car by blowing on it. I don't want to suck hot air through my AIO radiator and i want my pump below it

As i tried to visualize, my idea was to have six input fans (3x on my top-mounted AIO, 3x on the "front-panel".) I think these should blow the air right over the motherboard to the vertically mounted gpu and the positive air pressure should vent it out the other ends Case is a lian li o11 dynamic Any improvements?

I tried to find a review for the tt aio the thread was about and found none of the big reviewers (ltt, gamers nexus, derbauer, etc). Which makes me even more suprised that you named gamers nexus. Can you send me a link please? Would be nice if its good because it looks good. Instead i found tons of videos from big reviewers ranting on tt.

Ok thermaltake seems to be mostly shit anyways lmao... Just noticed that for some weird reason the 360 arctic can only be shipped to a city 300km away -.- Is the nzxt kraken gen 3 any good? I saw that a lot in other buidls

I can't get the ek aio because it's just unavailable where i live :(. Nothing on amazon, not even on google shopping. I mean i could just mount rgb fans on the liquid freezer ones but i need a triple-rad. EDIT: nvm, found a triple-rad liquid freezer. was just blind. The cpu block looks super dope! But at that price (+ fans) i could just buy the thermaltake one. How exactly is the artic one better?

Okay, sounds reasonable. You think the msi one is any good? Like, regarding build quality, so it wont begin to leak on my gpu after half a year

Both are 360mm aios. Is thermaltake just stupidious expensive or is the msi one actually worse? (175€) Thermaltake: https://amz.run/3qN6 (130€) MSI: https://amz.run/3qN7 I want to cool my future Zen3 5900x doing all-core loads, i thought an upgrade from my 35€ air cooler would be great. Never had an AIO before and always wanted to get one. It just looks cool.

germoney and euro. Oh the dollar exchange goes has gone insane. Last time i checked they were relatively identical. 180€ is my budget. That's like $214

Yeah, in euroland it only costs $10 more. I mean, it is not really neccesary, but i'd gladly pay $10 more for an actively cooled chipset. My setup does not have great airflow where the chipset sits

Looks like a nice board. Only thing turning me a bit down is that i have to pay for the included wifi adapter that gets turned into a shelf-dweller really quick. Lan all the way

There was a debate last week on the internet wether or not AMD would want to clear up their shitty naming scheme about havin Zen2 and Zen3 both labelled as Ryzen4000, so they would just call Zen3 Ryzen5000. But i did not follow this topic much.
