    Pretty certain your pads are too thick, limiting cold plate contact to the core.

    That was a noise normalised thermal test you linked to at 40db and the 47.5c is degrees over ambient.

    Is this 83c in Aida?   If it is then it's kinda where i would expect it to be.

    Yeah I know it is different and may be cooler but I'm a bit OCD in symmetry. Can't handle top and front panels being inclined/declined per ce. Cuz I place it on desk parallel to the edge of my desk. So I will see the case and can be triggered

    glenalz81 reacted to Baroon in Carbide Air 240 Build!   
    Hello!
    After asking for advise for my PC build here on the Forum back in 2014, my computer stayed basically the same (besides some more SSD's) till the beginning of 2020 - it served me really well.
    Getting into VR during the lockdown showed me that my PC wasn't up for the new task though, so i began to upgrade it over the months and now i am finally done!
    Basically everything besides the case and SSD's is new. These are my new specs:
     
    CPU: Intel i5 10600K @ 4,9GHz
    RAM: G.Skill Trident Z DDR-3200 16GB @ 3900MHz CL15
    GPU: EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 XC Ultra (still have to overclock it besides turning power- and temp-limit to max!)
    Motherboard: Z490M GAMING X
    AIO: EK-AIO 240 D-RGB
    PSU: Seasonic Focus+ Gold 550W PCGH-Edition
    Case: Corsair Carbide Air 240
     

     
    I am now at a point where i am quite happy how it looks, and even more satisfied with the performance and little noise it creates. I like the understated look of the EK AIO, not putting their name front and center like other competitors.
     

     
    I was really surprised what a difference the Noctua NF-A9 PWM chromax below the GPU make (120mm fans sadly dont fit in this spot when using a mATX motherboard). Even during 100% load the GPU stays really quiet, where before it sounded more like a hairdryer.
    The small red PCI-E expansion card is for additional USB ports for full body tracking.
     

     
    I will probably never find a replacement for my case - it fits so perfectly in my shelf and i am a big fan of the horizontal layout and how much filtered fanspots it has!
    My only hope would probably be an updated Corsair 280X which brings back the option to flip the case... and less tempered glass over the intake.
     

     
    Upgrading my pc was really enjoyable, even with some smaller and sadly also bigger hiccups. I am actually kinda sad that i am done with it (for now!).
    Wearing rubber gloves during every step of the process also helped me getting used to installing hardware while wearing gloves, since i will start working in a clean room of a Fab next year.
    Researching some parts i wanted to use was not easy though, since i do not want to have any RGB-Software installed. Thankfully the GPU and Motherboard remember the last setting, even when unplugged. 
     
    Anyways, thanks for taking the time to read my post - i would appreciate any feedback and if you have questions, please ask!

    r20 needs a bit more Oomph.
     
    Not spent much time running r20 but i had a play with the new CTR software recently which does some automatic per CCX overclocking with the r20 benchmark built in.
     
    It arrived at  CCX 1-4475MHz  and  CCX 2-4450MHz  running 1.275v with LLC level 3.  I'm fairly certain i could get a bit more manually just haven't got round to it yet.

    glenalz81 got a reaction from Deli in 3700x/3800x new buyers silicone result   
    Got my 3800x at the beginning of July and the silicon in that compared to the 3600x i had before which was a few months after launch was night and day!
     
    Granted it's not a 3700x and you may expect better silicon in a 3800x but even still. I think the general consensus is the later chips are a tad better.
     
    Not to say a good early sample wouldn't beat out a poor later sample but there is certainly a bit of luck involved.
     
    The 3600x took 1.4v to pass Cinebench r15 at 4400MHz all core.
    The 3800x can do 4525MHz all core at 1.2625v.

    That is really nice. May suade me to a 3800x instead. Since they do not cost that much more. 🤔 can you do a cine bench r20 bench at that clock speed and voltage?
     
    Edit
    The 3800xt is only 10 bucks more here then the 3800x 🤔

    Think i'd be upscaling and maxing settings to shift the load more towards the GPU?
     
    The 2080 must have been almost bottlencking the 4790 in some titles i'd say.
