Ok so I ran Cinebench for a good 30 minutes and temps settled to a comfy 75°C, voltages were around 1.1V slowly decreasing from like 1.2V. I guess it's just how the thing is supposed to function. High volts on very light work and lower volts when all muscles are flexed. Sorry for the ignorance but do you mean PBO the setting you choose on Ryzen Master? Because if it is the answer is no, because I'm running Windows Server 2019 on this workstation and Ryzen Master doesn't support anything other than Windows 10. I haven't touched any setting in the BIOS, left everything stock because I don't want to overclock, this is supposed to be a long-term solution and I don't want to degrade the CPU for the extra speed. The only thing I have changed in the BIOS is the speed at which the ram operates, which is 3600 Mhz and a timer to turn itself on at a certain hour of the day, that's it.

I was wondering if this is normal behavior, because I've heard that any voltage above 1.4 volts isn't to be considered safe and should be cause of concern on the long term. Whether this is true or not is not entirely clear to me. My 5900X stays at an unconfortable 1.5 V almost ALL the time while casually working, like Visual Studio Code, Excel, Teams and browsing the web and when idling (under load it goes down to 1.35 V) temps get really weird, over 75°C with an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280. I'm just wondering if this is normal behavior intended by AMD. This issue is driving me crazy, and when I run some Java-based program that hits the CPU (notably Minecraft Java edition) temps immediately get out of control and voltages are all over the place. Could this be a BIOS problem? I'm using a B550-A Pro by MSI by the way.

Hi, looking for a cooler I found that the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 will be the best best for a mid-tower high-end PC. Whilst my 5900X is being shipped, I'd like to plan ahead so that I can immediately start building it once it arrives. Tried a few ways, 2 front intake + 2 back exhaust or all exhaust, but I also kinda wanted to take advantage of the filter so I would've been inclined to put the front fans in an intake configuration. That would be pretty bad because I'd literally throw a bunch of hot air from the CPU cooler directly to the GPU. What should I do?

This build is not meant just for gaming. It's really meant for multi-threaded workloads in general; 3D CAD, a touch of gaming, Video Encoding, rendering and other tasks such as Ableton. Most of the time I will have many cpu-intensive programs opened at the same time so I don't think a 5600X would be the right choice for me. I want a good-enough GPU that will get me optimal performance for 1080p gaming with maxed settings, which I believe is not too much to ask for nowadays.

Ok, bought the B550-A PRO, and a couple of Ballistix 8GB 3600MHz modules (maybe overkill but they were on sale so they were cheaper than the 3200 MHz modules so yeah...) I'll follow with the 5800X when it actually becomes available.. I am still not entirely sure about the GPU now that I think about it.

Pulling the trigger on that MSI then.

Hello, I am starting a new Ryzen build and I am planning to get a Ryzen 7 5800X as soon as it get released. I was looking for a motherboard capable of handling 8 cores with a little bit of overclocking (nothing TOO extreme, also I will be using a 240 aio btw) and don't wanna break the bank for fancy features that I might not even use. Wifi is not a feature that I need. Spotted a couple of motherboards respectively X570 and B550. As far as I could understand the Aorus Elite has a total of 14 VRMs whereas the BB50-A Pro only has 10. Will that affect overclocking in a way that I could consider it a no brainer to go for the X570? Worth mentioning that my nvme is not going to be PCIe 4.0, in case you're wondering. Which one should i choose? I hope I can get away with the B550 so I can get both motherboard and RAM with the current budget, I am purchasing components in batches. Also if you know a better value let me know.

Update, actually there is plenty of space for even a thick cooler in that particular case. 240mm it is.

I think that might be a solution, I have to check RAM clearance though as my modules are not exactly low profile...

Like I said, it does support triple rad, but if a 240mm is enough I will gladly save a couple bucks.

Hi everyone, I am planning on building a workstation/powerful gaming-editing rig and it will have a Ryzen 9 3900X. Budget is around 1800€ (2000$), but I want to save as much money as possible so I can get a beefy GPU. The case I will be using supports up to a triple 120mm radiator. I heard that particular CPU gets pretty toasty under load especially when overclocked (definitely will do that) so should I buy a 240mm and get away with it with a few bucks saved or in order for it to function in the best way possible I need a triple rad? Also, which way should I orient it? I'm open to suggestions.

where do you live exactly? You should find something on Amazon

http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GeForce-GT-730-vs-AMD-R7-240/m12582vsm8608 The r7 240 is much better and you only have to add a 20$ note to your budget. Th final decision though, it's up to you.

My dad is a dentist and he needs some graphics horsepower to display 3d models and stuff and that card is just fine.
