I have a 3700X, and I just downloaded the latest Chipset drivers. I am also running the latest Windows updates. Before you were supposed to use Ryzen Balanced, but wondering if that is still the case? Thanks!

I used the paste that came with the AIO and after applying this one, it's easily an 10 degrees difference

I used the old "put a drop sized amount in the middle, and then squish it with the AIO". However I later saw that it had an included spatula / spreader, and I'm not sure if using that would be even more beneficial. My temperatures have already dropped compared to my old thermal paste, but wondering if it's worth the hassle of taking it out again and reapplying it with the spreader.

The only reason I was thinking about it was so it could be a little quieter. It's mostly quiet now, but there are some times where the fans rev, even when idle. I was thinking maybe a 360mm would have solved that noise issue.

Ryzen 3700X. Idle temps are around 50C while gaming they go up to about 70-75C.

I have a Corsair H100i Platinum RGB 240mm cooler, and I'm wondering if upgrading to a 360mm will offer better noise levels / performance? Currently running a Lian Li Dynamic 011 case

I'm currently downloading / installing a game to my SSD, but at the same time I'm playing an different game. Not sure if that's going to corrupt anything on the installation process. Should I wait for the entire game to finish downloading / installing before playing a game that was already installed to that SSD?

Hello, I'm trying to decide between these 2 UPS: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1513053-REG/cyberpower_cp1500pfclcd_pfc_sinewave_ups.html or https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1383471-REG/apc_br1500ms_back_ups_pro_br.html/specs They both have solid reviews. I've always gone with APC in the past, but most review sites have said that the CyberPower one is the best choice. According to the OuterVision website, I'm using about 465W on Load for my computer. Even being generous and saying 500W to round up, I think I may be fine with just 900W, but they're both the same price, so I'm wondering if I should just go CyberPower for peace of mind. Thanks for your help! Also I heard the warranty on APC is waay better than CyberPower. So that's also affecting my decision. Thanks for your help!

I have a Ryzen 3700X paired with a Corsair H100i (240mm radiator). I'm using Ryzen Master for this. On idle, my CPU hovers around 45C. I went into Ryzen Master and did the Stress Test (with everything on default), and the highest it got was 75C. Also, it shows this on my Ryzen Master. This just means that the CPU maximum is 95, and not that my CPU has hit that temperature right? https://imgur.com/a/ZsYCcXD
