    What is your RAM settings exactly? Set Vccsa and Vccio to about 1.2-1.25V manually. 9600K are not the best chips, but judging by the stats here, it should be able to hold 4.6G all core AVX2 load at less than 1.4V. Some other settings may be wrong.

    83-88C should be fine. There is a lot of room in the case. I'd recommend to check if the CPU cooler is installed properly, it may be a reason for high temps.

    Set them both to about 1.25-1.3V max, then try reducing by little. 1.4 will kill your CPU soon. 4000 MHz DRAM speed usually does not require higher than 1.25V Vccsa and even lower Vccio.

    It's a great PSU. Japanese high-temp caps, fan control, 5 yrs warranty, you'll be fine)

    It worked for me, especially with GPU temps, worth trying. The PSU in that system was an overkill, so it did not get hot by itself and passing hot air through it did not hurt it much. Otherwise it may reduce the PSU's life, the only downside I can see.

    Cylon is bad, but not that bad. I used to run a 150W CPU in a Cylon Mini for fun, it was around 70-75C in gaming. Ryzen 2600X is a much cooler CPU. I installed the PSU so its fan was UP, not down. This way it took the air from the GPU and made the system run noticeably cooler. And the case had a stock rear exhaust fan. As you mentioned, installing 2 front intake fans there did not help in any way)

    Where do you plan to buy it? Please post links.
  8. 1van
    By available I meant what CPUs you can buy and for how much? It will make the choice easier.

    what dual-core socket 939 CPUs are available to you?

    A fun CPU indeed. Btw, this may be interesting for you, too. No, it is top LGA1150 CPU, there were i7s, too. It has an L4 cache and Iris iGPU. They were quite rare.
  11. 1van
    The good thing is that Broadwell has an L4 cache which makes it much less sensitive to memory speed (but not to the size). I tested that 8GB of RAM is still enough for modern games if you don't leave the browser, etc. open, and if you have a graphics card with 6-8GB of VRAM, so swapping it to RX578 or RX588/590 may be a good idea)

    Btw, if you are feeling adventurous, you could try ordering LGA1150-adapted CrystallWell CPUs from Taobao, like i7-4960HQ. Here is a FAQ (autotranslated from Russian). Asus Maximus VII Ranger is a nice board. There is an LTT video about it, but they bough wrong CPU (no L4 cache there):

    I don't think it is smart to buy a platform that close to its end, but not as close so the prices would drop
  14. 1van
    If you don't want to replace the whole system yet, look for LGA2011 Xeons at ebay/aliexpress, they have as many as 12C/24T, which is good for work. The price can be high for some models, but still less expensive than the whole new platform. Btw, i7-4930 is a 3rd gen, not a 1st gen

    It is typical for Zen 2 CPUs due to 7nm (high heat density), chiplet design, and uneven CPU heat spreaders. Some of these CPUs have their lids taller close to the edge then in the middle. It makes poor contact with the cooler. The solution for some people was to machine/flatten their CPU IHS and the cooler base, but it voids warranty and not for everyone. It may sound strange, but you could get lower temps with a stock-like cooler which has a round pad in the center, and does not touch the edges. UPD: I see it's solved, nice

    I confirm the issue with Seasonic Focus Gold and Vega 56 - my friend had the problem. Although Seasonic helps/replaces such PSUs, for some countries it requires shipping abroad.

    Download HWMonitor or HWInfo64 to see what your CPU temperatures are under load. Do you have a graphics card? There aren't many games you can play with the HD 530.

    Just realized you have 2-rank sticks and a Zen+ CPU with a 4-slot motherboard. I think you should expect 2933-3000 MHz best case in this situation. Zen 2 has an improved IMC, but I don't know if your board is good with memory, too. Edit: Don't just cramp up the SoC voltage, at over 1.1 V you can easily kill your CPU in a long run. High Vsoc is not needed for such memory speeds. Btw, while Corsair ver. 4. are Samsung chips indeed, 3200CL16 is "bad" Samsung, while 3200 14-14-14 is "good" Samsung.

    Make sure to get a dual core CPU, not a single core. People may laugh, but this platform is still good for office work

    I'd go R5 3600 with a good AM4 board. The prices on Ryzen will drop massively, as usual. No need to waste money on 3700X-3900X now if you don't use the CPU for work. As for Intel LGA1151-2, it is a dead end, this platform stops with i9-9900KS, the next one is LGA1200 in the beginning of the 2020, as far as I read.
  21. 1van
    something is wrong with your cooler mounting or settings. At stock it should not go over about 80C with a stock cooler.
  22. 1van
    Totally agree with @Otto_iii, LGA1151-2 is to be dead in the beginning of the next year, and you can't go much higher than 9700K on this platform. If you pick a good AM4 board, even if you go with 3600-3700X now an drop in an R9-3950X later (or Ryzen 4xxx when they come out) it'll be a major upgrade. Btw, I have a 9700K and 8700K, 9700K is faster just about everywhere I tested. The only reason 8700K stays competitive is that it is delidded with liquid metal)

    What is ver. #.## number on a sticker on each stick? 3200C16 is unlikely to be Samsung B-die
  24. 1van
    I'm afraid 4x HDDs will fail any noise-reduction attempt :)

    I'm talking about electronic circuitry, not the frame. Keep us posted?
