    Why to place so many fans in this case? Both R5 1600X and 5700XT are stone cold. I suspect that one/some of your fans might be faulty or wrongly configured (unnecessarily high RPM), this is why it is noisy. A 4-pipe cooler should be able to cool the 1600X at a very low fan speed. I'd suggest 2x140 mm intake fans, the top of the case covered, and 1x120 exhaust fan, this way the pressure is positive, the HDDs are cooled, and there is enough air flow for this system.

    It has been done with Maximus IX Apex successfully (auto translation from Russian). IX Code is not a big difference.

    It actually will explode, or more like burn with a plastic smell) The main problem is not that the hub, blades, etc. are not mechanically designed to work at that speed (if they guarantee 6 years at normal speed, the mechanical parts may still hold), but the electronic circuitry in the fan, which will overload and blow up. Unless you want to get rid of the fans in a fun way, switch them back to 12 V

    I'd argue that NH-A12x25 is the greatest fan of Noctua ATM But you also need to keep in mind that a 280 rad usually has a larger surface area than a 240 rad, so it is not only about the fan size. Btw, does 2700/2700X even need water cooling? I doubt it'll ever dissipate more than 200W, it'll be fine with a good air cooler.

    A non-delidded CPU may be easier to sell in some places. If I were you, I'd sell it while the price is still high, then Coffee-Modded your board (link in my signature) and put an 8th/9th gen i7 in there, even an i5-9600K would be an upgrade.

    You can't resolder it without special equipment (board preheater at least) and experience, it is not easy. Some service centers have youtube videos explaining the process. Another thing to consider: sometimes scammers damage a completely fried board to make it look repairable, and sell it to someone hoping to repair. Say, they bend a few pins of the LGA-motherboard and tell that it is the only problem.

    For 3600 MHz setting Vccsa and Vccio manually to about 1.15-1.2 V should be enough. Adaptive mode voltages has to be set manually. Make sure to read your motherboard's manual, it's quite detailed.

    Previous Athlons were locked officially, but most of the boards can overclock them using a certain AGESA version, 0.0.7.2 I believe. Mine could do 3,9GHz and 3466MHz memory, quite a nice boost) The multiplier OC is unlocked in a previous version, but memory OC is locked to 2666MHz there. And the newer AGESA versions lock the multiplier OC for Athlon 2xx, but memory OC is still possible. Unfortunately, these intermediate AGESA version BIOSes are available not for every board. Of course, having an officially unlocked Zen+ based Athlon chip is better

    This is a good reference point regarding the voltages. As for the LLC, on ASUS LLC level 5 usually keeps voltage close to what you set manually. I prefer to use Adaptive mode for voltage. In HWInfo, what reading do you mean? Vcore is what you should pay attention to. What is your RAM speed and timings?

    16GB dual-rank sticks are "hard" on the CPU and motherboard. It may be OK for an LGA2066 CPU, or a Zen2. Some (not all) of the 2-DIMM LGA1151-2 motherboards are fine with it, too. If you haven't tried already, try upping the Vccsa and Vccio both to about 1.25-1.35V, and upping the memory speed slowly, starting with 3000MHz, for example. Memory can be tricky, check out Buildzoid's videos on youtube.

    The stock TIM does not allow to pass more than about 150W of heat to the cooler: NH-D15, 360 AIO, custom loop, whatever. (both reviews and my own experience). Without the liquid metal it tops about 4,6-4,7 GHz, and 1,3V is not low for this frequency, more like an average sample.

    Did you make sure that all 4 of the slots work. Try to check it by installing just 1 stick, and moving it from the slot 1 to slot 4, one at a time. If all the slots work, there is another thing: part numbers of the new and old kit are different. Secondary and tertiary timings may be different, too, which can cause instability. Install one kit, boot into BIOS, take note of the memory timings. Then install the other kit (alone, just 2 sticks), boot into BIOS, take note of the timings. See which timings are more loose, and set it manually. Then try to boot with all 4 sticks.

    If your CPU is not delidded, it will get to 100 C very easily at 4,7 GHz all core at 1,3V AVX2 load, doesn't matter the cooling. The reason it didn't with an MSI board can be either: throttling power limit settings voltage/LLC settings a different Prime95 version (non-AVX)

    I assume you've read the guide? The pinmod map for Clevo is included, try using CoffeeTime to mod you BIOS (from Clevo's website) and see if it goes well. As for the mod itself, use search at win-raid forum, I believe there were some Clevo owners there who did the mod successfully.

    it may be either: a dead memory controller channel in the CPU itself; bent socket pins relevant to the memory channel; broken trace(s) on the motherboard; dirty contact pad of the CPU; ???

    This CPU is still expensive, even used, and even though it is just an old 4C/8T CPU which is going to become a 10th gen i3 quite soon ? It is not worth holding on to. I would recommend selling it instead, and buying a modern i5 6C/6T with a motherboard, or an R5 6C/12T with a motherboard. As for a Z170/270 motherboard, this is still much better idea than using it with a 6700K ?

    As for the memory, have a look at Micron E-die, like this one. It is cheap and great for Ryzen (3600+ MHz potential), and not bad for Intel. Out of what you listed, the 1st one is better. For a CPU upgrade, I recommend reading this guide.

    Please make a video about this Coffee Mod.

    Totally recommend reading this.

    This cooler has a great RAM clearance, it has cuts in the heatsink on both sides, I remember using huge Corsair Vengeance and HyperX DDR3 modules with it, no problem. With a single fan it can dissipate about 200-230W, max fan speed. With R9-3950X you should be more concerned that its heatspreader is not flat sometimes, so there is a poor contact between the cooler and the heatspreader.

    This is a great way of squeezing some performance out of it. A used i5-7500 is still expensive, you could CoffeeMod your board, then sell the 7500 and buy a modern 6-core i5 for the money, or even add a bit and buy an i7.

    I've read what you've said. I'm not saying that you recommended sanding down/lapping here. I'm saying that people who can't even apply liquid metal properly will do even more harm if they bring sandpaper anywhere near the CPU? As I said before, good de-greasing makes it spread very well, the temps don't climb up, too. Never had to re-apply it though, maybe you have a point.

    Try finding someone locally, who could look into your existing system. Otherwise there is no guarantee that the new system would not be slow the same way. 2600X/3600X can be faster than 9600K in production tasks, but not in gaming. Something is definitely wrong.
  25. 1van
    something must be wrong with your system or settings. A 9600K@5GHz + 2080 combo cannot be that slow.
