it's supposed to be ultra pure water. there are no ingredients aside from water.

because when i opened the package, i saw foam at the top. i tested if the foam could have been produced simply by having moved the package and checking which side was up. so, is this normal or is the water broken?

i received two closed bottles of 1000ml ultra pure water. in both cases, foam forms if i shake the bottle. i bought another bottle of distilled water from a pharmacy. if i shake this, the bubbles that form are a lot bigger, and no foam forms. is my water contaminated, or does ultra pure water foam when mixed with air and this is perfectly normal?

realbench stress test -> 75°C

"normal use" is around 60-70 without giving a precise definition of normal use. "Check that you got good thermal paste coverage on the CPU, the die/dies on the 3000 chips are offset to the side, so if your thermal paste didn't spread well, or there's some issue with mounting pressure it could cause some weird temperature spikes. " pretty sure everything is fine. the temperatures were worse before i refilled the AIO. now i get around 80°C with "normal 100% load"

how do i find out?

i've made a stress test with my 3900x@4.3ghz@1.3v the numbers i marked here are usually identical. but when using prime95 one of them shoots up to over 107°C while the other (asus wmi) went up to 98 before i stopped it. according to hwinfo, the cpu uses 216 watts while doing this, compared to 120 watts when running "heavyload" and around 150 when running cinebench r20. only when using prime95 do the temperatures get this extreme. since i am using a be quiet AIO, my question is: if i let prime95 run for too long, will my AIO explode? water evaporates at 100°C. some other things i have no explanation for: at stock settings, the cpu never uses more than ~80 watts for prime95, which is confusing since it runs at 4ghz on all cores compared to just 300 mhz more. also, at stock settings the idle temp is around 60°C, but under oc (up to 4.4ghz@1.3v) the idle temp is 40°C. can anyone shed some light on this?

all i get is this error message: any idea how i can fix it or find out what's wrong?

i have never seen this setting before, where is it?

i checked with the old memory again, same error. unfortunately i cannot confirm exactly when the voltage-bug started... when i got the cpu it was definitely working fine i am very confused about this. i would have guessed that all tools just consistenly read out the incorrect value, but after changing the voltage with ryzen master, all tools show the correct values gain. i checked hwinfo just now. it's giving me 1.1v at "core #1 vid" (and the others) but the desired value at cpu core voltage (SVI2 TFN) what's the difference between these two values?

the error happens regardless of the memory speed. i have a clear cmos button on the outside of the case and already tried that, it didn't help. why would taking the battery out help? and what exactly would i enter at "vcore offset"? (i tried, no change, it's stuck at 1.1v)

i have an asus rog crosshair hero vii until *a few hours ago* i ran my 3900x@4.45ghz using 1.325v then i switched the ram (ddr2400 -> ddr3600), reset the cmos, entered my oc settings again, but: * if i touch the multiplier, my vcore is stuck at 1.1 and doesn't move. * if i do not touch the multiplier, the vcore is dynamic like it should be in both cases, my manual vcore setting is ignored. the correct (set by me) vcore is shown as active in the bios, but not in windows. the system isn't stable anymore when i run cinebench r20 when i overclock the cpu via bios. i can still override both vcore and multiplier with ryzen master, but ryzen master only allows a "max vcore", not a "min vcore". to get my system stable, i need to run at 1.325, not below, but if i set the max voltage to 1.325 in ryzen master, the voltage will go down under load. i need to set it to ~1.4v to get to a minimum of 1.325, but i would like to avoid high voltages. how can i fix this? what is going on? how can changing the memory cause this? i am using the most recent bios.
