Oh.. Right i'm a fool... Thx

Okay! Thx for all the responses. I will put on all the cover thing again, and then hope, the upcomming air from the bottom of the case won't trap the hot air. (Or even worse make the little-fan thingy turn the other way.

Thx for the quick apply! The reason why i'm worried is because the manual told me to: But when i read further into the manual, i can see that they tell me to put them on again. But that's under a section called M.2 Installation.

Hi! Im moving my stuff into another case with a different airflow. I’ll take the occasion to ask you guys, if it’s nessesary to remove those M.2 cooling-plates aswell as the cover on that propeller-thing on the motherboard. See image, before and after: My main question though, is: Does the fan (incoming air from the bottom of the case) have a huge influence on the little fan-thingy on the motherboard, which tries to cool down the heatsink beneath? Will the Air inside the heatsink get trapped and therefore the components underneath will get too warm? - I can plug it out it seams, but will that course problems? Heres a bigger view: (Im gonna have 3 fans down there btw)

I guess, the NB Frenquency has to be doubled right? If so, then it should run 3600Mhz and CL 16 .... Hurray!

Thanks so much! I couldn't find the XMP profile, because i didn't know about D.O.C.P. After googled a little bit, i found that D.O.C.P option was available under AI Overclock Tuner. After i set it to D.O.C.P, it notified me about FCLK and 1:1 and changed it all, so it was propper 1:1. Thanks!

Ok, i'll Quickly look at the BIOS, and try to find XMP or DOCP

Hi’ I’ve seached all over the web, about Ryzen 3000 and which RAM that works well with the the processor. I found this thing called “Infinity Fabric” which is some thing AMD uses to determine “the sweet spot” in terms of RAM frequency and Cas Latency as far as I’ve understood. I saw this picture AMD released for their Ryzen 3000 series, where it said that the best price/performance spot was 3600MHz and CL16. So I went at bought these g.skill TridentZ neo DDR4 RAM (F4-3600C16D-32GTZNC) with CL16-19-19-39 1,35V. It specially says on the box, that they are “engineered to provide premium performance for the latest AMD Ryzen 3000 series on the X570 chipset platform” I have a Ryzen 9 3900X CPU and Asus Rog Strix X570 F-Gaming MOBO. NOW I’ve updated the BIOS and suddenly options appear, like FCLK frequency. But I don’t know what i should fiddle with, I don’t want to kill the electronics. Under the tab “Ai Tweaker” (inside the bios) Memory Frequency is set to ‘Auto’ and it says the target DRAM (which I guess is RAM/Memory) frequency is ‘2133MHz’. I can in here (the BIOS) set the Memory Frequency to some values between ‘DDR4-1333MHz’ and ‘DDR4-6000MHz’ instead of ‘Auto’ (3600MHz is one of them). FCLK Frequency (which is something to do with infinity fabric I think) is set to ‘Auto’ as well, where the Target FCLK Frequency is ‘1200MHz’. Like the Memory Frequency can I instead of ‘Auto’ set some values. Here between 666MHz and 3000MHz. Target CPU speed is 3800Mhz (it has gone over 4,2 MHz, when using the computer though - I don’t know if it has something to do with “AI Overclock Tuner” or “Perfermance Enhancher” being set to ‘Auto’). It says DRAM voltage is 1.2V i don’t know if it has to be 1.35V as it says on the TridentZ neo box. But I can’t change it - it’s not an option to change ‘auto’. Under a sub folder “Ai Tweaker\DRAM Timing Control” The DRAM CAS# Latency is 15CL and is set to ‘Auto’ - can’t change it. I’ve noticed that Increasing the DRAM frequency to 3600MHz increase this to like 25CL or something. (Which is what I don’t understand, when the RAM says it can do 3600Mhz and CL16 - specifically for the Ryzen 3000 Series in order to get infinity fabric 1:1) Don’t know if I have to check’ something, if I am to change these ‘auto’ values. What should I do, in order to get maximum out out my RAM?

Okay thanks for the advice! I'll wait a bit, since It's not urgent. If i were to change the CPU, MOBO and Cooler i would probably go with one of the newer Ryzen CPUs from gen 3. It was more about, it being easy for me to change the CPU to a gen 2 TR. I wanted to know if it would make a big difference in game performance. Especially those games who almost only use CPU, since I saw the data from those links said there is a difference between 35fps and 400+ using 1920x vs 2950x, which sounded too good to be true.

-------------------- Back story/experience ---------------- I went with a Threadripper build because of the benchmark I saw on different sites. At the time I thought Higher Benchmark = Higher FPS in gaming, but when i was running CPU demanding games like Minecraft, League of Legends i realized that the CPU wasn't meant for gaming (even though AMD states that the Threadripper x-series is for gamers and enthusiasts) The reason I thought a Threadripper was great, was because of the "for enthusiasts"-part since edit videos and do some 3D-renderings and stuff as well. It doesn't run Premiere Pro and Davinci Resolve smoothly, but that's another topic. Also, in case I wanted to upgrade in the future i knew AMD used the same sockets for the next generations. (RIP gen 3) I didn't understand why my current PC-build didn't run with 300-400fps on 1080p when my old rig with GTX 960 and i5-SomeOldGen ran at 120fps. Especially when I ran games like overwatch at 200-300fps. But I figured out that it must be my CPU, and It's because League of Legends runs almost entirely on CPU-processing with minimal multi-core support. I have a Gigabyte RTX 2080 Gaming OC 8GB afterall. I currently run League Of Legends on 120FPS Capped with medium-low settings 1080p. It drops down to a place between 50-100FPS in team fights when a lot is going on, on the screen. Uncapped it usually stays in an area between 120-240FPS (outside team fights) --------------- Now comes the question ---------------- Will upgrading my TR 1920x to a TR 2920x increase my FPS and general performance a lot? I saw these two links comparing FPS with Ryzen Threadrippers in League of Legends, and the difference between 1920x and 2950x seemed significant. https://www.gpucheck.com//compare-game-cpu/league-of-legends/amd-ryzen-5-3600-vs-amd-ryzen-threadripper-1920x https://www.gpucheck.com/compare-game-cpu/league-of-legends/amd-ryzen-7-3700x-vs-amd-ryzen-threadripper-2950x/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060 I saw some videos on YouTube with comparisons and the performance increase didn't seem all the great. Thought they didn't review games like League of Legends and Minecraft, where CPU means a lot. ----------------------------- Specs --------------------------- GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 GAMING OC 8G CPU: Ryzen Threadripper 1920X MOBO: ASRock x399 Taichi RAM: 2x16GB DDR4 G.Skill Aegis 3000MHz PSU: 650W eVGA SuperNova 650 G2 CPU-Cooler: Noctua NH-U12S (Temperatures are fine)
