Hi HanZie82, Thank you for your reply. I got nothing against Scythe, but since the RAM is kind of tall (43.5mm), I'm really wondering which cooler will fit the setup. I saw that both Scythe ram clearance is quite high. The FUMA2 is quite intriguing. Thank you for your input man.

Hi Guys, I'm planning to build a PC with the following component: Gigabyte B550M Aorus Pro Team T-Force Dark Z Alpha Ryzen 5 5600X I'm planning to change the Wraith CPU air cooler that comes with the 5600X. The RAM's height is 43.5mm. I'm wondering what air cooler should I buy? Will these air cooler work? CM Hyper 212 LED -> I think this one won't work Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 Noctua NH-L12 Noctua NH-D15 Any Deepcool recommendation? Any BeQuiet recommendation? I'm open to suggestion. Thanks.

Just want to report that with current CPU Offset -0.5V the temperature is table at around 47 C no load and under load its around 68-70C. So yeah your suggestion really helped. Currently all of its core is running at around 4.2Ghz. This is with the room using AC when no AC is on it will go around 58C no load and around 78C under load. The temperature is still acceptable. CPU Offset of -1V make the CPU to only run at 3.9-4 GHz with no temperature benefit, so -0.5V is the way I go now. I still want to try Otto_iii's suggestion though but haven't got the time to fully learn to understand ryzen Master and its manual overclocking capabilities. Previously on my report of 82C under load is basicly my fault. I ran 2 PC near each other and the second PC is generating heat so bad. The air in the room itself is not well circulated with no AC on. Once I opened the room, the temp went from 82C to 76C almost instantly. I think the rads are just saturated with hot ambient temperature. Thank you for all of your suggestion. Cheers and Happy New Year

Thanks for your suggestion. I'll look into it. So what you are meaning, if I want to go the PBO way I should look into the negative voltage offset. If I go the Anthony Video way, no need to do negative offset?

My mobo settings is actually just what you mentioned. I updated the BIOS to latest firmware and reset the CMOS. Then I just turn on PBO on the motherboard and leave the other settings on default. I will try xg32 suggestion on using offset though

Oh so the SOC is when I want to specify the memory settings manually? So for now it's best to specify it as auto. I will only set -0.05V on Dynamic core without the SOC. Regarding XMP I already set the Profile 1, so it's running at 1800 Mhz (I'm using TridentZ Neo 3600C16D). The picture above is from the Aorus Master manual book, since I'm confused which offset should I use. I will update you with the new temps and performance later on, since I'm not in front of the PC right now.

Just to be clear since the motherboard settings is kind of confusing for me. I'm supposed to type -0.05 Volt on Dynamic Vcore (DVID) but leave Dynamic VCORE SOC (DVID) to auto right?

I got it. Googled about Voltage Offset and found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97Bd66dfkXs Thank you so much for your input. Will try this ASAP with -0.05 offset.

So its like setting the Vcore voltage to around 1.250 Volt right ?

Should I be doing this through the Ryzen Master ? Its like manually setting up the voltage on the motherboard right? I will try your suggestion though. Thank you for your reply. I apologize for the stupid question, it is my first time messing with an unlocked processor and overclocking friendly motherboard. Never touch the settings in my life before this. I wasn't actually intending to overclock the processor to do wonder, I was actually hoping to know the normal operating temp on these things. I also wishes to somehow see the advertised 4.7 Ghz on one of the cores.

I didn't mess with the voltage. It was on auto with PBO turned on from the motherboard, not Ryzen Master. After I updated the BIOS on Aorus Master to F11, at the beginning of the handbrake process it was automatically 4.2 on all cores. Gradually through time it was around 4 GHz to 4.1 Ghz on all cores.

Use a usb stick, format as FAT 32 (Never tried with other FS) and save the bios file (unzipped) on the root. Reboot and then go to BIOS. There will be some tab to update your BIOS. It will search for your USB Stick. Just make sure the power is stable while you are doing it. There is usually a readme on the BIOS update download, read it carefully and follow the steps.

It should not matter that HDD and SSD are plugged in with 1 cable, but you may try. Try to connect the nearest power cable to the PSU to the SSD first. As far as I know, SSD might get warm, but never hot. My SSD is usually on around 40C. Try to update your BIOS with the latest version. https://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/B365M Pro4/index.asp#BIOS

1. Yup, as Zusafek stated check where your SSD is mounted, if you can, run the system with the case open, feel the temp on the SSD (its not supposed to be hot). 2. Check your RAM using Windows Memory Diagnostic tool = Windows + R then mdsched.exe. 3. Try to run without XMP turned On. 4. Usually if it can detect the SSD then can't, it might be related to BIOS, is your BIOS the latest version? 5. If I'm not mistaken Samsung has their own SSD Health Check. Try to check its health. There is a probability you got a bad SSD. 6. You might as well try to reinstall your Windows (might be corrupt somehow).

So... I reapplied the thermalpaste with Grizzly Kryonaut. I ran some transcoding from x264 to x265 using Handbrake and it ran for 1 day 13 hour or so... With CPU Utilization ranging in 50%ish, the CPU Temp is 82 C, it peaked on 93 C. All of the fans are all maxed out. I even change the front glass panel into mesh. The question : is this normal? Or is it hotter than how it is supposed to be? I was wondering if CPU Utilization is on 50% ish and its already that hot, what if it run 100%. Will the PC be toast? Or thermal throttling will just happen? Before I change the thermalpaste I already see the PC restarted on its own twice, I think this is because the thermal exceeded the barrier. I think I already see thermal throttling happens here. When I start the process, room is still with AC back then, I got 4.2 Ghz on all core, now on 82 degrees it is mostly 4 Ghz on all cores. All of this is just using PBO on motherboard not through Ryzen Master and certainly not manual overclocking. I also updated the Aorus Master BIOS to latest ~ F11 and reset the CMOS. For another info: I live in Jakarta, Indonesia. The room in which my PC is located might not have a good airflow (closed room with no AC on). I haven't been in the room since I started that process, so I don't really know how hot it is. After the reapplication of thermalpaste the idle temp is around 48 - 50 C. If by chance I change the X62 with a custom watercooling (Hydro X) and using two rads (360mm and 280mm) what is the probability for one of the core to reach 4.7 Ghz ? I think I will water cool the CPU and the GPU both. Will the temp improve ? Since custom water cooling is very expensive I'm considering the practical benefit first (The PC looking cool is just a bonus).
