Hey guys/galls. I was thinking to cover my backplate with some thermal pads and copper heatsink over it with a fan blowing upwards in order to reduce VRAM temps when mining while idle from PC but i just saw this and not sure how to proceed with it. Do you think a propper sized thermal pad would make a difference in this case? I'm looking to mine but not on YOLO temp mode, but in decent moderate temps and would like to lower them even more. If anyone already disassembled their 3090 Gaming X trio - please share your experience. I know even if MSI aknowledge it as a problem they would like me to send it for "repair" which means roughly 2-4 weeks without GPU, on the other hand i will loose warranty (if i'm being honest with them), so i'm thinking resolve the problem on my own. My inner voice is telling me to tear it all appart, but my common sense is saying that working only on the top side between the backplate would make the biggest difference and i should leave the bottom part with the shroud and core alone. Please throw, some comments, ideas and critics ....

Any updates? Did you change the thermal pads? I just might have to do that with mine since some of them seems not to make a contact with the backplate at all

Aye @boggy77 & @Tristerin Gear down mode solved the question, and i guess that answers Tristerin's question about Ryzen still having issues with uneven timings. Now, let's see how stable will they be, and if they are - i will try again to tighten the timins or clock the speed (or both) after i get my new PSU. P.S. Apparantly Gear Down Mode is on AUTO by default which acts as ENABLED usually, so ..... i learn something new every day ^^ Thank you guys, you're great!

Because it's unstable even at it's default settings

OK, I will check that later, but I'm pretty sure that the other system I tried the modules is at Gear Down Mode Disabled. Will check later and will let you know.

Yeah the ram is in QVL and the bios is the latest one v.1805 - AMD AM4 AGESA V2 PI 1.2.0.0 I've been tryin different ram slots with both modules and every ram slot with single module. So Ryzen had a problem with uneven CL timings? ......hmmm, i'm few days (max next week) away to RMA it or at least demand RMA.

Hey guys/galls. Got new HyperX HX436C17PB3/16 2x16GB and as i reset bios to it's default settings and shift the ram to it's second profile (DOCP) @3600Mhz on CL-17-19-19, the OS CPU-Z shows it runing as 18-19-19 which is not exactly what i was looking for. If i switch the RAM timing from CL17 to CL16, CPU-Z shows 16-19-19 which i would say at this point that CPU-Z is showing correctly and there is something wrong with the memory? Tried under the latest bios (released 2-3 days ago) and the one before it. I've tried the ram on another system with Asus Crosshair VIII Hero Wifi and so far the ram is not in the QVL of this motherboard so maybe that's the reason the ram even didn't boot @ 3600Mhz (DOCP), only 2400Mhz (default one). Tried the ram on 3rd system with gigabyte B450M D3SH and the ram was detected - runing again on 18-19-19 and few minutes afterwards i got BSOD few times in a row. ON my motherboard it runs as long as i don't put too much pressure on it, but if i start some serious Premiere Pro sequence exporting - it might finish exporting, or might reboot due to BSOD (usually my exports last between 2-5 hours with hardware encoding). Also getting BSOD with various errors (some of them pointing at ram, but you can't see those just by runing the system idle usually). The motherboard manufacturer told me that if the bios is detecting the ram runing at CL17 it doesn't matter what monitoring software shows but i'm keen to dissagree. Currently i run on my old RAM 3x8GB from same brand but different models (2 modules Savage and 1 Predator) runing simultaneously @3000 with tiden timings and undervolted without a single BSOD in months so ........ i'm pretty sure it's the ram causing this mayhem but i wonder if this is normal to be seen higher timings under OS monitoring if everything is set to default in BIOS. I'm thinking to RMA it, since HyperX support doesn't look much to help me (they answered once in 2 days waiting and it's a 3rd day waiting for their answer after i confirm that i followed their guides, compared to Asus answering me once every day) Please share some advices, ideas, experiences - would be much appreciated. Specs Mobo: Asus Rog Strix B550-F Gaming CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600x GPU: MSI RTX 3090 Gaming X Trio PSU: Seasonic Focus Platinum 850W (SSR-850PX) which i'm going to replace with Corsair HX1200 these days.

MSI Optix Mag322CQR - Click here ;) - Check this one, it supports also 165Hz and i'm sure you would love it - it's one of the best. I'm using the last year model 322CQRV - Love it!

Wise decision. Have a good one too!

Sadly mine is one of the very first that came to the market and all i managed to get is all cores at 4.2 which is the most stable one i can get. I can run CCX0 (3 cores) @ 4.275 and CCX1 (3 cores) @ 4.2 but sometimes i get some instabillity errors in certain apps, so i rolled to the first option.

Yes the X version have a 200 Mhz more boost, but the XT is this year refresh over last year (X and NON X versions) for which basicly they say that they perfected more the silicon from the last year. 3800XT and 3900XT have same clock speed, but what i see in reviews that you have bigger chance for 3800XT to reach that 4.7Ghz without much of effor (maybe just a little offset - maybe) but 3900XT because of it's high core count is heating a bit more and have trouble reaching it's speed on all cores .....basicly in youtube reviews and comparisment i see it boosting up to 4.5 so ........ if you're not gonna do heavy workload but mostly gaming - go for R7 3800XT or cheaper version 3600X

Ah yeah. if you're not in a hurry - you can wait for zen 3 release so prices on zen2 will drop a bit

Currently Using R5 3600 and i would definately recomend Zen2 since it has serious increase of IPC over zen+ Also if you can afford it another option is Ryzen 7 3800XT since it's still zen2 but unlike 3900X/XT it is reported that 3800XT reaches his advertised clock far better then the 3900 models which for gaming would be very well received despite that some people call it "waste of silicon" If you can't afford it - go for R5 3600 - makes my job done

The arctic Freezer II seems to be a good choice (many people report good delivery from it) but not sure if 360 or 280. I'm building a new PC for a friend and we got 280 because of the fan size and have in mind that if you do chose that option too - you might not be able to put another fan to that AIO even if the fan is 120x120 which is kinda anoying but it all depends on the case. Case seems fine. Beware! I would recommend not to start new build now since the prices are not exactly stable due to shortage of components in certain areasa (half of the PSU's i'd like to buy are on shortage, RAM could be a problem too) and most important - there are still presentation to be made and with launch of Nvidia 3000 series seems that intel is selling obsolete motherboards since there is a chance for top (3090 maybe) Nvidia cards to saturate the PCIE-3 in some applications and even if it's minor chance here and there - you're getting this feeling that you're limited by a brand new motherboard made in 2020. Wait for intel new motherboards which i believe will suport PCI-E gen-4 so if you decide to go heavy load - your mobo will suport it. I know most will say you don't need PCI-e 4.0 but, you don't need to pay top dollar for motherboard that don't have it when others do since 2019, so .......... wait few months and than maybe upgrade? Till then - you're fine with your CPU

To be fair i 84c seems decent for the processor that you have. For what i know currently Intel is on the bit of the hot side on their CPU's so seems fine and as i said before ..... Games are not like synthetic benchmark and a recent processor as yours WONT be loaded at 100% all the time, so don't you worry, if gaming is what you're looking for - your CPU will be most likely between 60-75c What cooler do you use, where is mounted and which sides tubes are facing. I would say you should check that video i'm linking now since if your cooling is mounted wrong way maybe ( i say maybe) not all of your cooling liquid is reaching the pump - hence some extra heat on the CPU, not to mention early AIO "retirement".
