I haven't built a PC since the 3770k was released.
I just finished building a new computer with a ryzen 9 3950x and a Kraken X72. I was having a heck of a time trying to figure out why my computer had an maximum frequency of 3.8 GHz, assuming it was something in the bios. It ended up being the AMD Ryzen Master software that put the limit in place (now at 4.5 GHz maximum). I ran it both trying both the Game Mode - Precision Boost Overdrive and Game Mode - Auto Overclocking; however, I'm seeing idle temps of 160F and maximum temps of 215F+.
Did I install the Kraken wrong? Should I really be seeing these kinds of temps? I have everything inside the NZXT H710i with 3 fans in the front, the radiator mounted at the top, and 1 fan in the back. I'm wondering if the thermal paste that came preinstalled on the Kraken is garbage or if the pump isn't making good contact with the processor.
