For reference the pricing is in AUD.
But yeah they are expensive. It is still kinda worthwhile haha (idk apparently they are insane, I am planning on lubing them)

This one was the best imo.

-10 points for not having a shovel, though.

You're looking at 4.2 all core for the most part. You can't clock 16 cores insanely high without LN2 because the heat density makes it impossible to cool down.

I built a PC in the O-11 Dynamic case and use 8 Noctua fans inside (I can link post if anyone is interested).
 
A buddy of mine reached out to Noctua because I wanted a Noctua case badge, but didn't want to buy an air cooler just for one. Long story short, they sent me the stuff in the below picture.
 
HOW DAMN COOL IS THAT FAN KEYRING!?
 
Noctua. Amazing products by awesome people who care about the people who buy their products.
 
Just wanted to share how damn nice they are and HOW COOL THIS KEYRING IS.

I don't have any build logs for this one. But a sweaty night of building and eagerly awaiting packages from my saved pennies and well... I'm so crazy proud of how this came out I'd love the community's feedback.
 
Ladies and gentlemen, 'The Noctua Build'.
 

 
Featuring:
3 x Nf-a12x25 in the bottom
2 x NF-F12 on the radiator
3 x NF-S12A in the roof
 
The build specs are:
Asus Rog X370-F mobo
Ryzen 7 2700X CPU @ 4.15Ghz on all cores
16GB 3200mhz Corsair Vegence RGB RAM
Gigabyte 2070 Super @ 2100mhz
 
Benchmarks are in my signature.
 
Iniital thermals give me 33-40C on the CPU at idle

       TLDR
______________________________
 
I built a new custom UI on top of OpenHardwareMonitor with additional features, mainly linear fan curves with custom temperature sources.
 
______________________________

     STORY
______________________________
 
As you guys may know, SpeedFan is sadly not updated anymore, so newer boards are not detected properly. 
 
The main feature I used was the custom fan curves with custom temperature sources. I used it to bind my case fans speed to the hottest component of my PC, my GPU. 
(My BIOS only supports CPU temperature as a temperature source for the PWM fans).
 
I searched around for an alternative software with this particular feature and only found a paid option (Angus Monitor).
 
However, I also came around this:

https://github.com/openhardwaremonitor/openhardwaremonitor
https://github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor
 
The first link is an original project which could be downloaded here https://openhardwaremonitor.org/, but just like SpeedFan, the project is not updated anymore.
However, thanks to the code base being open sourced, there are a couple of active branches, LibreHardwareMonitor being the best one I found, supporting my MSI Z390 Edge AC board and being updated regularly.
OpenHardwareMonitor is divided into two parts, an API to interact with your hardware ( CPU, RAM, Fans... ) and a UI. The existing UI is a HWMonitor clone that allows to set a manual fan speed to any fan, but no temperature/speed fan curve here.
( sigh )
 
So I decided to make my own lightweight application with the OpenHardwareMonitorLib API, and here is what I got so far...        
 
Current features:
OTA update Multi-config support with quick-switch from tray icon Dark/light mode + colors Graph fan curves Linear fan curves Flat fan curves Mixed fan curves Sync fan curves Custom name for each fan / curve / control Material UI ( thanks to http://materialdesigninxaml.net/ ) Smooth fan speed transitions Custom temperature source Automatic or manual matching between your controls and fan speeds Activation% (dead zone) for each fan Saves your current configuration and reload it on startup Board support is updated whenever the API gets an update!  
Please note that this is a small personal project. It works great for my needs but I didn't test it on a hundred different motherboards. Take it as it is. If it works on your current setup, well you got your fan control situation sorted at least until you change your motherboard!
 
If you want to help me out a bit or give me feedback, I included some links/button in the left hamburger menu out of the way to send me an email
or to pay me a 🍺 ... or 🍺🍺🍺.
 
I will also keep an eye on this thread to see how it goes.

Oh no, they made a refresh in 2004 I believe. And then they got stuck on it till today. Still 16 years of nothingness. I can't believe people whine over everything but never even make a small squeak over this. I seem to be the only one bitching over dumb archaic NVCP and I always find bunch of people who defend it with "it works" and "must be your system". Yeah, I'm sure all 12 threads, 32GB OF RAM and a bloody fast SSD would disagree with you. NVCP is just slow, full of glitches and annoying behavior and is just straight up terrible.

So I was playing games, put my pc to sleep with games still running and only the screen shuts down, pc fans still spinning and the screen won't go on, doesn't wake up in any way or form. Some suggestions on what to do?
 
I posted it in windows cuz i got the idea the problem is somewhere in there.

It is really hard to speculate given so many different factors that can impact these things. 
Most pricing went up when Covid started as the AUD tanked. The dollar has now got back to pre Covid levels, but it will take a while for that to pass through to us.
I suspect the RTX 3000 series will be at least the same as the RTX 2000 series. 
As with most launches, you'll likely see higher prices initially when demand is high and supply is low. This will then go back down after a few months. 
And nVidia will most likely launch with the highest end SKU's first and the fill out the rest of the product stack gradually.
 
Normally it is a good time to pickup a cheap previous gen card at the time of a new launch. With stock levels so low at the moment though, new cards may disappear pretty quickly as distributors aren't likely sitting on much inventory like they were with the GTX 1000 series when RTX 2000 launched. 
Second hand RTX 2000 cards may be a good option when RTX 3000 series comes out if you are wanting to save a few dollars. There is always a bunch of early adopters looking to flip their previous gen parts. 
 
I would just base your plans off what current models are priced at. Despite the AUD improving, the benefit will probably be negated by launch prices. So around $1000 for a 2070 Super, $1500 for a 2080 Super and around $2250 for a 2080 TI. 
 

Yes, I purchased my Ryzen 5 3600 last week. As for the 1.2V static, I did not hear about that but I've only seen it mentioned in that Reddit post. I did read a post that said people who ran 1.325V experienced degradation and that someone who had read some information on TSMC 7nm node found out that the recommended voltage for that node is 1.3V. But I couldn't find the sources of those statements. 
 
This is what I think:
My Ryzen 3600 can run 4.4Ghz@1.175V or even lower (temperatures around the 60's). For Prime95 small FFTs I need 1.25V. Temperatures can then spike to 96°C(!). I do not think the CPU gets this hot because of bad cooling (I have a NZXT Kraken X62 280mm AIO) but because the 7nm process is so dense that the heat can't travel fast enough through the silicon into the IHS so it doesn't matter how much cooling you have (correct me if I'm wrong). When you run workloads like this at these temperatures, you will definitely degrade your cpu.
 
In AIDA 64 temperatures are around 77°C and for gaming they are somewhere in the high 60's. However I do not plan on running workloads like Prime95 so in this case it seems perfectly fine to run 1.25V if you have enough cooling. This ensures me that my system is stable for my workloads without the degradation and if I ever need the heavier workloads, I know that my system isn't just going to shutdown. I can then adjust the voltage and clock later to lower the temperatures. But I haven't had enough time to descently overclock the cpu so I will definitly try and lower those temperatures and voltages if I can.
 
The easier route would be to try 4.3Ghz and lower the voltage, but to me, that's less fun😜

Then you have a problem somewhere, maybe a faulty mobo, ram or even your OS.
That's not how it works. All your four slots of ram should word, and each slot pair of the same color when populated should act as dual channel.
You need to get the other slots working in order to do anything useful with them, otherwise none of your ideas will be possible. Telling us which error you got would be a nice start.
Nope. It's gone, don't worry about it.

I had the exact same experience yesterday and I didn't understand it at first because other people where pushing 1.35V or more to reach 4.4Ghz. I was at 1.175V and it was still stable so I just didn't go any lower but possebly could.
 
Make sure to run a Prime95 test with the small FFts. The system was stable for hours on a normal stress test but with Prime95 small FFts I had to bump the voltage up to 1.25V.

As @ShrimpBrime said 
Try with AVX2.0

Ok, fair enough. Thanks you probably just saved me a bunch of time and multiple headaches. 

to put it simply 
its not worth it

well if you want try getting your memory to 3600 ( if its a 3200 kit ) or 4000 ( if its a 3600 or a 3800 )
and if that wasnt stable try maybe putting your soc voltage to 1.09 and that could be could 
as i said its nor necessary and i doubt it will work 
if you dont want to its fine as it will be alot of work to make it stable 
btw soc = memory controller basically 

Thanks for the quick reply. 
Do you reckon my chip is comparable to a 3600x? 
I think I still have a bit of Leeway, in the sense, that there is probably some voltage and hardware tweaks I could make that may decrease thermals a decent amount. Do you have any words of wisdom on the matter? haha
 
btw, this is great
