Normal Temps while Boincing & Folding

[anjinsanus]

I recently upgraded to a R9 3900X and bought an Alphacool Eisbaer 240 aio. I did get much better thermals than with the stock cooler when doing 22 CPU only tasks, 1 CPU + GPU (1660S) task, and folding with my main GPU (2080ti). 

Depending on the temperature in my home office, which can very wildly, my reported cpu temp in AIDA64 is anywhere between 77 and 85 C. This seems a bit toasty to me. (GPU1 is the 2080ti, GPU2 is the 1660S)

 

Is this an ok temperature for long-term running? When I'm not using my computer (which let's be honest, isn't as much as I would like), I'm running everything flat-out. I plan on this being the long-term situation.

Should I look to improve the case airflow? I'm also looking to water cool my GPU, and my case will support an additional 360mm rad, so I could put 2 rads in the one loop.

In terms of temperature for the CPU that's not horrible. A bit hot but I think it's pretty normal if it's running at 100% Usage for an extended period of time. On that note, I wouldn't advise running 24/7 at such high temps. 

 

What voltages are in the BIOS?

If you need the actual BIOS voltages, I'll have to reboot to get them. It should be whatever the default settings are (MSI B450 Tomahawk).

CPUID is reporting voltages ranging between 1.019 and 1.344 V on the 12 cores. The CPU VCORE is getting between 1.288 and 1.336 V.

That sounds just fine. I think that's what is recommended with the 3900X.

 

 

I would consider just lessening the load on the cpu a little, and hopefully yielding lower temps.

You could also look/alter your cpu fan curve because running the CPU that hot 24/7 might not be the best idea in terms of longevity

I've got the CPU fans set tp be at full speed around 65C, so they're going full out. 

I had considered upgrading from Alphacool's fans to some Noctua NF-F12's for the rad and NF-S12A's for the case. I haven't done it yet in case I get a second rad.
