I think I have enough cooling...

[nayman898]

I am running an AMD Ryzen 5 2600x on an ASUS Crosshair VI Extreme X370 motherboard with a EKWB Monoblock, 16GB 3200MHz Corsair RAM, a Vega 64 reference board with an EKWB block, 1 double wide 360mm Thermaltake radiator, a 360mm EKWB SE radiator, a 460mm EKWB SE radiator, fluid being pumped by an EKWB D5 pump/res combo. The softlines are leftover from the variations that have lead to the collection of this many radiators, not the cleanest in that sense, and could benefit from some angled adapters, but I am seeing phenomenal temps. I am sure that there is a limit, and I have passed that in terms of actual cooling potential. However I am seeing temps roughly 3-4C cooler on the GPU, and 7-10C cooler on the CPU sitting at about 33C under load on the GPU and about 65C on the CPU with the CPU OC'd to 4GHz all cores. Also drawing about 500-520w on heavy games, read through a UPS the system is hooked up to, about 100w on idle.

I do plan on upgrading the MB and getting a more basic CPU block instead of monoblock. My MB doesn't support aRGB so I don't have control over all of the RGB components, and I want to upgrade to 5th gen ryzen from 2nd gen. My X370 doesn't support 5th gen...

EDIT:

Woah boy, I have to make an update... I do not have the Crosshair VII x470, I have the Corsshair VI x370.. That was my own confusion

I haven't looked it up in a long time, and it appears you may be correct... I was likely basing my info off of the below mentioned "original report"

Update Oct 14th: ASUS has reached out to us and said that "ASUS will provide updated BIOS' for the X470 and B450 chipsets based on AMD's current release schedule of new AGESA code in January 2021. This original report was based on incorrect information." This means that the customer support case contained wrong information, and ASUS is going to support 5000 series Ryzen CPUs on 400 series chipsets. Please note that the information below is incorrect.

It supports Zen 3 with a BIOS update.

It's also right in your quote.

So I was incorrect about my board, which explains why I thought/knew that it didn't support new gen. I actually have the Crosshair VI Hero x370 board

X370 don't support 5XXX as of now but they are plans to make it happen. I'd would hold back board swap until the last second.
