Hi, your 3950x has been running for a while and you've noticed temperature issues. At full auto power it reaches around 85°C, but lowering the voltage to 1.3V in tests like Cine and Blender pushes it up to 100°C. You're using the NZXT H500i with a Noctua DH-D15 cooler and just one fan. I'm trying to figure out how to improve the cooling performance. You've also replaced the thermal paste and mounted it twice, but I'm still looking for a solution.
Remove the front cover and check your temperatures again. It seems your unit isn’t providing enough airflow to maintain proper cooling. The additional fan can still be useful, though it may not fit in your setup.
Check ambient temperatures and consider taking off the side panel to verify readings as mentioned before. If temperatures decrease noticeably, it may indicate poor airflow in the system.
You're asking about the meaning of reducing the voltage to 1.3V, noting that the standard stock voltage is lower.
Yes, the side panel tends to drop a lot; consider upgrading to a sturdier case.
In your bios, you've configured the V-core to 1.3 using the ASUS BIOS setting.
Sure, avoid that approach. Apply a -0.05V negative offset to the Vcore. You might reduce it further, but that's just the initial step. Next, set the auto voltage and run Cinebench R20 to record temperature, Vcore voltage, and CB score. After that, lower the voltage again and verify the results. Aim to keep performance stable while observing thermal improvements.
