New build of Ryzen 7 3800X. Monitoring temperature and clock speeds.
Hi All, A long time lurker and I finally had my dream machine built 3 days ago. I have to apologize in advance if this has been in the discussion previously. Tried searching and found inconclusive information. My parts are as follows: 1. Ryzen 7 3800x 2. HyperX Predator 16GB x 2 kit at 3200mhz CL16 on XMP profile 1 @ 3200mhz CL16 3. MSI Carbon X570 Wifi Pro (i know not the best but we are running out of computer parts here in Malaysia) 4. 1TB Aorus NVMe Gen 4 5. 1TB Kingston a400 Sata drive for Steam games 6. Aorus P850watt Gold PSU 7. ROG Strix 2080ti @ stock 8. NZXT H510i with those LEDs and some device at the back maybe for powering the strips. 2x 120mm fan (top and rear case) for exhaust 9. Cooler Master Mirage 240L AiO. pump connected to CPU_Pump and the fans are connected to CPU_Fan headers respectively. Both running at all default setting in PWM mode. Radiator is front mounted with the 2 included fans installed in pull-through the radiator configuration. I have updated the motherboard to the latest beta BIOS version as posted on MSI support page. Prior to doing that, could not even get the system to POST while on XMP. My questions as follow: 1. Currently on stock/default setting for the CPU, i can only get 4.4GHz single core and 4.150GHz all core boost while running Cinebench R20. Ryzen Master shows idle temp at 38C while load temp at 78C with the AIO. Peak voltage at 1.35V. is this okay? On my old i5 9400f, highest i hit was 71C with Hyper 212 Evo cooler. 2. For the first time in 20 years, I tried overclocking. in BIOS i changed multiplier to 43. Boot fine with XMP and hold 4.3GHz all core. However, temps hit 95C while running Cinebench R20. is there something wrong with my AiO? Thanks in advance for your input.
“Binned” 3800x might not be adequately binned. A paste problem could also be a factor, though unlikely. 4.3 might exceed your chip’s limits. New chips struggle to remove heat from the CPU as quickly as they draw it in. A better paste could assist. I’m curious if top-tier bins are being reserved for 3800xt models now. Pro Carbon is often criticized for weaker VRM performance—ensure sufficient airflow around it.
Thanks for the update. I've reinstalled the AI O with Arctic MX4 thermal paste and managed to lower the temperature by about 2°C. Might just be a minor fluctuation.
2c isn’t much. About what might be expected going from low to mid tier thermal paste. Implies paste isn’t the issue.
After more testing, gaming, and video rendering, I realized my setup is functioning properly. The highest CPU temperature during Adobe Premiere was 78°C, and in RDR2 it reached 1080P on Ultra with peaks between 56 to 59°C. It seems everything is working as expected.
These temperatures are above average. They're actually quite favorable.
