It's not crucial to provide a recent example, as Optimum has already demonstrated this with their 5090 and 9800x3D builds. At full load, the 5090 experienced significant heat, though airflow and temperature had minimal effect. The custom 3D print solution he used showed only slight differences in performance.
Alright, I switched the bottom fans to intake and see if it helps. If not, I'll try repasting and then consider the PC position as the problem if needed.
Here’s a revised version of your update:
I’ve changed the bottom fans to intake, which has helped reduce temperatures by roughly 5 to 7 degrees, sometimes even up to 10°C. However, I’ve observed that my performance on Cinebench R24 is still around 850, which is lower than other Ryzen 7700X models. I attempted to enable XMP for my RAM (Kingston KF560C30BBK2-64, 6000MT/s), but it actually hurt my speed. The CPU ran at a steady 4.3GHz across all cores, but dropped to as low as 1.6GHz in certain moments, averaging around 3.8GHz. This resulted in a drop of points, from 840 to below the typical stock level of about 700. I’m wondering what might be causing this. I’m currently using negative CO offset at -20mV with the built-in motherboard/AMD profile. Could adding XMP alongside higher RAM capacity be too much for my IMC? It also seems to affect thermal performance, which is surprising since my GPU runs cool during testing. In the Cinebench test, it stayed between 52-56°C, with a brief spike at 64.
Seems a bit unusual—consider testing a custom RAM overclock around 5600CL32 to check for instability. Also, observe how changing the clock speed control affects performance.
I'm concerned about modifying RAM myself, especially since I just enabled XMP settings. My main worry is voltage stability—any mistake could damage my system. I plan to adjust the clock speed but am cautious about lowering it too much, as the BIOS shows only a few safe options (like -30 or -40). I previously used a custom OC setup after watching a YouTube tutorial, but it seemed less reliable than the default. I might try setting it to -30CO, though I was told that tried with that setting received a NoPost response.
