TR 1950X remains at a temperature of 68°C since the first day
i am not an overclocker, i don't have that intention, i never had ... but i bought my first AMD system a couple of weeks ago
( i have built many intel systems in the past without any issues ... )
when i assembled it and turned it on, i noticed excessive fan activity from the enermax liqtech 360 radiator fans (it has three fans)
so i looked into cpu temperatures via bios, ryzen master and core-temp and found 65C° to 68C° cpu temp while doing nothing
if i run a small test with cinebench, i get poor results in multithreading and the multiplier drops from x37 to 10 or even lower (i think that's throttling due to temperature)
after reading and trying various things i don't know what to do next
system setup:
x399 aorus extreme
amd ryzen tr 1950x
geforce rtx 2080 aorus extreme
3 x m.2 ssds samsung 970 evo 1tb
4 x 16gb corsair vengeance ddr-4 2666
enermax liqtech 360 tr4 ii
I realize this reply came late, but I think there isn't enough detail about the Enermax TR4 coolers if they're still being purchased. I began with a Liqtech 240 in my Threadripper 1950x setup and noticed temperature performance dropping significantly, leading to throttling at 10% loads. After some investigation, I found it seems like a buildup in the liquid might be clogging the heat sink.
I reached out to Enermax and they promptly sent me a replacement Liqtech II, but after just a few months it again began showing similar performance issues, especially under light loads. This led to overheating.
I’ve given up on...

I’ve stopped considering Enermax entirely and switched to a Noctuau NH-U14S TR4-SP3, which I’m very satisfied with. For about half the price, I’m achieving comparable results. Even when new out of the box, reaching 4.0GHz was difficult with Enermax. With the Noctuau, I can comfortably overclock to 3.9GHz.
I recommend the original poster consider returning the Enermax and using an air cooler if possible.
