Completed Lian-Li PC-011 Air (RGB) Something old - Something new

[sswilson]

Noctuas on the CPU (whatever the standard MSI bios profile is), system 1 is a 3 pack of the aforementioned TL-C12-S up top as exhaust (no issues with the sound profile at sub 1000 RPM), and system 3 is 3X MLs up front (intake).

Reran Ryzen Master to get the curve offsets under air (they were different than what I had on the overkill loop) and entered into bios.

That is so much cooler than I am getting on mine under load. I tried Ryzen Master with my setup, looking for an undervolt, but neither per core nor all core Curve Optimizer was able to get me something stable. So if I want to get something working I guess I would have to not go the "easy button" route.

DA:V actually punches my CPU up to 85-86 C fairly quickly, and that rightly so runs all my fans louder than I'd like. @Bond007 suggested a while ago I actually try removing my front top exhaust as it could be pulling cool front air out before my CPU cooler gets to pull it through. Interesting idea I thought. I have yet to try that because it means pulling things apart to get to my fan controller.

Anyway, not meaning to hijack your thread (more than a little ) -- just wanted to say those are enviable temps! I suppose that heat sink too is just doing better than my smaller Noctua, but I'm guessing that isn't the only answer. Your voltages are likely better than mine.

Under water Ryzen master spit out mostly -30 with one or two -25. On air it was mostly -25 with one or two -18.

Strange that Ryzen master wouldn't run stable for you.... did you disable any auto-boost/OC features of the board? (IIRC even PBO should be disabled in bios prior to running Ryzen Master).

As far as the temps go.... yeah pretty happy with those temps under air. I was getting similar temps prior to running Ryzen Master (and locking in the - offsets), but I don't believe it was hitting the same boost clocks, and cinebench scores were lower.

Oh... I ran Ryzen Master with the RAM overclock, ASUS' AMD equivalent of XMP, enabled. Maybe that was the issue. I thought that on would be better since I intend to run the CPU with that enabled.

The most stable I got was -16 on the all cores setting. That seemed good for a while, and then it started rebooting just sitting on the desktop, essentially idle. However, I didn't enter anything in the BIOS. I thought Ryzen Master was handling that when you hit Apply and it reboots the PC.

I really haven't done enough research even though I've read (skimmed) your guys' threads on here. I wasn't actually trying it then so the info when in and out again!
