Hey Guys,
Just finished setting up my build and very happy with how things turned out. Just concerned about the temperature of the 3970X. I am running a custom loop with an EKWB monoblock. 2x360 Rads ( PE & XE). The GPU isn't under water yet as I wanted to test the system before I took apart the GPU and put on a waterblock.
I'm coming from a X99 and a 6950X based system so I knew temps might be toastier than what I was used to before. What has me concerned is the CCD5 Temp which is quite a few degrees hotter than the other CCDs. Posting temps on idle. Funny enough during heavy CPU usage the temps only go up a few degrees (4-5c) above. But nothing more than 61c during load.
I have D.O.C.P enabled and running memory OC @ 3200MHz. The CPU boost I've observed during load is 4,335 MHz and fluctuates as low a 4,275 MHz.
Was hoping to get some insight whether the rest of you experienced similar temps or is this a paste/seating issue. Thanks once again.
