Hello,
I have issues with my setup with very high temperatures on a moderate overclock and will appreciate any help.
System setup:
Mobo: Asus Zenith Extreme X399
CPU: AMD Threadripper 1950x
RAM: 8x8 GB G-Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4-3200 CL-14
Video: SLI 2 x NVidia Titan X (Pascal)
LAN: Using the 10G ROG card included
Audio: Creative Sound Blaster Z
Main Storage: 2x1 TB Samsung PM961 NVMe in RAID 0 (bootable)
Additional Storage: 2x4 TB Seagate in RAID 1
BIOS: 0801
CPU Cooler: AIO Enermax Liqtech 360 TR4, rated 500W, full coverage
PSU: Corsair HX1200i
Case: Phanteks Enthoo Luxe Tempered - 2x140mm intake fans in front, 1x140mm exhaust at back, 3x120mm AIO exhaust fans on top + 1x140mm.
BIOS Settings:
RAM Speed: 3066
RAM Voltage: 1.36 V
RAM Timings: 16 16 16 36
CPU Multiplier: x39
CPU Clock: 3900 MHz
CPU Voltage: 1.325 V
LLC: Level 1
SOC Voltage: Auto
Now I'm running AIDA64 system stability test as I found it generates most heat and finds instability issues faster. The problem I face is I get quite high temperatures. I see no one else reporting such issues even when using higher voltage and clocks, and my cooling shall be more than adequate. I already tried to reapply the paste.
My PSU reports, that when CPU is fully loaded the whole system uses about 400W and 150W when idle. I assume the CPU consumes around 250-300W in total.
Now the temperatures I get with the latest version of HWiNFO and are also reported by Ryzen Master and the Live Dash display are about 81-82 degrees C which seems too much for me. Ambient temperature is 23C.
Not sure what's the issue here. Is it possible this to be related because of too much PCIe lanes used? Is the CPU consuming too much power for that voltage? Anything you see wrong with my cooling? Really I'm totally lost.
Final note. There is a strange option in the BIOS named "Overclocking Enhancement". Found no info about what it actually do, but when enabled the temperatures reported are dropping significantly. Now the issue with that is that I'm afraid those could be fake and that's because at idle temps reported are under ambient - 8-16 degrees C. That means if temperatures are wrongly reported my AIO fans will spin slower and I may melt the board/CPU.
