Had recently some temp issues with my Ryzen, and after couple days I did realize with @MazeFrame’s help, that the pump had died!
Tried some case shaking, tilting, moving radiator from top to down which made it even worse
But then fixed it by door knocking that pump, and in fact had already forgotten that I should change it
What I think has happened is colder days, and when leaving home I just dont leave windows open, and it has not happened since
i have the 2600X on water with the rx 580 on a single loop with a single 240mm rad, my idle temps are around 40C on a 30C day ( in australia) in another 3 months we will find out if the cooling is enough or if i need another rad. but the CPU idle is 40C GPU is around 30C under load i get highs of 70C on CPu and 50C on the GPU (thats the air idle temp)
By any chance, have you tried running with the stock cooler? If it runs cooler with the stock HSF than there may be an issue with your CLC. Though the rad itself is small, it should still be enough for that 2600X unless you’re overlocking the shit out of it.
I’m running BIOS version 4.70, which is the latest.
i also checked the prices on a few lower TDP chips and i managed to get an R7 1700 for a decent price, now that the air temperature has stabilized at 30ºc i can run the tests for a few days and see what will happen, if its better on the temps, i’ll keep it, if its worse, i’ll just return it.
While in the R7 1700 endeavor, i’ll also take the opportunity to check how good the Akasa Nero LX2 is, if its any better or worse than the Wraith Spire.
Yup, 120mm vs the Spire’s 92mm, the heatsink itself is bigger as well and has more copper.
Not only that, but i have the Akasa Piranha fans i was using on the H80i, they are silent and move tons of air, i’m going to use one of those on the heatsink.
Chevy_Monsenhor, usually the concern is misplaced due to the way AMD measures and reports temperature. Please install the latest version of Ryzen Master (RM) and post a screenshot. This will give you the correct temperature to be compared to your specifications:
Enjoy, John.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll take a look.
The local temperatures have lowered considerably since the first day i posted the thread, but it will still give an idea if AIDA64 is showing it correctly or messing up the numbers.
What really concerned me at the time was how hot the bottom of the case and the radiator were, i never seen anything like that before on a non-overclocked chip
Chevy_Monsenhor, I, too, run AIDA64 and agree the temperatures look good. FinalWire has figured out the silly AMD temperature offset, but many free SWs has not and should not be trusted. Testing against RM is a must, in my opinion. Looking at your RM, EDC seems to be a problem. I would suggest you discuss this with your MB vendor. EDC this high will slow your clock just as high temperature. Please us let know what you learn. Thanks and enjoy, John.
Chevy_Monsenhor, that is a really good question, and I was going to suggest when you talk to your vendor, you ask. It stands for Electrical Design Current. I think it is the design limit for the VRM on your CPU VRM. Google knows lots about this and here is one link that looks interesting. I do not have a Threadripper II yet but look forward to how this plays out. Several users on the AMD Processor Forum have reduced the limiting by changing the power plan. Enjoy, John.
