    [SOLVED] AMD 3600 Temperature spikes

    Hello. I have a Asus B450 Tuf Pro MB, 32g ram , Win10 with a Thermaltake Contac Silent 12 cooler with a 2nd fan (push pull). When I monitor idle or Prime95 temps with Occt, I get very short lived 10 degree spikes. Is this normal? Everything seems to be working ok. I was using a thermal pad...

    Question Using Ryzen Master

    Hello. Well, I still cannot quite get a handle on two Ryzen Master dials. I have a stock Ryzen 3600 with an Asus B450 MB, 32g ram and Win10 64-bit. Right after starting Prime95 (with defaults) both PPT and EDC hit the red line in the dials. After a few minutes with the temp very good, PPT...

    Question Performance Difference in coolers

    Would I expect much cooling difference between a Cooler Master RR-212S over a Thermaltake Contac Silent 12? I have the Thermaltake installed now however I have to chance to try a Cooler Master. Its pain to remove and install a new one. If its a little better performing then it is worth it. Its...

    Question CPU (EDC) goes yellow right away

    I was all wrapped up in heat and I forgot about cpuz. It reports bios version 1804. Well if it not a thermal situation how do I get this lower?I do not game overclock or do anything heavy graphics, just email, surf and manage family photo's. It could hit 90-100 and I'd never know if I do not...

    Question CPU (EDC) goes yellow right away

    Well with Heavy Load at 100% of cpu only the EDC dial goes to 88% and stays there. Just to give me some comfort, would a better cooler(be quiet! BK2009 or Noctua NH-U12S) and thermal paste help that number. thanks

    Question CPU (EDC) goes yellow right away

    As hard as I try, I leave out the obvious. The MB is brand new, I'd have to reboot to get the bios version. All I can dig up from Windows 10 is that the SMBIOS is 2.8 7/29/19. The cpu is not overclocked. Everything is stock Windows, nothing fancy at all. I used Innovation Graphics thermal pad...
