I'm running with a 5700xt. Didnt realise I was being bottlenecks a lot by my CPU. Getting way better frame rates now. It's my only upgrade before I get an AM5 board, probably when the next chipset comes out. I'm happy with the performance I've got for now. Many thanks again.

Okay, my bad. 🤦‍♂️just spent a couple hours taking things apart. So there was another 3pin connecter at the end of the cable down where the ARGB is and I completely mistook it for a VDG connector and cable tied it up, as the other 2 ARGB cables have VDG's on them. Was not clear in the...

Nope, it's just louder. For some reason it shut off at 72c this time.

Smart control, PWM. 100% at 70c. Can't see anything in the mobo manual about amperage for fan headers. There is a sata connector with the AIO, but there's nothing in the instructions about using it. I think it's just in case you need to use it.

They're definitely 4 pin PWM. I've tried CPU and PUMP headers, both have the same results.

I go pea size, and I've never had an issue before. Plus, this is good paste. (Mx6)

As stated, gamemax ice chill 240. Its odd. The metal fittings are super hot but the pipes aren't even warm. It's blowing cold air. But I can feel the water pumping, and I've already RMA'd one so I doubt that's the issue. Yep, perfect even spread. Almost forgot to take the plastic off, but I...

Top mounted rad, exhaust, pipes to the right.

Already pressed the clear cmos button on the mobo. But i had the initial set up anyway due to detecting a new cpu. Everything in bios is default, but I've reduced clock speed to 2.3ghz and its made no difference to temps. Perhaps a little slower in climb but nothing that matters. Vcore is...

Fractal meshify c. No, unfortunately I sold my old cpu. Poor decision in hindsight. Sorry I'm not sure what you mean. They are a combined cable, I can't split them. The instructions say to plug into the CPU fan header which is what I have done

I've reseated it multiple times and the cpu has full coverage with paste. The tube comes with an indicator on the side to show how much to use, so it's hard to go wrong there. Pump and fans share a header which is plugged into CPU FAN.

Hi all, I recently upgraded my system (MSI X470 Pro Carbon, latest BIOS) from a 2600x to a 5800x, along with an AIO (GameMax Ice Chill 240) My PC temps in BIOS rise to 95c within a few minutes and the system powers off. I've checked the mounting, even RMA'd one AIO but the issue persists. I'm...

It was because I had it set to 3.8 in the BIOS without realising, which auto disables boost within Ryzen Master. However, back to stock and with Precision Boost on or on Auto, nothing changes. Temps are cool but CPU is not boosting, even in single threaded loads

I'm seeing countless issues with this being caused by AMD drivers. Black screen, peripherals die, hard reset. The funny thing is, I had a transfer going on over the network which actually continued, so the system is NOT crashing, I suspect it's something to do with the graphics driver itself. I...

AMD has supported mismatched RAM for a long time but it seems to be more picky. Either way, it worked, 12GB dual channel with no noticeable performance loss.
