I recently put together a AIO water cooled build using the following:
R7 1700
Gigabyte AB350M-DS3H
Cooler Master Masterliquid Lite 120 (AIO)
I am overclocking the R7 1700 to 3.8 Ghz. The Gigabyte board despite its misleading name is actually a X370 board, but only lets set +/- voltage to DVID core (so dynamic voltages).
In any case I got stable setup with +0.096v at 3.8 Ghz. The issue is with the VRM MOS temps. I got a 80 mm blowing on the VRM.
I am running Prime 95. If I do the standard blend test, the VRM MOS reported by HW monitor ver 1.35 (https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html)
as well as Gigabyte SIV (hardware monitoring info) both reports about 79C in this scenario. The CPU temp itself gets to about 65C. Which seems just fine.
However if I have Prime95 do the small FFTs test (stress out that AVX crap), then VRM spikes all the way up to 107C but the CPU is only reporting 75C.
Most will say 107C is too high correct? But does the small FFTs really count? I do not dare overclock any higher because it seems this might be a limit.
Any one have any comments or suggestions? Advice?
