Thank you.

Given all the input from you guys...I'm going with the 5700x. Reliability is very important to me particularly now that I'm going to be buried in a major project. It's the only computer in the house and I certainly wont have 10 hours to spend debugging a problem. Or a few days in the shop. Plus the LAST thing I need is to have all the contracts and personal info unsupervised in someone's hands.

I'm also going with the GSkill Ripjaw 16mbx2 3200 CL16. One store clerk said go with 4x8mb but then ANOTHER clerk said go with the 2x16mb because windows rarely taps all four sticks. Sure, give someone with a bit of an obsessive personality multiple choice solutions....

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO CONTRIBUTED in helping me make a decision. As usual, asking informed people with a keen interest in the subject beats parts jockey EVERY TIME!

clerk 2 is talking out his rear end about 2 x16. that only opens you to some of the bandwidth the processor has to offer.

having all 4 slots full is better as it gives you maximum bandwidth this is better for compression.
better for cad as well i find.

so 4 sticks of 8gb ddr4 3200 cl 16. should be able to find some corsair ram at that speed fairly cheap as quad sticks,

dunno what to tell you mine would shut off system would become unresponsive are you running all cores to the max ? and locked.

did you run several stress tests to make sure its stable.

what voltages where your cpu at.

I found the H115i ELITE CAPELLIX XT at a good price and bought it, but what I have to say is that the fc140 is a very good air cooler and keeps it cool and without much fuss.What motherboard do you have with your processor?
 
Oh sure guys...throw your food around and laugh while I try to take bite as it flies past me...

Can the differences be your cases? I installed a biggish fan just behind the front panel, pushing the air to the case fans to the back and saw a 3 degree drop just at idle. it was always with "do it and forget about it" philosophy that in this instance worked.

With the Thermalright, I will have two fans trying to jam the air out of the back of the case and probably have to retire the extra fan. Even if the case is under the table, I always prefer to go with the smaller case that I can get away with. Of course that is the wrong way to go if one wants to deal with heat and performance.

I can't get my head around water and electronics occupying the same space...

Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 it's very good air cooler for 5700x not for 5900x

Before I posted here, I kind of got that message repeatedly when I read everywhere that the 5900X runs hot.

I bought the Thermalright for $43 Canadian pesos or about $30 USD. It's suppose to be the best cooler for that money. I'm ok with that...and certainly don't want to start a food fight about coolers.

no food fight nessary that cooler will be fine for a 5700x. overkill but fine youll not run into heat issues.

just make sure the ram is lowest profile you can get to avoid ram clearance issues the fan can get in the way at the front but can be adjusted.

im not a fan of water cooled components either which is why i rather drop voltage on my 5900x take a minor performance hit.

cases can make a difference however its very minor my case is quite compact but not cramped.

what pc case do you have ?

It's a case. Made from steel. At $29. it was a steal! 😎

It's just an in-house medium size generic case sold by the local computer chain. It has two fans in the back but nothing pushing air into the case so that is why I installed my own fan to increase air volume. All in all, it's pretty quiet. I have the furnace room under the den and an overhead fan. Either will easily drown out the computer fans if they are running. Over the years, every single system has occupied the same place. It's the quietest system I ever had.

What I'm hoping with the Thermalright is that it is so effective that it allows me to set the fans to a reasonable low volume and of course, as cool as possible.

Funny thing is when I cleaned up the plant, I crushed two large cases that were 15-20 years old. As if age makes a difference to steel.

sounds fine as long as the cooler height doesnt cause issues. temperatures of the room may effect the effectiveness of your fans the air outside of the case needs to be colder then the air inside the pc.

the cpu is quite efficient i predict even in a warm room the cpu shouldnt be going anywhere near 75c. on that cooler. 90c is max temp but you want to be as low as possible.

personally set your fan curve to 30 percent in bios for cpu for 25c ( this will keep the fan constantly running at 30 percent this is better because it wont ramp up as much.) 50 percent at 45c and 75 at 60c and 100 percent at 70c
