Hello, me again. Seem to have a new question for every component!
I've now got
MSI x470 Gaming Plus Max
Pure Rock Slim
Ryzen 5 3600
Corsair CX750M, the green one, yes I've read all the horror stories but it's been OK so far!
Crucial P1 M.2
Corsair LPX 8gb x 2
I've got really interested in all of this tweaking stuff since my second ever build (this most recent one) but I don't have any urge to overclock to the max. Here are a couple of questions I'm hoping people can answer.
1) Noticed upon swapping my A320 to this X470 mobo on first few boots, Ryzen Master showed idle temperatures on the CPU at around 60C. This was 10-15 degrees higher than previously. It's now settled to about 45 degrees when idle after a few days without having changed any BIOS settings. Would this be to do with thermal paste "setting in"?
2) I've got no complaints with any area of the system. All is working A-OK and was from first boot. What I'd quite like to do is optimise performance and temperature by tweaking a few of the automatic settings in the mobo BIOS (or Ryzen Master if people suggest this). As I said - no complaints - just want to cool the CPU as much as possible and keep as much performance as possible. But I have no desire or need to get <Mod Edit> speeds. Experimenting with CPU core voltage offset, I've found for my particular CPU I can take it down -0.0875V in the BIOS before any notable performance drop and this seems to...maybe...drop the temp by about 5 degrees. Can anybody recommend further simple tweaks, Cool N Quiet etc?
I kind of know what I'm doing but feel free to treat me like a novice! Interested in all suggestions.
Ta.
P.S. Apologies if "set and forget" offended anyone
