Hi, i recently bought Phanteks P400S TG, Cyrorig H7 and Fractal case fans to replace my old CM 690 + Hyper 212 (blocked 1st ram slot, too close to glass panel) and noisy vantec case fans.

The problem now is why my system temps are higher than before. With CM690, CPU idle was about 27-30c, and always under 60c on load (OC). Motherboard temp was never reached 35c. With manual OC 4.5GHz on phanteks, CPU idle reached 40-45, more than 65c on load, and motherboard reached 45c, even my GPU idle is 48c (was 43-45). I already reapplied thermal paste twice with MX4, reassured the Cryorig H7 sit perfectly on CPU.

For case fan, i usually set to 1000-1200rpm which was normal. Same settings applied to fractal fans. with CM690 i use 1 front, 1 bottom, 1 back, 2 on top. And for P400s, 2 front, 1 back, 2 on the top.all with 1000-1200 rpm range, PWM for Cryorig.

The interesting part is, if I set all stock, the temps are similar with old case, and now my temporary solution is to set use turbo core to overclock it, with 4.4G turbo, 4.6GHz max.

ADD : by the end.. If~ using turbo core is the only choice, how much turbo affects performance versus manual 4.5GHz OC?

My setup:
- AMD FX8350 (OC 4.5GHz, 1.46v)
- Corsair 16GB RAM
- MSI 970 Gaming Motherboard
- Palit GTX 1060 6GB Super Jetstream
- Coolermaster 550w 80+

New components:
- Cryorig H7
- Fractal case fans 12cm
- Phanteks P400s TG

Old Components:
- CoolerMaster Hyper 212+
- Vantec Spectrum case fans
- CoolerMaster CM690

tool used : HWMonitor, MSI Afterburner

Please share your thoughts, sorry for my bad english.

thanks.
 
not sure why you want to push the cpu with little higher clock but added voltage, as it wont gain (that) much on gaming that isnt cpu bound
(lower than 1080p).

i would make sure the games are running at 1080p/higher, crank up the driver/in-game settings (dont relay in Nv game profiles),
which will eliminate cpu-bottlenecking (from some exceptions/titles).

i sold my 1070 and use a 560ti temporarily running @720p (card only has 1gb vram), and even with my i7-3770k i cant really prevent bottlenecking.
put all settings to stock (bios) and run a benchmark like 3DMark11 or Unigine Heaven (at 1080p) and establish baseline.
turn on turbo and run benchs again and compare to see if its worth it...
 


Thanks for the reply, yep i tried unigine 4, tomb raider and farcry primal, it gave me an average 5-7 fps increment, and lower the stuttering in some cases.

I never have the problem with my OC before, I'm just curious why. I'll try to swap the fans and report.
 


that is why i chose H7, i don't need anything high end. If 212 doesn't blocked my ram slot i won't change it haha :)

okay i'll swap my case fans with my backup fractal RB airflow fans too and use AMD Overdrive. thanks
