Hello,
I would like to upgrade my CPU. Currently, I have Ryzen 3600 with SilentiumPC Fortis 3 v2. I want to increase performance, but for now, I prefer to stick with AM4. I'm wondering if my cooler will handle the 5800x3d, which seemed to be quite hot in tests. Currently, instead of the stock fan, I have Noctua NF-A15 HS-PWM installed on Fortis, along with 3x SilentiumPC Fluctus 120mm PWM fans on the front of the case and 1 at the back. I have 3 more fans on the way - 1 for the bottom and 2 for the top of the case.
Currently, I usually have 37-38C on the CPU in idle; after a few hours of work, it goes up to 40C. Under light load (e.g., YT), it reaches 55-56C. In stress, it goes up to 70-something. I should add that the radiator is cool to the touch, even under stress. Noctua does a good job of cooling it. I assume the radiator reaches its maximum heat dissipation capacity. This weekend, I will also replace the thermal paste with fresh Grizzly, but I wouldn't expect a significant improvement. Certainly, the small size of the case (Fractal Design Define C) and the RX6800XT, which additionally heats the surroundings (although I haven't noticed any changes in CPU temperature during GPU stress tests), do not help.
I'm afraid that in these conditions, the 5800x3d will boil. I've seen tests on YouTube where the tester pulled out 50C on Ryzen 3600 under stress and over 70C on Ryzen 5800x3d on the same setup. Since I already have over 70C on 3600, I'm scared to think what will happen on 58000x3d... Although it's possible that the tester had different fan curves, and it might not be a disaster for me... That's the thing, I don't know. Has anyone tested Fortis 3 with Ryzen 5800x3d?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions/advice,
J.
