Hi guys since two days I´ve mounted a ryzen threadripper 1920x the problem is that when I did the
benchmark test with Cinebench R15 the diode temperatures (TCTL) touched the 92 - 94 c (program used AIDA64 and Hwinfo). The cooler is a CM Masterliquid 120 lite while for the motherboard I have a x399 MSI gaming pro carbon. Here is a screenshot :

(I also noticed from Ryzen master that the Cpu voltage and the Ghz are constantly changing example : 3.5 changing up to 4 Ghz and the 1.25 voltages coming up to 1.4 v but all by himself
is this normal?)
Anyway, have i to change cooler? Sorry for my ignorance (sometimes the cinebench scores change from 2200 points dropping on the next test to 1900 points could it be thermal throttling?)

Thanks a lot for your help
Peace.

I also add other specs:

PSU: EVGA 750 G2
GPU: nvidia gtx 980 ti
RAM: 8 gb ddr4 2100 Mhz
+ 4 case fans

(sorry for my english btw)

I don't know your specific use for this computer, but you should at least use two...



https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Processors/AMD-Ryzen-Threadripper-1950X-and-1920X-Review/X399-Platform-Socket-Cooling-and-Me

"Tjunction (Tj): the average true temperature at the interface point between the processor die(s) and heatspreader.
Tcontrol (Tctl): an AMD proprietary offset that is designed to govern automatic fan policies. The Tctl offset for the AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ processor is +27°C to Tjunction.
The earliest BIOS’ we encountered only reported the Tctl temperature to us which idles at around 55C. Taking into account the offset, our CPU was running at around 28C at idle state – more in line with expectations. AMD recommends using HWiNFO v5.55-3210 (or later) for temperature monitoring as it has built in support to compensate for the offset for Threadripper."

120 AIO for a 12 core chip and 8 Gb ram, not the best thought out build.

Full specs please.
 


Dear biglizard thank you for the reply,

so if i understand this right 92 TCTL are actually ok.

My full specs are:

CPU : Amd ryzen threadripper 1920x
MB : MSI X399 Gaming Pro Carbon AC AMD X399 So.TR4 Quad Channel DDR4 ATX Retail
RAM: 8GB (1x 8192MB) G.Skill Value DDR4-2400 DIMM CL15-15-15-35 Single
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite 120 Komplett-Wasserkühlung
GPU : Nvidia gtx 980ti
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2
Case: Sharkoon TG5 with 4 Fan
1 SSD and 2 HDD

(sometimes i even experience some small freeze moment in game like not even 1 second but are visible btw i know threadripper isn't for gaming but i've experienced it in other programs too.)
 


AMD states a max temp of 68c (you are right on the edge) https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-threadripper-1920x

Get one of their recommended coolers OR better! https://www.amd.com/en/thermal-solutions-threadripper


 


thank you for the answer and i have a last question, some people say that i have to change the ram too and the say that's why i'm getting some freezing moments (lower than 1 sec) right know as stated above i've a RAM: 8GB (1x 8192MB) G.Skill Value DDR4-2400 DIMM CL15-15-15-35 Single

They say that i have to buy at least 32 gb for using quad channel do you have some advice on what to buy outside the cooler.

 


I don't know your specific use for this computer, but you should at least use two sticks/dual channel.

Threadripper is a hedt chip ment for professional/prosumer work loads. You should look up what the ram specifications are for the programs you are using. But yes if I where going to build a threadripper comp the minimum I would have bought would have been 32GB in 2x16GB(dual channel)sticks in a matched kit. I also would have bought a min 3200mhz speed Ram.

Here is ram qvl for your board, https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/X399-GAMING-PRO-CARBON-AC.html#support-mem.

I would cross reference your choice from this list with the ram manufacturers qvl list and then look for any problems on forums such as Toms for that specific configuration. Before you buy.

You probably should ask the guys over here, as they are actually building comps with these chips
