[SOLVED] TR 1950X stuck at idle temp 68C° since the 1st day

[quadrixx]

i am not an overclocker, i don't have that intention , i never had ...

but i bought my first AMD system a couple of weeks ago
( i have build many intel systems in the past without any problems ... )

since the day i put it together and turned it on inoticed unreasonable fan activity coming from the enermax liqtech 360 radiator fans ( it has 3 fans )

so i checked for CPU temps in bios , ryzen master and core-temp and saw 65C° to 68C° CPU temp while doing nothing ...

if i do a little test with cinebench i get terrible results in multithreading and the multiplier is going down from x37 to 10 or even lower ( i guess that's the throttling because of the temp ? )

after reading and trying loads of stuff i don't know what to do next

system setup :

X399 Aorus Extreme
AMD Ryzen TR 1950X
Geforce RTX 2080 Aorus Extreme
3 x M.2 SSD Samsung 970 EVO 1TB
4 x 16 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR-4 2666
Enermax Liqtech 360 TR4 II

Make sure pump is spinning. Set pump speed to max/turbo in BIOS.

Hey driven hows your system now?
I had Erratic fans on my 2600x at 1 time.
But playing with the software and updates its all good now.
I don't think i can help much on this 1.
May as thread progresses
Good luck

Oops sorry drivin, you posted a question on a cooling i helped on and i thought it was you i helped.

Op have you done any recent windows updates about the same time this began.
Awhile back i had a win update that messed with my drivers for my corsair.

I know this is a little late reply, but I don't think there has been enough information on the Enermax TR4 coolers if people are still buying them. I started with a Liqtech 240 on my threadripper 1950x build and temp performances started to degrade to the point I was getting throttled at 10% loads. After doing research I learned that this was happening to everyone. There are videos online where it appears it may be some kind of build up occurring in the liquid causing the heat sink head to clog up.

I contacted Enermax and the quickly sent me a replacement Liqtech II, but after only a couple months of use it also started to show similar signs of degrading performance. It was resulting in overheating at low loads.

I've given up on Enermax completely and switched to a Noctuau NH-U14S TR4-SP3 and could not be happier with the performance.

For 60% of the cost I'm getting about the same performance. Even new out of box I was hard pressed to get 4.0GHz with the Enermax. With the Noctuau I am comfortably overclocking at 3.9GHz.

I would suggest to the OP to return the Enermax if they still can and get an air cooler.
