i get the occasional wrong clocks reported with HW monitor, but not with HWINFO.

yeah this board seems to draw a lot of power regardless. I can try going lower, maybe at some other time. What are your ambient temps like?

In that sense I totally agree. I've mentioned that I came from a custom loop and sometimes I get the "well your CPU didn't need it, my super duper 12GHz 14900K could never get cooled with an AIO" answers. So I thought you were trying to point out that my CPU didn't really need it so I wouldn't...

I realize a custom loop wasn't needed for my CPU/GPU, but I'm just trying to point out that AIO's have matured enough that unless you really need a custom loop, you can stick with one. Heck, tons of air coolers can even cool my CPU. But some are stuck in the past when AIO's were questionable...

This. Have one and don't regret one bit. I came from a heck of a custom loop BTW.

are you sure it was 98ºc though? It would throttle before that. Regardless of a port or not shouldn't get that high.

firing up some games now to test, will let you all know how it goes. Well, just gamed for about 3 hours and so far so good. Guess I'll continue to keep an eye on it for the next few days and see.

I'm looking forward to the new gen intel stuff, and also the next gen Ryzen X3D chips. Can't wait to see what kind of performance uplift each side brings

crap I totally missed that he said 98 degrees, Yeah, no reason for it to go that high unless there is an issue with the cooler, etc.

did a brief stress test, did some CB runs so far so good. But when I head off to bed in a few I'll leave it testing over night to be sure.

I think you meant to say latest BIOS 1905. Actually, just checked and a new BIOS just released on 4/18 BIOS 2007. Either way, my fans run at 900RPM fixed, regardless of temp. Gaming the game that uses my CPU the most is The Last of Us Part 1 and I see about 65-68ºc package temps. RDR2 for...

Much better. I changed: SOC: DEFAULT 1.243 to now 1.050v VDDG: DEFAULT 1.100 TO now 0.850v VDDP: DEFAULT was auto, don't recall how much but now set to 0.800v Now getting idle temp in the high 30's low 40's while typing this and streaming hockey, still ambient temp of 25-26ºc depends if A/C...

So did some diggin' and manually set some voltages in the BIOS. Bit lower board draw on idle and temps much lower. 26ºc ambient and not entirely idle CPU is low 40's.

This is after the change. it is what it is.

indeed. Default ASUS was 1.243v, I set it manually to 1.2v and stress testing now while I type this. So far so good. So I wanted to see what kind of voltages I got during a stress test. Anything here you guys spot I should try and set manually that may be too high? This was taken after the...
