Hello I have an RTX 2070 Super FE. I used EVGA Precision X1 to crank the power limit up to 110% and gpu temp limit to 85. Now the highest total GPU power I've ever seen it draw according to HWiNFO is 220 watts. I would expect that since it's a 215W TDP. However last night I cranked up all...

Nah I've heard it will reduce single threaded clocks but boost multi threaded. I'm just going to deal with it as is. I'm not putting a backplate on the computer unless I need to upgrade. Next time I get a computer I'm going to have someone assemble it for me. Honestly I know I get a little...

Yeah I'm not going to undervolt as that will cut single threaded performance. Any other tips? I'm willing to do modded bios, power plans, chipset drivers, etc. Those are all up to date though.

Yeah as long as I can get 205+ single threaded and 1620+ score in cinebench r15 again I'll be happy. I don't want to cut too much performance I want the best multi-core and single threaded I can get because I do a wide variety of things on my desktop.

Yeah it was the new wraith prism cooler i got with the stock paste still on. I have it on the cpu now and it seems to be doing ok. Still not quite what it was on the old cooler prior to me wiping off the stock paste and trying kryonaut (made it worse) and I didn't put it dead center and it's...

Yeah I got another cooler and I'm trying that but I don't think I got it on exactly dead on center so I don't think all the paste is completely covering the cpu ihs. Oh well. I'll still give it a few days to see if that cure time helps.

I've always read that it's actually not a good idea to undervolt ryzen because although it looks like you gain performance but actually lose some. But if not I'd love to undervolt my processor if it meant better performance and lower temps without getting another cooler. I've done that with my...

I have a 3600x with an asus tuf x570 wi fi mobo and a mattrexx 50 case. Anyways I had a spare never used wraith prism cooler with the stock paste still and used that instead of the wraith spire. Temperatures dropped and it was working pretty good. However I had to get into my computer and...

Haven't gotten my new cpu cooler yet but I got the fans. I installed two 140mm fans as exhaust on the top of the case but it didn't make a difference! In fact my cpu is acting just like it did and my gpu is actually idling at 31 to 33 now when it used to idle at 27 to 29. Also I couldn't...

Ok here's what I've ordered.

Yeah I'm going to have to get one with a backplate. Plus it seems like I have no way to open the front of my case so I only have the top and rear exhaust fans. I could probably put two exhaust fans on top or maybe an intake towards the front most part of the top of the case and an exhaust fan...

Pwm fans would work fine on my mobo. I've configured my rear exhaust fan which is a pwm fan. But like I said, get u12s, swap cooler fan and rear exhaust fan, point the fan on the cpu cooler towards rear exhaust fan, get two 140mm case fans, top as exhaust and front as intake?

Hmmm, not too bad. The reason I was only going for two fans is because I thought that was all my mobo could handle. The idea of a "splitter" completely split my mind. For the cpu cooler should I have the fan pointed towards the rear exhaust or the front? I'm thinking rear if the fan is rear...

I lost the original backplate that came with my motherboard is the problem.

Right now I'm looking at getting a third-party am4 backplate from amazon, two 140mm case fans, and a new cpu cooler. I only have $100 for all this. I see that the am4 backplate on amazon doesn't work too well with stock wraith coolers but I'm planning on getting an aftermarket cooler. I got...
