I fought with Ryzen temps at LOT in the past year. Started with a 2700X, moved into a 3900X while waiting for my current 3950X.
Damn Phenom Black edition 9850 infected me! What can I say, I am a core whore. :D

Previous X470 bios I had to scale back from my 100/100 habit. Even with 100% cores running 50% cycles I was up in the 70c+ with 240mm AIO water cooler.
After the latest bios update I found the "ECO" mode switch, which takes the 3950X rated watts of 105 down to 65 yet does not slow BOINC/WCG.
Currently back running 100% cores 90% cycles and my system tCTL temps are steady at 50c

Happy crunching!

Was going from the 3900X to the 3950X a worthy step up

As I said, I am in pursuit of cores and threads above all else. So, yes. The performance is definitely a big step up.

Not interested in junking my AM4 and investing in Threadripper.

This doesn't help me at all hearing about how good the 3950X is when I bought the 3900X as a bit of a stop gap :laugh: :cry:

@phill ... Read something about the AM4 motherboard memory slot configurations. Two engineering options, it seems: daisychain, and T-something.
The first likes two memory sticks, and the second likes four. So it is motherboard architecture dependent. Did you get your RAM answer? (Guess I will go back to the beginning and read the thread :) )
