Advice sought for 3900x build, accepted bios settings and varying highest speed recorded in various monitors

But if I am going to do this than I might as well go for the best performance as I can. After all you can guarantee that cooling demands aren't going to lower with any future CPUs( unless Ryzen 4000 series has something up its sleeve that we know nothing about).

This what EKWB comes up with, at €370

If you can fit a bigger reservoir in that bundle I would, otherwise it looks great.

If you want to run RAID, it is best to use matching drives. While it will likely work, at best you are limited to the slower drive's speed. At worst, it doesn't work or there are issues.


EDIT:

If just for looks, sure. But don't do it for performance reasons.

They do kits as well, which might be the way to go?

No chance of matching drives unless I was able to use an add on m.2 card, which I might be able to do with another riser ribbon.
As the GPU is already vertically mounted, the PCI slots could in theory be used with a riser cable. That is if I don't want to ditch the Intel 660p 2TB

Yes both do, Going to have to look into what clearance I have up top, something that Cooler master aren't That clear about

I think their kits perform well and you can't beat the cost for an open loop anyway.

I've been tempted to pick one up a couple times.

You can always add too them as well which is nice.

Yes that's true, although I'm not to sure how confident I feel about taking the cooler off or the 2070 super

As long as your 2070 is not an nvidia founders edition it shouldn't be too difficult to put a water block on it.

Soon as I get my act together and run it through some tests properly, I'll happily report back

66c during Heaven, 54c in both Timespy and Timespy extreme.
For the record CPU sat at 53c during all three tests

You know that NVMe RAID-0 does not benefit any real life performance other than sequantial reads/writes like moving large amounts of data, right?
At OS boot or at using/launching apps/games make no difference. Same applies for PCI-E Gen4.0 drives.

I seem to have one good chiplet and one Very average (at best) chiplet. As one on chiplet I have peak speeds of between 4.5 - 4.65, yet the other is 4.35 - 4.375
.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if AMD didn't purposely match a decent chiplet up with an average one, hence my good and bad. That would make sense as well though, as then all CPUs' would be roughly the same highs and lows, with the occasional well-matched pair of chiplets, giving you an excellent overall cpu
