First time builder, starting with AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, decided on HYTE Y60, now choosing motherboard.

Thanks to everyone who helped me build this system (better to say it late than never). I now get why ppl go through the trouble of building a PC gaming system. It's been working very well over the last several weeks, except for one minor issue that I will fix. In periods of intense Cyberpunk 2077 gaming, the CPU temperature does go up quite a bit. I've experienced internet disconnections a handful of times (I'm just going to guess that these 2 things are related w/o proof b/c I never observed the two at the same time). I think what I'm going to do is add some very good fans on the top part of the case and hope that that makes the difference and maybe see about fan or CPU pump settings.

P.S. I hope I'm right to assume that in the winter the whole CPU temperature thing becomes less of an issue.

They'll likely be unrelated
If you can post the complete specs of the finished system that will help

There are some combinations of ram speed/infinity fabric speed/BIOS settings that can cause USB and PCI-E dropouts that could cause the network issues, and there are also simply bad wifi and ethernet adaptors out there with known fixes.
As an example, some 2.5Gbe adaptors have dropouts issues from realtek and intel, and the fix is as simple as manually locking the speed to 2.5 or 1Gbe.

Also some have reported unchecking the box that enables the network device to save power has helped as well if you have one of those problematic NIC's.

Those issues were caused by AMD's exceedingly high quality AGESA code rather than any combination of RAM/FCLK, though. I was hit pretty badly by the USB/PCIe issue.

It's supposed to be fixed by now, though. Needs AGESA 1.2.0.5 or newer. There's so many problems with these CPUs that are caused by AGESA I can't wait for the open source replacement they've promised us.

With a touch of luck it's just the usual i225-V nonsense

Specs.

Hows the Temps ?. Did you tighten the cpu cooler until the screws are fully "bottomed out" or just a tad ?.

 

[WowRly]

It's been a while since I put the CPU cooler in but I'm pretty sure the screws are tight enough, although I'll keep that in mind next time I open up my system. I only tested the temps like 2 times. One time was around 80 C, although it might have kept climbing had I continued. The other time, it didn't go past 75 C even after several hours.

 

[Eskimonster]

Cheers, it seems so alarming that your temps flew through the roof in bios. I hope your solve your problem soon. Specially with that 65w TDP 3700x

As someone who can reproduce it on 3 boards and 4 CPUs, nope - the "agesa code' people bitch about is that AMD raised the default SoC voltage in some of the udpates.
when those updates eventually rolled out to older boards with the 5000 and then 5800x3d support, RAM support drastically changed


I've got an x370 with a 3700x (1400, 1700 and 2700x and 5800x also all tested in this board) and the biggest change from oldest to newest BIOS is that SoC voltage was boosted under all circumstances, XMP on or off.

Launch bioses were stuck at 2400MT/s for four ranks and 2667 with two ranks, yet the same RAM i've had since day one now runs 3133 just fine on that same board
(3200 is bugged on that specific board as a gigabyte issue, with a 5000 series CPU it can run 3667 stable)


The earliest issues people had were exacerbated by companies like corsair with their shitty 'revision' system with people buying kits of RAM that turned out to be nothing alike, and the same RAM worked on intel because their cheap boards were locked to 2133 so they never had issues (And the Z boards would run a higher SA voltage than the B/H boards, helping on the intel side)
Z170 was my last intel system because of that bullshit with the RAM, intel just locked their ram speeds behind a paywall

I bought the Uni Fan P28 (3 x 120 mm) and added them on top of my Y60 case (they fit perfect!). Anyone know where to plug these in? I got them plugged in the AIO_PUMP connectors because that was the one that was available (top right) and I read somewhere that they can be plugged in there. But when I turn the computer on, the Uni Fan P28 fans are the only ones not rotating.

 

[Lost_Troll]

You need to go into the BIOS and edit the fan settings and unset the default for the AIO_PUMP from pump mode to FAN PWM mode, then re-setup your fan profile if it seems that they are running too fast and loud.

 

[WowRly]

I

I'm not sure how to do that. Change AIO_PUMP Speed to Ignore?

 

[Lost_Troll]

By the manual, you want to hit F6 QFan control for setting it up there.

My problem is that the fans (AIO_PUMP) don't seem to be detected:

As opposed to some of the others:

 

[Lost_Troll]

See how DC is black and the PWM is grayed out? Click on PWM to high light it black and click apply and see if it recognizes that the fans are connected.

 

[WowRly]

Before doing that, I ended up unplugging the fans from AIP_PUMP on the motherboard and into CHA_FAN2. Now they are spinning, but are pretty loud. I don't mind that they are loud as long as they don't die on me. Edit. I also tightened the CPU Pump a little bit, it seemed that it was not fully tightened from before. Edit. I adjusted the fan speed in BIOS. I think I should be good now.

 

[Mussels]

You need to change between 3 and 4 pin in that fan control setting depending on whatever the fans use, and set a fan curve to control the noise


You had DC (3 pin) on every header but the AIO and CPU ones, which is 'better' depends on things you haven't told or shown us - you cant have multiple fans on one header without something to split them and many of those devices only work with one signal type, not both

 

[WowRly]

The temperature is staying below 70C with the Uni Fan P28s. If anyone is looking for great performance fans these seem to be it. Maybe after many hours it will go 1 or 2 degrees above the 70C. That's not bad at all, I would think. The internet disconnections don't seem to be related to the CPU temperature b/c they happen even with <70C temps. It isn't a big deal b/c I don't game online all too much. It's anecdotal but it seems that when the actual room temperature itself gets high, that's when the disconnections sometimes happen.

Sometimes they can be, as an example I had issues with RAM stability only when the CPU was above 75c, but below that it was fine. It was extremely rare situations the CPU spiked above that, when that issue could pop up.
You really need to fill your system specs in your profile as i've got no idea what you're running now, SoC/infinity fabric dropouts can disconnect the ethernet controller from the PC, but so can known issues with some 2.5Gbe adaptors
