Wow I haven't been reading this thread ever since I got my AMD5600x plus 3070. Not sure what's the big hoo ha here.

For me I haven't encounter anything nasty with 5600x yet... touchwood. Previously I was an Intel user. First time AMD. That being said I don't overclock and hardly play games. In fact my PC is less than 50 degrees most of the time and my 3070 fans hardly spin. So far no issue with AMD yet. Those random reboots or hanging I think is more on Windows? At least I don't encounter constant reboot.

I just hope my 5600x last, I did get a good cooler and thermal paste for it.

is it just me or local retaillers are selling motherboards at 30-50USD markup as well?

MSI Tomahawk B550 at RM800, but newegg sell USD150....
if convert, should be 600+ only

SG was never cheap... it was cheap last time many many years ago because 1sgd = RM2.3 ...  now not anymore. Everything is significantly more expensive in SG, even for thumbdrives, sd cards, mouse and keyboards.

Like my mouse is RM240(79sgd) converted but in malaysia, it's only RM189.

Did some tuning on my rig. CPU can fall below 40C on idle now.

can advise where should I start tweaking with? currently my 5800x with custom waterloop dual 360 rads idle at 50C+

buy from brick and mortar shop always never cheap because their rental is absurdly high, they still have supporter from local.
Good thing is easy RMA, that's all, sometimes they do give discount if you buy in store, and give you advice if you're clueless.

Carousell pc part buyer usually only for those who know what they wants, but RMA is pain in the butt lol

The first thing you should do is check the power plan you're using, AMD chipset driver install 2 additional powerplan that boost responsiveness at the cost of your power bill
Set it to balanced mode first before fiddle with BIOS.

My exhaust fan is using Noctua NF-A14 ippc3000. Running at 2000rpm. This casing surprisingly can dampen the noise. I also used external sound card now.

Uninstall rubbish apps like Corsair iCUE. Yes, some apps keeps your CPU from going idle.

already on Balanced, before changing to Balanced can idle 70C to 80C 
using Unifans set to 1500rpm
tried with 2000rpm but only reduce like 5C, not worth the typhoon noise 

using MSI mobo but didnt install Dragon Center

just closing chrome(facebook & LYN only) and Messenger app, reduced a lot

At Advanced Power Settings, under Processor Power Management, check if System Cooling Policy is set to Active. Will slightly help to reduce the temperature.
If don't want the fans to ramp up and down too much, set smaller difference of fans speed between the temperature. Mine if not mistaken is set to 20% increase from 40c till 60c.

Even just idling my Chrome still take 3 to 4 % CPU processing. Sometimes spike to 5%.

You can try this power plan as well. It makes turbo less aggressive.

In your balanced power plan, what % is your min proc state? Try putting 99% heard it works better.
