can do benchmark and share here?
cinebench etc. with temperature.

I have a feeling that the 5800X is the bad bin while the 5700 is the good bin in this case

more or less same clock speed, lower TDP even though it comes with IGP, 100USD cheaper (or rather what the 5800X should have costed )

After countless tries and tests, 5 small dots seems to work best.

Mine..lol

Tribute to The Verge guy?

Thermal paste so cheap

Btw gonna try out brand new Arctic MX-5 soon when the parcel arrived.

Lol I just do this.

The chiplets are under the Ryzen and the IO is under the serials. Just do a H spread and call it a day. Did this on a 3900x, did the same on a 5900x. Tried with D15s, tried with asetek AIOs, tried with EK blocks, they've always produced the best results.

Temps has never been an issue on my system.

And also to sai, please revert BIOS back to 3401. Latest BIOS has a nasty bug, been reported numerous times on OCN.

Omg, hardcore!!!

On a more serious note, won't the excess paste spill over to the motherboard?

lol am I the only guy spreading his paste in a very thin layer manually before slapping the block on?! or do you all have extremely convex or concave heatspreaders?

to thankyou what board is exactly being used? do you have to option to OC your ram in the BIOS and which options are available?
This is where you should be able to extract most performance.
Other than this you could check if curve overclocking is available as well, this would be a little interesting as well.

No it won't, viscosity of this thermal paste abit high, and also this is before i spread them evenly.

I'm using this.


They are not cheap. Gotta stingy a bit.

I used to.. now lazy liao especially since temp difference is close to negligible especially with 5 small dots method.

Anyways I use MX4 and they seem to squish very evenly

I'm using thermal grizzly kryonaut as well, but the new MX-5 so cheap, 8g less than MYR50

Okay, will run Cinebench tonight with everything stock. Will feedback the score and temp. Anything you would like to know feel free to ask... Will answer if it's within my knowledge...

The board seems to be HP branded B550... It's pretty much locked down... You can do RAM OC via OMEN software (I'll share screenshot later).... and I read on reddit, anther possibility through Ryzen master? I'm not sure haven't downloaded...

BIOS also seems pretty much locked down... I will share CPU-Z screenshot later...

There's also no way to use "non-HP" branded RAM or else, it will run at default clock speed @ 2400MHz. Wanted to upgrade RAM to 32GB... so I guess I'll have to either find the HP part or forget about the upgrade...

Please find a snapshot of the motherboard and RAM.

welcome to buy OEM PC due to scalper season crowd

Yeah, will continue to use for a year at least.... worst case will upgrade/swap out the Proc/GC/PSU(800W Gold) for newer build later on...

Really cannot accept the RAM part... I needed > 16GB for VM purposes...

my 2500K sandy bridge still working.
got 16GB DDR3

Same, uncle also still has 3570K ivy bridge (delidded, no liquid metal) OC to max 4.5Ghz all cores + 2 sticks of 8GB (16GB total) DDR3 9-9-9-27 1600Mhz.

The darn Meltdown mitigation sure hurts the performance since our ancient CPUs don't support PCID (process-context identifiers).

Useful info right there. Pretty sad that you can't utilize the strong IF on the 5700G
So for those who are out for an Cezanne they rather wait till Retail stocks arrives in just about less than 2 months time.

revert to 3401 no longer hit 90C during steam/origin download.
thanks alot to all sifu that gave advice as well. now i really need to open up as temp is not to my liking or ryzen 5900X is just that hot/warm even under water 70C+ is a norm??
