our local sellers really reaping alot from us ya. stock + shipping + tax still cheaper than wut they sell wth

anyone checked out HK sellers?
recently i bought a 18TB hdd still cheaper than amazon

when will Zen4 cpu availble in malaysia?

gotten an Ryzen 9 5900X "free"
so building my 2nd rig with leftover parts from previous upgrade

Mobo: ASRock Steel Legend B450
Case: NZXT 510
Cooler: AMD Stock Wraith Prism

The case and mobo was from my old 3700X rig, it run fine without any excessive heat issue, but with this 5900X combo, even I didn't get thermal throttle, but seeing the temp constantly at 90C ++ at full load at making me uneasy

so I gotten a Scythe Fuma 2 and replace the stock cooler, and temp only dropped to 83C range, still kinda high for me, was hoping to get around 75C range

my other rig running 5950x with Cooler master ML280 AIO, max temp is at 62C at full load

wonder what's wrong here?

5900x need 360mm AIO at least to cooling down

Duplicated

Should be the Bios of that b450 making the cpu boosting too sensitively. AMD and shitty inconsistent bios berpisah tiada.

so mobo could be the culprit then?
but I was farming Raptoreum with CPUminer, hence it's always at 100%

I'll try reapply the TIM tonight, I also suspect could be too little TIM as I was applying just bare minimum, left only a bit of Kyronaut from previous rig

Thermal paste application wont make it 20C difference unless it's a mounting issue.

CPUMiner is trash. Use XMRig instead.

My 5900x and 3900x only hitting 75c max mining RTM, both only equipped with a NH-D15s. Don't even need 360mm AIO.

didn't know XMRig added ghostrider already, seems better than cpuminer, thanks for the headsup!

if your D15 hitting only 75c, meaning something is wrong with mine already, gotta reseat the cooler and reapply the TIM tonight while changing to XMRig

Anyone looking for a downgrade from 5900X to 5800X? I have 5800X and looking for 5900X

FX5900 ok?

Hi. Noticed my Ryzen 7 3700x idle temp is around 60+ and while load is around 70+. Is this normal temp or should I do something to lower it?? Not overclocked and using default cooler.

For a stock cooler those temps are normal.

Yes you can always spend for a bigger air cooler, go for AIO or go custom loop. The lower the temps for Zen 2/3, the faster it performs.

What about changing thermal paste after 4 years already now. Would that give me any significant decreases in temperature?

Yes, absolutely change the thermal paste if you're going to change the cooler. It's conventional wisdom not to re-use thermal paste.

EDIT-
I suggest to use thermal paste that are not susceptible to "pump-out" effect, so higher viscosity paste like Gelid GC-Extreme instead of the typical low viscosity Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut.

What if I don't plan on changing the cooler? Is it still advisable to change thermal paste or just leave it alone?

Generally it is wise to change thermal paste after 1 or 2 years of usage. Thermal paste may have been "pumped out" towards the edges of the CPU IHS, leaving not very much in the middle which is where the chiplet and IOD is.

Gotcha, only thing is that putting on the default was so hard and I was so scared breaking the lever that I have been putting off applying that new thermal paste
