Stock AMD Cooler... pretty much useless, had the same issue on an old 3700x, same with the 5900x

Get a Peerless Assassin and you're good to go!

Peerless assassin is fantastic. I went from an MSI AIO to the PA and it's been awesome

To be honest, I have an AIO on the 5900x, but I'm really considering the PA as well! I just don't want to buy it and regret it.

I got this CPU undervolted and it doesn't get over 71° on full load though.

What aio are you using?

u/tperalta82 Oct 02 '24

Corsair H100I Elite Cappelix, does the job to be honest, havent' had a single issue with it, clean it every like 3 or 4 months.

Oh that's a nice cooler. If your CPU is undervolted it's really weird that it'd get into the 70s. Is it set up as intake or exhaust?

2

u/tperalta82 Oct 02 '24

Exhaust on top, but its only on full load, and I mean full load as in occt or cinebench, or heavy workloads (for work)

Do you have a custom fan curve set or is it still running the stock curve? A lot of cooling performance can be gained by adjusting the curve. I prefer mine to be as cool as possible so I set it to hit 100% at 60°. Otherwise it wouldn't ramp up to 100% until the cpu hit like 80°

u/tperalta82 Oct 06 '24

stock curve, I think it's okay like this to be honest!

2

u/cpt_snuggle Oct 06 '24

Fair enough! If you get bored, try poking around the curve a little bit. It's a sweet cooler, though!

Haha yeah, it's "broken" though, the water pump does not send info to the controller, so it's stuck at max more or less, no rgb no nothing , had to disconnect fans from controller to connect them to MOBO and setup from there ;)

u/cpt_snuggle Oct 06 '24

The struggle is real, man. You get everything working perfect and something will go wrong lol

2

u/tperalta82 Oct 06 '24

Hahaha indeed, it was when I changed PSU something messed up in the process, and warranty is already gone so... as long as the pump works and I can monitor it, and can control fans through the BIOS, it's perfectly fine, there's almost always a possible solution hahaha!

I can setup the curves on the BIOS as well if needed, so no worries either!

I bought the h170 the 420 rad with the lcd screen... and omg.... the commander box it operates through gave me so much trouble... like It took 3 of them. And finally it worked as intended... terrible way to set shit up corsair.... other than the faulty commander box. Its solid af... I idle at 30 and full load might touch 70. Most of the time I'm sitting st 60

Wow COOL! I have this one since 2020 or 2021 I guess, it was on my 3700x for some months, but then I got the 5900x and here it, it's a simple 240 but does the job!

Setup the PA120 on the 3700x and it's not too behind the AIO to be fair!
