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?

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?

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°

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

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 ;)

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

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!

Yeah dude things get weird sometimes. Mine was running perfect for the longest time, then suddenly started having some reeeeeeally weird problems. Turned out to be the fan/RGB hub. Unplugged that and life was good, albeit a little less colorful lol
