Hey, so I have a Ryzen 7 5800x with an 240mm AIO this one “ID-COOLING FROSTFLOW X 240 SNOW CPU”
Now I’ve returned a block cooler because I was worried about the temps being too high. So I got this AIO and again the temps were high so I convinced myself I hadn’t seated it correctly. Taken it off and reseated but still runs hotter than I want or would have thought. Disclaimer I over think and this may be one of those times.
So on boot it can get as high as 85 but mainly between 70-80.
Then sat at idle it’ll be 30-40 then random spikes up to 80.
Opening Visual Studio Professional and ramps up again but settles around 50 when coding.
Minecraft on 12 chunks render with optifine, hits 85 on load the. Hangs around 60 whilst playing.
Same for Factorio. But not tested any other games.
Happy to make some recordings if that would help.
Thanks
When I take the side panel off the temps remained the same.
I have an NZXT H5 Flow case which has one tempered glass side panel.
The setup I had was built in intake at the front bottom of the case and then two more intake 140mm fans on the front. Built in rear exhaust fan and then I had the AIO set to exhaust at the top of the case with its two 120mm fans.
I have now changed to your advice and the AIO has moved to the front as intake and I have the two 140s moved to the top of the case to exhaust.
I don’t understand what’s happening with regards to OC as I don’t want any and my CPU is 3.8ghz but I’m seeing core 0 sometimes others hitting well over 4ghz but nothing in the BIOS indicates OC is enabled nor in armoury crate.
