anyone used asus ai suite tpu to OC

.. When i oc my 3900x to 4.3 ghz automatically and when cine bench

My wholecom restarts and ask me to press f1 to bios

you using air cooler no need to overclock to be honest

the CPU will boost when it needs to

overclock overheads for zen2 are very very small.

you will only see a single digit percentage gain in benchmarks only with no real difference in gaming.

Never really trust auto OC or whatever gimmick, yes, it allow you to boot into window with the higher clock speed but getting 24/7 stability definitely need one to have the knowledge to tinker with the Bios setting manually.

I pretty much left my 3900X at stock as well. First time I got a Ryzen chip that I did not overclock. I think the auto OC by AMD is optimized enough to deliver high performance, without me tinkering with it. As to getting a better cooler, it is always better because it should give it more legroom to auto boost. Another motherboard may not be necessary though.

Guys, i've disabled pbo and set vcore voltage to auto.

Funny thing is i run cinebench the voltage becomes 1.3v but when semi idling its 1.4v.

And my fan is ramping up and down on semi idle.

That's not true. :o

But nowadays, I just buy hardware to try out. Nothing like a dream rig le. They just look and feel the same after a day or 2.

I echo this... It's also the joy of building a PC.. I used the splurged a lot on desktop setups some years back, even submit to vloggers to showcase..just for fun and kicks.

Your temperatures doesn't look right for the cooler you're using. Might want to recheck your mounting/change out the thermal paste.

For the fan ramping up and down, it's a known thing. You can fix it by setting a fan curve + delays in your mobo bios if it has the feature.

Prices of MSI's B550 MB are quite close to X570 levels. Might as well go for something like the Asus X570 TUF.

I recently just reseated and remount. initially was 70+ on semi idle.

i used to have that fan ramping up and down at idle

CPU core temp can fluctuate between 40+ and 50+ degrees within 1 second.
i went into bios and only set the fans to run at 40% and only ramp up in speed only above 65 degrees. now no such problem.

here are my ryzen master screenshots at idle and cinebench r20 load for your reference. your voltages are perfectly normal.. i think your cooling solution might be a problem. try repasting and remounting the cooler with optimum pressure.

hope i can help you solve at least your fan ramping up and down problem for now.

Your temps are closer to what someone using the stock AMD Prism cooler would have though. R1 is in the top-end for air coolers. Should be getting much better temps. Something's not right somewhere. Did you replace the thermal paste when you re-seated it?

Nitrile's readings are more in-line with expectations.

Yes using mx4 paste.
