My RMA-return 3700X just came in today.... hmmm i was thinking of reselling or should i keep ?

How long did it take? Was thinking of RMAing my 3600, since it's slightly unstable at XMP speeds like DDR4 3600. I need to downclock to 3200 to get it totally stable. Lowered voltages and still not helping much.

Probably not a motherboard or RAM problem, since I've already swapped them out.

I'm pretty sure that is not valid grounds for RMA when Intel explicitly says stability at advertised XMP speeds is not guaranteed, let alone OCed above XMP.

But good luck on the RMA anyway.

Yeah. Agree.

Just want to check with the experts here. Seem like my cpu 3600 is boosting all the way making the fan ramp up and down constantly while idling. I read that it's the power management thinking that monitoring software is workload for me I think it's due to icue software. Do you guys have any workaround this?

I had this issue and set my case fan temp inputs to adhere to VRM temps as opposed to CPU. With Ryzen and the wildly fluctuating temps with huge jumps of 10s to 20s degrees, this change was necessary for me. Else the fans will go turbo every now and then. This is even without any resident apps running.

Undervolt to bring it lower haha.

Ur spare CPU can use for a new rig for dedicated prawnhub.com viewing.

CPU Ratio i set to 42 while Voltage i set to Offset + Auto. The temps is stable and cinebench i got close to 5000 points which is expected for 3800XT. For single core, i got around 510. While running, the cpu die doesnt go beyond 70degC, which i was quite happy. I think i will leave it this way, got my sweet spot already

I got the approval by AMD to send it to them on 12 Aug, i went to buy a smartpac from singpost and post it out on 14 Aug, 17 Aug received email that it had received, 19 Aug received another email that it had shipped out replacement. Received it yesterday evening. So the whole process takes around 2 weeks.



My replacement came from HK though based on the tracking

Just got a 3900XT with x570 aorus elite. No OC, my idle temp ranges between 54-65deg.... yes pc idling but the temp (Coretemp) keep jumping. Hit 84 when playing Uncharted waters online (2tabs)

Is the temp too high? Using Cryorig H7 Plus with 2 fans push-pull.

Sounds a bit too toasty to me when gaming although some people say its still ok under 90. Can you update your profile so we can understand what your currently running and maybe post a few pictures

sounds hot to me. My badly mounted DRP4 was getting high 40s to 50s idle with spikes anyway between +10-20C from that. It wasnt uncommon to see spikes to 60ishC.

I got rid of that, changed to a 360CLC and it lowered my idle temps by a good margin. Currently idling at 39.5-41.5C in a warm room with no circulation and a fan blowing. Windows are closed.

Ambient - typical Singaporean ambient!

Oh my specs:
3900XT + X570 Aorus Elite (Bios F20)
2 x 16gb 3600mhz Corsair LPX Vengence
MSI RX580
FD Define 7
Cryorig H7 Plus (Push-Pull)
Thermal Paste - MX4


Hmmm maybe i shld retighten the heatsink like as per Antiloop suggestion. Too long nvr install this kind of big heatsink (prev 1700 use stock).

This type of case does not have the greatest airflow so if it was me I would go with an AIO where I'm doing all I can to push the hot air out on the RAD!

From what I can see,.. to do air cooling the best kind of cases is the fully mesh front like the Lancool II to mount 3x intake fans on the front,..

Looking forward to this,

If the performance improvement is legit, then its a great late cycle boost.
