    Definitive guide to configuring the Ryzen 3900X/3950X and all other 3000 Series CPUs

    I hadn't heard of that, even though I was convinced that I had installed the latest version of the Internet onto my PC :giggle: Cheers, I will give it a try, even though it would take all the fun out of the masochism and ruin the challenge.

    Definitive guide to configuring the Ryzen 3900X/3950X and all other 3000 Series CPUs

    The method I have outlined is valid for ALL Ryzen 3000 series CPUs so that would be the 3600, 3600X, 3700X, 3800X, 3900X and the 3950X. The main problem is that left to itself the system will put too much voltage into the CPU for a poor result. When conducting the tests with my 3600X I was...

    Definitive guide to configuring the Ryzen 3900X/3950X and all other 3000 Series CPUs

    The XMP profile is for your RAM and I have found, with my motherboard (GigaByte X570 AURUS XTREME) that activating the XMP profile causes me problems when I want to configure the system properly. The problem with leaving the system on stock as you suggest puts too much voltage into the CPU and...

    Definitive guide to configuring the Ryzen 3900X/3950X and all other 3000 Series CPUs

    In the following I will be giving you a step-by-step guide to configuring your Ryzen 3000 series CPU. This is based on the BIOS in my GigaByte X570 AURUS XTREME board, but the few values that you need to change can be found in the other BIOS's from ASRock, ASUS or MSI. The following is the...

    Definitive guide to configuring the Ryzen 3900X/3950X and all other 3000 Series CPUs

    In the months that have passed since I started experimenting with the Ryzen 5 3600X on my X470 motherboard (GigaByte X470 AURUS Gaming 7 WiFi Rev. 1.1 and then helping my friend configure his Ryzen 3900X on his motherboard (ASUS X570 ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (WiFi). I bought the X570 motherboard...

    Pump noise issue

    As I stated in an earlier post, I bought the cooler from AquaTuning. The problem is, that if I open the cooler to try to fix it myself then I void the warranty. I live in the UK. I really don't think there is any other choice other than to RMA the product.

    Pump noise issue

    This is what it sounds like and I think anyone hearing it will agree with me speaking in the audio clip that the sound is not tolerable It would not accept the ending ".wma" so I renamed it to "alphacool Eisbaer.txt". To make it audible, just change the name back again to "alphacool...

    Pump noise issue

    The thing is, with a Ryzen 3000 series CPU you are fighting for every degree Celsius of cooling because the hotspot (in the case of the 3950X hotspots) of the chiplet(s) being off centre. So the business part of the cooler, namely where the heat exchange fins are in the water-block, only half...

    Pump noise issue

    I have that exact same rattling noise coming from the pump and it is worrisome. The pump was absolutely silent until last week and I was hoping that the noise would just sort itself out. It hasn't. When I got the Eisbaer 360 LT I spent the whole day (as in 24 hours) trying to get any air out...

    Cooling an AMD Ryzen R9 3950X - question/suggestion and configuration guide

    Having spoken to a number of people and also having to explain my reasoning to them, has made it possible for me to simplify my explanation of what I am doing with my 3950X and above all else, why. 1) I use the BIOS to configure those aspects which affect the motherboard. This would be the...

    Cooling an AMD Ryzen R9 3950X - question/suggestion and configuration guide

    Below I will be posting a short guide on how to configure the 3950X (and basically any Ryzen 3000 Series CPU and I have tested it out on a R5 3600X as well) but my question is with regard to the AlphaCool Eisbaer LT360 and the Eisbaer 360. With the Ryzen 3000 series of CPUs AMD introduced a...
