Cooling

Gonna get air conditioning installed in my study next month. Got a quote for £2k, just need to decide if it's worth spending an extra £2.5k to also get an indoor unit in the bedroom too.

>not having a glorious ceiling-fan that makes your room of choice an ice-cave

Why the fuck why the actual mother fuck do people do this.

If you are spending the money for a threadripper platform spend the money for a proper cooling solution. You must MUST have 90% IHS coverage or greater this small ass c circular cold plate aios CANNOT handle this cpu..

Use Enermax liqtech 240 280 or 360 or EK custom loop. Or use noctua tr4 edition with two fans and high pressure case fans up front to feed it.
Either any of these or do a custom loop and use the EK block that covers everything.

Fuck. It's like you fuckers like being retarded you spend that much and a cpu and then don't even ever come close to using the capability you paid for. It's astounding.

This. Some people on Jow Forums sometimes reveal some staggering stupidity that easily rivals any other board.

More often than you think

thank god i live in austria and have a nicely built house where the indoor temps are not affected by outside temperature

>what do you use and why?

Which reminds me that I should clean the filters before I need it in summer. Also turned out it uses WAY less energy than I thought it would, after reaching the set temperature it only sips 10W maintaining it, almost a quarter of the standing fan I had before it.

>mfw I have free solar energy in my home and I don't have to worry about power consumption

>£2k
Jesus fuck user, is your study the size of a football field? I paid 400€ for mine and the tools to install it. It's not too hard to do it even, if the tubing between the compressor and the indoor unit isn't too long (anything less than 3 meters really) you don't even need a vacuum pump to bleed it.

>regular desktop stuff
X5670 with some Enermax tower cooler on it with a different fan, stock speed. Something like mid-30s idle, around 50-something at full load.
>gay men
i5-6600k at 4.2, GTX 680. (Yeah, I fell for the waiting meme) Roughly the same temps. Has a Noctua tower cooler on it.

I like heat better than cold so I'll shut the door to my computer room and let the PCs heat it to the upper 30s (~100F). I don't mind it being cold outside in winter, but I do mind it being cold inside. I fucking hate having to wear two pairs of socks and two+ pairs of sweatpants and still being uncomfortable in my own room because my mouse-hand is freezing.

After an hour of stress testing while it was 30° in my room it got up to 60°. Under normal load (like compiling) it doesn't get over 50°. Under no circumstances can I hear my fans over the sound of my HDDs so even during stress testing in summer I can't hear my fans at all.

It is, 4.5MHz at something like 1.325V. Barely any difference in temps 2bh, slightly hotter while in load.

>load temps?
Rarely approaching 70°C unless I stress test. I've never, ever been in the 80+°C.

FWIW my case is a Define R4 with the stock fans. It's pretty silent, and the dust filters keep the case mostly clean. That said, my room is warmer than other rooms in my house. I should open the window and door more often though.

Good grief. GHz of course.

Probably could bump the Oc up, but the extra 0.1 doesn’t seem worth it.
letting the house warm up to 31c doesn’t seem to alter performance too much.

I don't understand when people talk about overheating in summer.
I use this baby for years, it's much older than my current CPU, and my temps are always good.

Well it runs surprisingly cool. I though tit would ramp up like crazy after OC'ing. I didn't go further with the OC because I'm already somewhat high on tension.

you have to be really fucking retarded to actually kill a cpu

Unbranded cheap split units can be £400 or so but this is for a Mitsubishi or Daikin model with a 7 year warranty. I do agree that £2k including install is a lot, it shouldn't take that long to install it considering the indoor unit would only be maybe 4m above the outdoor one.

That was on the old setup the new one is push pull fans and more CFM so I'm curious to see what it will do when I come home in a few days

He was a teenager, so... yeah.

6700k at 1.37v 4.6, it's under an app so it shouldn't be too bad

At 3.4 I've had it down to 17*C idle

The CPU literally came with a bracket for that specific cooler you brainlets. And how do you explain the fact it has no issues keeping it cool? If it was truly inadequate, wouldn't it be throttling, and overheating? Here you are pretending to be smart, yet you'll never get far enough in life to afford a badass CPU like this,

I'll probably delid it a few years down the line

i have a surface pro 3 i3. it gets up to like 118-120F at the most with the fan blasting, is that hot? It'll sometimes get that hot while streaming twitch 1080p60 while browsing for like 6+ houts at a time, am i going to fuck my shit up or is that OK?

think about how protein-rich whatever the mushrooms are growing in had to be for them to be able to grow such large bodies. that didn't come from the air

6300, undervolted, passive cooled, don't remember the temps but ~10C below TjMax iirc

Hyper 212x. Everything over that is waste of money.

You have truly never overclocked then. Its a good budget cooler but that's it.

Currently i7 6700k @4.5 1.280Vcore with a Cooler Master Master Liquid 240 Lite RGB 30-38C Idle /60-65C normal usage /80C under 100% load.
At first i was a bit mad cause my fx8320e @4.8Ghz 1.440Vcore never went above 70C at full load, but Intel is an entirely different beast and on most forums people say those are perfectly fine temps for an i7 6700k...

>1.28v
bullshit

works fine with the stock cooler. 28c isnt really that high.

GPU block fits the Gigabyte G1 1070/80/ti so I can upgrade down the line.
Orignally had a GTX 590 with a 1055T in the loop, might upgrade down the line but ATM I don't see the need.

Oh and the cooler name is CR-95C

1.345Vcore sorry man i got my numbers mixed up, my i5 6600k did got there with 1.280

>is it overclocked, if so how high and what heat differences do you run into?
Performance enhancer 3, aka aggressive turboing, up to 4.1 on all cores and 4.35 on lightly threaded applications.
>idle temps?
30-40c? I don't think AMD temp sensors are calibrated at the low end and the number fluctuates a lot.
>load temps?
70-80c, really depends on the workload due to the dynamic turboing.

Is your room 17c? Didn't think so.

Jesus fuck user, you must have put more money and time in your cooling than your entire fucking system.

Intel is the Lord of Flames. Dancing on the peak of 80 with an overclocked CPU is completely acceptable. I was blown away when I moved to Intel and spent a day afraid to turn my computer on, thinking my cooler had malfunctioned.

Then I read online that most Intel processors hang around that altitude when OC'ed, and they're fine with it. Really weird transition though.

The X versions of Ryzen cpus have a 10° offset so mobo auto oc features don't decide to ruin it. You'll have to check if the software you're using to check the temps corrects the temperture or not.

However the design is really interresting. Ryzen cpus have almost 1000 sensors on board. These are used to measure voltage and temps about everywhere on the die. These sensors are also making decisions on how to use XFR. For example if 1 core is a bit too hot to boost it could decide to just boost another core instead since that core might be inside the acceptable temperature range. Also these sensors measure thousands of times a second and when your load increases for maybe less then a millisecond XFR can still boost the loaded core for just that millisecond so it's extremely quick to react compared to earlier boost technologies.

I really like the design and engineering that went into the power management of the Zen arch. It's miles ahead of the competition. There were some interesting reads about the power management in some Raven Ridge articles. You might like those.

50-60c, highest during prime95 was something like 70c with above overclock

about 20c ambient in both cases

Well it's not like I know what monitoring software adjusts the readings for the Ryzen 2 temp offset. I just now the Linux kernel does it which is all I need.

My 2700X only ever reached 60° after an hour of stress testing with an ambient temp of 30°. Yours seems to be getting pretty hot if the offset has been adjusted for.

I too was afraid my AIO was DOA but nope totally fine temps, i am considering delidding at this point.

Can't be bothered with that. Especially with anything ryzen where an OC pretty much perform the same as stock. It's not like the olden days anymore where you'd buy a cheap 300 MHz Celeron, and run it at 450 MHz.

>idle temps?
Don't care. Doesn't matter.

>load temps?
See idle temps. Set the fan curves to ramp up by a lot before the max recommended by AMD. Fans are usually very quiet, and I can hear them ramp up a bit when I compile software. It doesn't throttle or misbehave in any way.

I believe people are hysterical about temperatures.

so if I wanted to do a completely silent setup I'd probably just drill a hole through the wall and put the pc in the next room
