That definitely changes when you have a well vented case. 3700x +stock prism + Meshify C with 2x 140mm fan ($10): 39C idle, 55C gaming, 72C stress testing.

I set the case fans to go based on system temp so they ramp up slowly in gaming, but that took some trial and error in the bios.

Sorry, 72C under load while playing some games. Not extreme benchmarks, just normal game playing. Stock Wraith cooler on slightly OC'ed Ryzen 1700.

That's not bad honestly, but changing your fan profile to cool the CPU should help

Mine runs way hotter - 3900x + DH15 + Meshify C with 4 case fans. Gonna have to check my fan curves now...

I tried setting the chassi fans to monitor the CPU and it lowered the CPU temp quite a bit, 3080 still sits at 73-74C. It does make the fans rev up a bit more though.

I setup some custom fan stuff, not too much different than it was already at. Will have to stress it later to see though.

My r5 3600 will hit high 70's and push 80 under benchmarking on the stock cooler. NR600 Cooler Master case, idle at 35c. It's pretty quiet actually. It sits on my desk arms reach away from my ear. After I benchmarked it I took it off and put a better cooler that I had already ordered. Of course my case stays really cool cause I'm not putting much heat into the case currently GPU wise.

My 3700 is the same. Yours has 4 more cores, though. 71 stress, 60 handbrake. 2x 140mm. It's an ugly case though. I got it for ease of use. HUGE, easy to work on. Cool and quiet. Stress testing just gives off a low whoosh. I have it just below ear level to my right.

I have the Define R5 case from Fractal, and stock it comes with a 140mm fan on the front and back. I replaced both of those with Noctua fans and added a fan in the front. So 2 fans pulling air in, 1 exhausting out the back. Will be home this weekend, and will change my fan profile in BIOS to use the CPU temps instead of "mainboard". Excited to see if I can get the temps down and cause less strain on the system overall.

I had to re-paste that stock cooler when replacing a broken bracket, used Arctic Grizzly. Supposed to be pretty good stuff, could be helping temps.

I changed my fan setup a bit. Not really much change except they ramp up and down a bit more. Might be better to keep mine constant

Regarding AMD CPU temps... you cannot really make indirect comparisons anymore since motherboards do too many different things today and the way the CPUs boost. My "stock" 3950x in a Crosshair VIII Formula hit 100C with a D15 unning p95 under linux using the mobo's auto settings for voltage and PBO. Conversely, I can set the Vcore to the stock 1.1v and max around 65c at 3.5GHz all core (ie. official stock behavior). I've got it running at 4.0GHz all core @82C and about 4.4 GHz single core @68C.

Also, if you are looking at a NH-D15 get a D15S instead and add a secondary fan. The D15s' offset is just so much better for clearance of the first/top PCIe slot.

Posted in the laser thread, but just finished the distro plate design for my Cerberus X.

My new 3700X system arrived. Runs nice and quiet. One thing I didn't realise about current gen PCs is how many coloured lights they have inside. CPU fan, ram, fix card all cycling coloured light patterns. Something for my dog to enjoy when he's keeping me company while I work.

By choice I don't buy many rgb products. It can get gaudy quick

It's under my desk so I can only see it when I'm entering the room. My labrador who snoozes at/on my feet can see it though!

Dunno why but i love the design on the FEs this time around, im almost tempted to SLI 3090s and see how far they can push a G9.

SLI is garbage

Your money though
