    Build: 3970x, dual 2080ti, 8TB m.2 RAID = Render Monster

    i think i tried that, too... you have to uninstall, then install again... but i'm quite sure it did not work... what worked was to revert the changes i made in the bios. but would be kind of odd, if ryzen master breaks on every bios change by the way would your recommend the amd chipset...

    Build: 3970x, dual 2080ti, 8TB m.2 RAID = Render Monster

    by the way... i get an error when opening ryzen master app now very often "Ryzen Master unable to initialize." i think it happens if i change anything with my bios.. like change fan curves for example does anybody know how to get rid of that? ps. if you google you just get "reinstall chipset...

    mikeo : thanks for your update... i guess the water cooling catches all those small peaks, that make fans go up and down all the time but how is it about noise/loudness in the long run under sustained load (ie 30mins of rendering) at the moment i took another direction... i m throttling the...

    Threadripper 3990X Feb 7th

    be sure to count in a custom waterloop for the 3990x ... aircooling will not be possible with acceptable temps/noise this adds up another $1000 to the price but hey this is still way cheaper than a mac pro 2019 .-) also upgrading a 3970 system to a 3990 later will probably need a change of...

    Build: 3970x, dual 2080ti, 8TB m.2 RAID = Render Monster

    here some noctua fans received and with the first setup my 3970x is not cooler but louder ! ouch .-) i get the feeling that a custom watercooling is mandatory to run a 3970x with acceptable noise :-/ mikeo: did you get your parts ? it would be nice if you could report your experience and...

    Build: 3970x, dual 2080ti, 8TB m.2 RAID = Render Monster

    tx for this... ! my thought was actually to maybe have it right next/behind the workstation and that the big surface with steady running slow and silent fans would be quieter than case internal radiators/fans. (with a more limited surface)

    Build: 3970x, dual 2080ti, 8TB m.2 RAID = Render Monster

    ok tx, i give it a longer try when i got my fans. but just out of interest... would you say custom watercooling with a big external radiator (ie. 9x9) is a good way to get a (very) silent system?

    Build: 3970x, dual 2080ti, 8TB m.2 RAID = Render Monster

    ... to me the test behaviour was a bit strange... it buildt up till ±80C and then after ca 10mins suddenly raised to ±90C for 1-2 minutes and then fell back to 80C again and stayed there for the next 20mins without any change ... cinema4d doesnt raise the temps that much, but i already ordered...

    thesmokingman : just ran prime95 twice now (blend test) for about 20-30mins and i got a phase (maybe 3-4min) it peaked at 92C, but mostly it was under 80C. all just stock here, asus zenith extreme 2, 3970x, noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3 standard, mounted with conductonaut. only two 120 case fans...

    Build: 3970x, dual 2080ti, 8TB m.2 RAID = Render Monster

    hm, i doubt that davinci uses more resources than cinema4d, at least not in that amount. to me that looks like another problem...

    Build: 3970x, dual 2080ti, 8TB m.2 RAID = Render Monster

    maybe with prime but with real world usage (in my case rendering in cinema4d) the noctua does fine (if you dont overclock). i managed already to bring it down to 72/73C max by repositioning fans and i will replace them with more and better ones the next days.

    AMD Threadripper 3970X temps

    're those temps with overclocking or stock? with the noctua cooler, even with my not so well cooled case i get constant 76C with 40mins of rendering with improved airflow it would be even better... (today i noticed that opening the case gets me 5C down, lol)
