I'm way late with this question, but can I get some guidance on acceptable Zen 3 temperatures? Is 85C fine? I'm not seeing any throttling, it maintains the 4.45 GHz boost speeds at those temps.

I did a dirt cheap bargain bin build late last year, with a $130 5600G in a 2L Asrock Deskmini X300 case. Here's the kicker: The stock lovely 5600G cooler is too big for the X300 case, so I'm using the cooler that came with the X300, that looks like something out of 1998. I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 on it, and I recall that there may be some positive offset in the numbers reported to lm-sensors and the BIOS, to help get bad fan curves up to speed faster. I'm pretty sure that it must be actual numbers though, because I'm seeing idle temperatures get drat near room temperature, mid 20s and low 30s C. My load temps are 75-85C, where the fan spins up to 100% finally and catches up. I'm looking specifically at "Tctl" temperature.

I have PBO disabled, because when I first used it with PBO default on it was kicking itself up to 85C all the time. I've tried to reduce the PPT to 45W to further reduce temps and noise, but I've seen some users reporting that setting PPT Is broken on this Asrock X300 board, and I don't have a great way to check it from Ubuntu without installing kernel extensions.

Anyway, I'm only asking because I've found myself using this machine differently than I expected, and it's spending a lot of time at 85C. Fine and dandy for a 5600G, or is it time to think about a more aggressive fan curve or finding some way to lower PPT from within the OS?

It's fine for CPU lifespan.

You probably are losing a tiny sliver of performance, but not worth caring about. Hearing damage from the that tiny fan screaming away is maybe the only concern.

The 5600G isn't hitting it's Tjmax, which is 95c, so you do have some headroom and the cooler the system came with is doing it's job.

That said, there are a few things you could try. The Noctua NH-L9i is a low profile cooler that gets great reviews across the board. Combine that with a good thermal paste (like Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut) could drop your temps down 5-10c .

I found a video of the Deskmini X300. It's just this side of a NUC isn't it? Worse case you could try a small desk fan blowing at the side of the computer to add some air-flow, since it looks like the only fan in the thing is on the CPU Cooler.

You might want to try and adjust the fan hysteresis a bit, make the fan ramp up a bit faster to adjust to the temperature swings (should be a setting in the BIOS or even ASRock's software). With the stock fan you will probably get some more noise, with the Noctua you might not even notice.

Victorious, he returned to us, claiming that he had slain the drought where even Orlanth could not. The god-talkers were not sure what to make of this.
So, I ran a test with the new case fans in - peak CPU temps went down from 97° to 92°.

Not being quite satisfied with that, I pulled off the 110R's front panel yesterday to see what that would do.
CPU temps peaked at 80.3° from there on. Well there's your problem...
The panel's staying off for now, when I find the time I'll be taking a jigsaw to it, maybe aim for an insert from thin black fabric. Might be best to just fab a full-size frame around the front face from veneer (to cover and wrap around in thin black fabric).

Arctic Freezers are fine. In the US they're more expensive than other budget solutions, but where you are they might be cheaper -- arctic are based in germany.

Ideally you'd like the 34 or 35, which are 120mm fan size, but tbqh the cheaper ones with 100mm fans would do fine. (A 100mm fan isn't easily replaceable if it dies though.)

Thanks! If the above doesn't ultimately result in something I'm happy with, It'll be Freezer time.

The model that you should have linked is the NH-L9a-AM4, which will just about fit in the a/x300.

Assuming you mean B650, the norm is 6000 and the ceiling for golden Ryzen 7000 samples is 6400. Almost any board can support this, so it's basically down to CPU lottery.

The ASRock B650M-HDV will support at least 6000 according to HUB's review (they didn't test 6400). It's $125 in the US. I'd avoid all the A620 boards, they seem to cut way too many corners to end up at sub-$100 price points.

Thank you to both of you! None of this was a surprise to me, I knew what I was getting into with a setup this tiny. I'm going to make the fan curve a little more aggressive on the stock heatsink, and think about that Noctua if it bothers me.

I'm really happy with this system overall. $600 all in for a 5600G, 64GB DDR4-3200, 2TB Intel NVMe disk. It's only hitting 85C under sustained AVX2 all-core loads, but it turns out that Scikit-Learn scales terribly with threads and this little $130 AMD CPU trains models faster than a 1 generation old 18 core Xeon.

Yeah, I suspect there is little domain knowledge overlap in those two areas. Unless you just happen to have a tiny number of people on staff who are interested in both.

This is already out there for Genoa EPYC though, so it's not being announced as vaporware*. Whoever is working on it, is already working on it.









*Do not misconstrue the factual statement that opensil is not vaporware as a forward-looking statement of belief that AMD's timeline and future goals will come to fruition.

Scuttlebutt is that AGESA 1.0.0.7 fucks with memory speeds, dropping things to DDR5-4400. Not sure if it’s on profiles where things are kinda automagic, or if it overrides entirely manual settings, too. AMD’s ostensibly working on v1.0.0.9.

What's cooking the CPUs, as I understand it, is that the VDDCR_SOC rail persists at 1.4V which ends up causing some kind of damage to the SMU (one of the IP blocks that get powered by VDDCR_SOC, according to this).
This damage to the SMU is what then lets the CPU pull 37A from the EPS12V, meaning that some 440W of thermal energy needs to be dissipated by a cooler where the CPU is incapable of asserting PROCHOT - because the firmware responsible for it has already given up the ghost (otherwise it wouldn't be pulling 37A from a 12V rail).

I'm not really sure whether it matters if it's implemented or not, and I doubt that it's the only form of overheating protection that the CPU has.

I don't think we can know anything about whether the systems with 4x48GB memory at 6000MT/s were running stable at any point, considering that these sets of DIMMs haven't even hit the market.

Maybe someone found four separate 48GB DIMMs capable of running at 4800MT/s and somehow managed to overvolt them enough to run at 6000MT/s by using an open bench setup with a couple of high static pressure server fans pointing directly at the DIMMs, but I have my doubts.

You accidentally linked the 2x24 kit. Assuming that is single rank; I would guess that 4 single rank will hit 6000 with fiddling but 4 dual rank will not come anywhere close.

Or double those numbers because each ddr5 dimm is kinda like two ranks right, but w/e.

Like hobbesmaster said, those are 5200MT/s, but they're also 38 CAS latency, and don't appear to have EXPO profiles (nor is there a EXPO report, which granted is voluntary but kinda defeats the point of EXPO if it isn't available).
Also, I'm not sure I'd trust redditors with anything.

Based on my experience getting 4x32 to work, I would not trust 4x48 at any reasonable speeds without monitoring for ECC errors. Memtest should pick up errors but it can sometimes miss CPU-side errors especially if you end it early while trying to dial in an overclock.
