Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels

• victorz@lemmy.world ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I did some quick research.

  The idle temperature for the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D can vary, but many users report it idling between 50-60°C, which is considered normal for this processor.

  Under load, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D can reach temperatures up to 90°C, which is within the acceptable range for this CPU.

  I feel confident now. My CPU and cooling seems perfectly nominal. 😌👌

    If your running that CPU then you almost certainly have done research or have money. Either way. Enjoy the setup you’ve got a good cooler and CPU it seems.

  Not true, 95C is the rated safe operating temperature

    95c is damn near boiling at 203f. That is too hot to sustain any good longevity of a part, and any good workload for any component in a PC. That is a lot of heat. You will not get the best performance for a processor at its maximum temperatures running it like that all the time or even close to its max operating temp. I’m not saying you can’t hit that number but ideally you really really shouldn’t.

    So what I said I think stands. Upgrade to a better air cooler and if need be a water cooler at least a 240AIO nothing smaller period. Keep temps lower and parts last longer. Performance boosts during core loads hold clocks longer. No question.

      The processor is not made out of water so the boiling point of water doesn’t affect it

      Your CPU isn’t made of water. Yes, this is safe to do. The manufacture is on the hook for warranties if this goes wrong, and they know it.

      The main concern would be lower quality electrolytic capacitors on the motherboard VRM, but they tend not to use low quality caps these days except maybe on budget boards.

        The VRM temperature is a different sensor. You can have 69C VRMs when your processor is 95C

      Near the boiling point of water, sure. I don’t have any water in my system, though. Unless there’s water in the cooling paste? I dunno.

      Anyway, there’s a lot of saying this and saying that in these replies to my question, so I think I’ll do some proper research instead. 😅

      You got a better suggestion for an air cooler than this one that I have?

      noctua.at/en/nh-d15-g2-lbc

      Much appreciated.

        The Noctua NH 15 is a great air cooler one of the best air coolers actually. What are you pairing it to? What CPU?

        Almost all things noctua are good. However. They are expensive and if you’re not plotting on future cpu high TDP chips it’s overkill. I don’t honestly see the need to drop that much money on a CPU cooler. There’s near equal more cost effective options. Unless your doing major overclocks, cpu heavy loads at near max clock speed constantly where you think major wear and tear will happen I don’t for see the need to spend that much. I’ve built many many PCs.

        You can find comparable air coolers much cheaper. Think 50 to 80 range and technically you can score them on eBay for cheaper than that. Look at the Phantom spirit 120 cheapest 30 to 40 usd, AK620 1 to 3c cooler than phantom 50 to 65usd, frost commander 140 80usd, noctua DH 15 150 to 180usd.

        Of course prices fluctuate. Those get you the best ranked air coolers for the most part. Their all within roughly 5C of each other. All good coolers. Take the extra money savings and add to a GPU or whatever part you really need.
