I have a 3995wx with a Noctua NH-U14S. I have also added a secondary Noctua 140mm NF-A15 HS-PWM and a couple of Noctua NF-F12-PWM 120mm Fan to help with airflow.
When rendering I am regularly getting temps of over 90c. Last night the max package temp was 93.6c!
Has anyone got experience with effectively cooling this chip? Seems like I need to look at something with a bit more power.
I think something must be off there, I can't imagine a 3995wx getting that hot with a Noctua NH-U14S unless you are doing PBO on it (AFAIK some WRX80 boards now allow that) or something is off
For reference, my 3970x is getting max 70c with that cooler (with PBO it can boost to 80c something but comes to down to 73c after mere seconds) and my 5995wx with an upside down NH-U14S maxes out at 70c.
Really seems off for some reason :\
Thanks for the reply. This is a bit worrying. What would be your first steps for troubleshooting the issue?
