Ok so ran some tests this morning and I think it's just a weird thing that this cooler keeps the idle temp at around 45-50C. Put it through 3D Mark and Heaven and the fan curve kicked in and never let it go above 65 even on the extreme CPU benchmark. Edit. Ok so further update Dropped the core voltage down a bit and now seeing around 40C idle temps. There seems to be a slight issue with Ryzen 3900s staying at 1.4V all the time, and not decreasing when not in use. Have pretty drastically dropped it to 1.05V and that's now at 38C idle.

That seems to settle it a bit yeah, even when turning off the Voltage decrease Going to leave the V decrease on for now as im not noticing a performance hit so may as well take advantage of the cooler temps

There's also this power plan you can try, might be better than 1usmus: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/commen...ntent=post_body

Speaking of power plans, they're basically Windows specific, right? Is there any sort of Linux equivalent that works with Ryzen? AFAIK there's a "scaling_governor" setting or something, that I tried messing with before, but it didn't seem to do anything  Do the CPUs by any chance just behave better by default on Linux?

But Linux doesn't have any of these issues. CPUs run full throttle when there is load, and idle at low power/low temp when there is not load. But I'm pretty sure that Windows used to do the same thing? My understanding is that all of this userspace power management stuff has evolved because a subset of power users has become obsessed with exactly how fast a CPU ramps between power states, 99th percentile framerates, "microstutter", etc., etc. If those are things you care about, I recommend staying very far away from Linux.

these things are not an issue in linux, because linux scheduling isn't a loving garbage fire. very early on the very few cpus that actually supported cpufreq just ran at constant 100% unless you installed cpufreq separately, but that poo poo's all in the kernel now where it belongs. you can still select a power plan from a list of plans the cpu itself presents to the OS or even set a specific frequency if you're completely insane  , but there's zero need to do this due to the above reasons.pcie ssd benchmarks lmao

Munkeymon posted:Just don't use their dumbass software - the drives are still good So the lesson is don't say yes to anything that claims to 'optimize' your system, especially if the product or software is in any way for gamers. Because a benchmark goes up by 0.5% and the idiot gamer thinks "wow this samsung ssd was really worth it!" Meanwhile their CPU is consuming 100 watts 24/7 completely to waste.

Does Windows not have decent generic/multivendor storage drivers? I'm honestly curious because I've been in the Unix world so long, and over here you only need a vendor's driver if you have a fairly esoteric piece of hardware. Single NVMe drives just plain work.

Why what? Why am I trying to cut down on cables? Who knows. I like spending money on trivial stuff but also this SSD is running low on space so I figured instead of buying another SSD and adding that to the mix I'd just buy a m2 and get rid of some cables.

Oh I had to install their software when I got the drive years ago to format it correctly. Don't know why but apparently on their newer drives you don't need to. I just never got round to removing the lovely software.

what's wrong with trying to get rid of cables? if your storage needs can be met by one or two M.2 drives (large ones, if needed) then it's a really nice and convenient solution. tbh I wish the HighPoint cards that have a PCIe switch to put four drives on a single card without bifurcation weren't so expensive, the SSDs themselves aren't that bad anymore vs SATA SSDs, it'd be great to get 4TB or 8TB of SSD with no cables.

Yeah I have two 500GB m2 drives, one for Windows and one for Linux, and then I recently added a 1TB SATA ssd for media storage as I’m starting to get into making tutorial videos. But until then I didn’t need a wired drive.

It originally sounded like you had a solution that was working completely fine but you wanted to buy new poo poo for aesthetics, which ok I guess but it is kind of weird to care so much about cables that you get rid of working stuff for no other reason.

Cables kind of suck but just throwing in a SATA SSD and just letting it dangle inside the case is way easier than trying to screw in an M.2 drive in a slot that's wedged between the video card and CPU heatsink

Though being the absolute cretin that I am I installed the drive in the slot not covered by the GPU so I'm going to have to take it out anyway to put the 2nd one in

re cables, what they should do is add a tiny power line to the sata spec so that SSDs -- which only use a couple watts -- don't need to have power cables connected as well. The sata power connectors are the most annoying part of the cable deal, especially on PSUs that have the awful in-line style connectors.CyberPingu posted:The m2 slots on my mobo were actually really well placed. On ryzen mobos the top m.2 slot is normally the one connected directly to the CPU, so ideally that's where you put your system / fastest nvme drive. (Not that it makes any real difference in IRL results, but if you want to optimize for performance why not. edit: Plus if you've got a x570 mobo, having the less heavily used drives connected through the chipset should theoretically mean the chipset fan doesn't turn on as often.)

Your post prompted me to check, and I just found the chipset fan running on my x570 for the first time ever. It's pretty warm here today and I haven't got the AC hooked up yet, so the ambient temperature is probably around 80 degrees, so that's probably why.
