Maybe you should use a custom kit. I bought with my 9980XE (i'm waiting for my new 10980XE) an EKWB kit...i've low temp even if i stress my cpu in windows apps! A custom kit is the best choice IMHO.So here's a question for everyone about this new 10980XE on my WS X299 SAGE/10G
One of my tasks is encoding MP4s for delivery to some clients.
When I run the job, it does it's best to saturate all the cores, but man this computer is running insanely hot and I'm sure it's throttling down according to iStat Menus
I'm running a Corsair H150i. In my case, I don't care about sleep, I usually shut it down when I'm not using it as a habit I've always had (read somewhere that the Corsair stuff doesn't play well w/ sleep in MacOS).
I ordered some Noctua NF-F12 IndustrialPPC 2000 PWM fans to replace the ones that shipped with my H150i, but I'm wondering if I should cancel the order and maybe mess with the fan profile in the BIOS? I don't think there's any actual fan/pump control in MacOS as of yet (or ever most likely). Also, don't have Windows on this machine, but I guess I can install it to make the necessary changes w/ an external SSD.
When I check iStat during a long render, I'm seeing it hit 100 C on 1 or 2 cores, but then it obviously throttles back. I need to fix this before I start doing some bigger jobs, so I'm using a separate machine in the interim. The machine idles around 35 C so I'm sure the thermal paste and such is applied properly. It ONLY spikes during this specific workload (Final Cut exports are fine, as it doesn't tax the CPU as hard).
Anybody have any advice for me here?
Please can you share your EFI?
