I remember this one time, back in August, when I went in to order a 3900X for $499.99 at Best Buy to be shipped to me and used a 10% Birthday Coupon code and a 10% Best Buy Visa Rewards redemption code - and they stacked.
Good times... :D

Everything about the AIO Corsair told me it was working from the iCue app, to feeling the vibration on the pump/heatsink housing to feeling movement through the hoses.
Swapped in the 3900X's heatsink and everything is immediately 20 degrees lower across the board and no more throttling.
*sigh*...
The same way I've done on every every build I've ever done around a heatspreader'd CPU; a drop of TIM the size of a pea right in the middle, flattened out by the heatsink.
I'll give that a shot tomorrow. But I really feel like there's another problem here. I've been running this build for 2...
Trying the latest chipset drivers as we speak, but the flaming temps are reported at BIOS level so I'm not sure it'll help.
Default BIOS settings, latest BIOS. Even did a Load Defaults just to be sure.
Also tried the neg offset but it would only let me drop -.1v. And that's what still left...
Ryzen 3900X with a Corsair H100i rad and MX-4 in between. ASRock X370 Taichi.
I just noticed that temps were idling at 70ish and immediately hitting the 95c thermal limit on load. Which got me looking at voltages and the BIOS had the CPU at 1.45ish for god knows what reason. So with a bit of...
So I've had the 3900X in my Best Buy Saved Cart for a while and watched as it went into and out of stock, mostly not even letting me attempt to check out with it and then error out the few times it did. Yesterday on an error out I noticed a popup dialogue that said to order the item in-store...

Grabbed one of these a few weeks ago for $950 on-sale. Have been extremely impressed by it.
Thanks for the...
I figured this would be an easy hunt since I know my hardware. But the more I look into the Ryzen mobile stuff the more I see talk about unnecessary performance throttling? Is it a universal affliction?
The laptop will be used for work primarily to show clients product demonstrations but I'd...
