I don't think you need an exhaust fan because you already have your psu fan doing that, unless it runs 0rpm on low load? You could replace the cooler master fan with a 92mm noctua fan which will move much more air with less noise.
Nice case, wish it allowed coolers up to 155mm though. I would just put some magnetic 140mm ultra fine dust filters in front of your fans and remove whatever dust filter that comes with the case and you would need to tape over the bottom of the front panel(stock filters usually just block lots...
You still have to short the pins on the 24 pin to turn the psu on properly, and plugging unplugging shouldn't do that. Still I'd make sure the psu switch is off next time.
Reducing SOC voltage to 1.05v and VDDG voltage to 0.9v-900mv would save power at idle. Those bios temps seem normal the bios on my board puts moderate load on a single core which can spike the temperature at stock settings.
They're not much of a step down if they have a noctua fan. For the OP I would get the 212 RGB and a second black Noctua 120mm fan to put on the other side of the 212 heatsink. That will keep the aesthetic and give you awesome cooling.
Those temps and power usage are pretty normal for Zen 2. The SOC on 3950x uses slightly more power than the 8 core chips because it has to connect to 2 CCD's.
I think in this case the best value upgrade would be the 3300x - it has slightly higher multicore throughput than the 1600 and a massive boost in single core speed. 3300x basically matches and exceeds the 3600 in a lot of games thanks to 4 cores per ccx vs 3 cores per ccx for the 3600.
Also you...
The screenshot clearly shows max and average power consumption is much less with the manual OC even though manual OC forces the frequency to run at max all the time. Average temps are even 5c lower than stock with a manual OC. Modern cpu's spend most of their idle time in a deep c state anyway...
Well my manual OC was 4.2ghz and stock single core boost is only 4.2ghz so the manual OC was slightly better. My 24/7 OC is 4.4ghz@1.2v, I was just using 4.2ghz to test against stock.
The 3700x has a higher boost frequency than the 3600 requiring more single core voltage/temperature. Also when I was doing the stock power consumption test in my screenshot I was using a power plan switcher which changes the power plan on idle to 99% max frequency which reduces the idle temp a...
