5950X is in but my internet is out so I'm posting on my phone.

First impressions are just wow. Load Temps under R20 load are only 51-52C all core stock. WHAAAAAT. also hit almost 10.4k stock on that run. 637 single core boosting to 4950-5050MHz during that run. Warmer die during the single core got up to 57C, so it runs warmer under single than multi currently... Which I suppose makes sense because single core is higher voltage & frequency.

Idles at 27-34C in Windows so I do believe I've got a great mount.

Just waiting for the internet to come back up so I can throw some games at it.

Edit: update, reran R20 multi core after letting it idle for a bit, 10403. Noice.

Which bios are you on for the motherboard? You should try using r23 as well. The 10minute loop is a good test of thermals and mild stability. Yours sounds like a good candidate to check strong cores on ryzen master (it’s a program ryzen offers but I don’t like it for actual overclocking. It marks the best cores on each ccx for you though) and then fiddle with curve optimizer under the advanced settings of the asus bios. If you’re already hitting 5050 on auto you could see some solid MC pickup without losing that good 5.0+ on strong cores.

I'm debating if I want to start to OC mine, or play some games. The Dark Hero is completely different then the Hero? That sucks I just got the Hero too...
But if I go with a non dynamic OC, then who cares right?
 
Any recommendations if I want to push past 4.7?
 
I'm kinda boo, because my quick disconnects suck. I think Is aid that over the weekend. So I may push my Intel build off one month to fix that first. I ordered some from Koolance, and the lower end ones from Alphacool. I want to try the higher end Alphacool one, but they're sold out everywhere but off their site, and I know it's going to cost like $30 + $60 S/H...

You should look at those Lian Li light bars for the full rainbow affect.

O_o if the computer put out anymore light I wouldn't need a room light. lol
 
And I'm refering to running 1.41V as a static voltage, I think that's a bit high for 24/7 usage, but I could be wrong, I'm still doing research myself - seems most review sites & places that have overclocking guides don't recommend going past 1.35 much, both because it won't result in higher clocks until you get up well above 1.4, and because of the heat issue, going a whole .1V higher to get 100MHz more isn't really worth it I don't think.

Ya that was more directed at Clovis for going over 1.4v. I will probably end up backing my VID down to 1.35 and 4.70 because my r20 score only drop about 100pts but my temps drops 3-5C under 8hr stress tests and closer to 8C under standard use. I also think my mount could be a touch better and I’m going to switch back to Thermal grizzly. The tf8 seems fine but I have a lot of variables I’m dealing with now and I need to cut down on that some. Still praying to the pc gods that we get the gpu block this week so I have an excuse to drain my loop and redo it

4.7 is stable at 1.35V for you?  Hoping I can get around the same, I haven't messed with it yet today because I was doing my weekly XP harvesting on mass CSGO accounts via Sandboxie (which resets Tuesday night/Wednesday morning but the servers were having issue yesterday).
 
I am tempted to check my mount/thermal tape but I think I got a pretty good mount based on my stock (non-PBO) all-core load is 52C for R20.  I know my mount on the 3900x was horrible though, look at this lol:
 
 

 
I made sure I put more paste on the 5950X than I did on that mount, and I also made sure I tightened all 4 things as much as you possibly can... probably tighter than they need to be, but the temps are decent.  Even with PBO I'm only getting in to the high 60sC load for R20.  I haven't done extended temp testing yet.
