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...
Here's some data on how a 4.2ghz manual OC compares to a 3600 at stock. As you can see average core power consumption is about 30% lower with a manual OC.
You should try CCD overclocking, the first CCD is usually 100mhz+ faster than the 2nd CCD. Your temps look fine to me for water cooler, my budgetish air cooler lets my 3600 nearly hit 80c in aida64 at 1.2v, you're probably pulling around 2x as much power than me at 1.2v so the temps look fine.
Ok I tried just sitting idle on the desktop and closed all background programs like steam and ppt went down to 5.8w somehow, too bad I never see that during normal usage.

14w min idle power consumption, about 2x what I used to get on zen+. Idle power usage seems much worse on zen2 even though the cores are using much less power. Even low loads like watching youtube video use much more power than zen+, gaming is...
I've heard this type of problem from a lot of launch zen2 buyers, never anything more recent. Disabling cstates or setting power supply to typical current usually helps.
I would go with 1866 in this case. Cas latency isn't that important relative to infinity fabric speed. Also the 1866 would be able to do 17-18-18-38 at least if it's the same kit.
I would just get a ryzen 2200-3400 and limit ppt to 35w. Or an AF1600 if you need more than 4 cores and limit it to 35w ppt but then you need a sepaerate gpu.
It reduces cpu frequency under idle leaving more headroom under stock pbo limits to run high frequency/high voltage, and max frequency@1.5v can spike the cpu temperature really fast even for small background loads.
Says it's Micron ram probably rev e so the ram should be fine at its xmp profile. I'm guessing it's a combination of your zen+ cpu and/or motherboard causing the problem.
I have the same problem with my 3200 xmp ram with a 2600 and asus b350 board. Nobody can get ram to run stable above...
I had a junk set of 2 x 8gb spectek, I couldn't get it to run stable at cl16 -2666mhz or higher. It overheated I think whenever I went over 1.3v. It ran ok at cl14-2400mhz-1.3v.
I would run yours at a lower frequency like 2400-2666mhz and try to get cl14-16 working.
btw my soc only needs...
I have an SSD with 32gb of ram so I don't need primocache as much as someone as a Hard drive, still improving the write speed of your ssd to RAMdisk speeds is still worth it, I also run my windows partition with a 6gb r/w ram disk(5.1gb for reads), this means basically 100% of my writes and 95%+...
I'd prefer the Noctua threadripper fan/heatsink and just reduce ppt a few watts if temps were a problem. That still gives you max single thread performance if you're worried about that.
Yes it would be better than the stock heatsink. Regarding the stock cooler blowing air over your motherboard yes that can help but I doubt you're going to push your vrm's that hard with an 87w cpu so the Noctua would still be better.
edit: you could mount the fan facing the vrms much lower to...
I've had a look at some reviews and it seems about 0c to +6c on the thermal pad, seems to depend on how flat your heatsink coldplate is. The 30x30mm pads were where I saw the +6c delta but they weren't big enough to cover the ryzen IHS, I think the 40x40mm ones would perform better considering...
