These do not have PBO Enabled by default so the 5800X is running at lower TDP. They Tend to boost to around 4.5-4.6Ghz in gaming loads without PBO and barely 50Mhz higher with it enabled due to the cooling as you mentioned. I usually take the bottom fan (since its the exact same spec fan as AIO fan) and use it on the AIO in push pull. I just install a regular ARGB fan in place of the removed TT fan (although if you use a TT fan they connect much easier due to their crazy little connector). With push/pull running a 24hr OCCT CPU load while looping Heaven on an OC'd 3080 the system peaks around 75F CPU and low 70s GPU. A quick undervolt and OC of the GPU will give better then stock performance while shaving 50~75W off the GPU which reduces temps a good deal. It takes 30 seconds to get Power Limit to 93%, core to +50 and memory to +1000. I have yet to see a single 3080 sample (out of over 400) not be 100% stable at these settings. Do note that while these systems used to ship with the excellent Zotac Trinity OC GPUs recently they have been coming with EVGA XC3 or MSI Ventus 3X OC GPUS. These have subpar cooling compared to the Zotac. The Zotac use a much thicker backplate with quality thermal pads while the EVGA uses mediocre pads and the MSI does not use any thermal padding on the rear PCB whatsoever!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I played a few games in ultra settings 4k with Ray tracing. Gpu only reached Temps around 75 degrees. So yeah I'd say cooling is just fine.
