yes, PBO enabled, as mentioned the AIO cools better for higher boost than the Noctua I had before: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AB9EJcOGGaw.html
Any reason why you didn't go with an arctic freezer 2? It has a fan on the CPU block which helps cool the VRMs too making it great for stability and overclocking.
I wanted to test this popular brand, did not want more moving parts and fans and liked the display for status information ;-) I would hope this global airflow is more than tiny loc fans provide...
I have the same cpu and cooler but for some reason my average idle temp is about 60 degrees. I tried everything but nothing seem to bring the idle temp lower than that. I thought with that type of cooler it would run a lot cooler. Any suggestions?
It looks like you have the ram sticks in adjacent slots. I believe that would only be using a single memory channel. Might want to check your motherboard manual to ensure you're in the optimal performance configuration.
