CPU temps again from SVI2 sensor around 47-48degC at 3.9Ghz/1.35V, I have only checked in gaming session, since AIDA64 would crash very quickly, and Wattage go up to 130W and CPU temps in mid 50s I have a good Mid tower case for airflow(Aerocool P7 C1) with 3 front fans and 1 rear but yes I am all on air so the spire cooler certainly limit my OC I recognize that just didnt want to move to an AM cooler solution just yet since I am not completely sure to keep the and I am waiting to see how Ryzen 2nd generation develops

What make, model, and how old is the PSU?

With the computer running, place your palm over the psu where it exhausts and report back what you feel air temp blowing out wise

every X model is hand picked as it has to XFR to go for high numbers :P
got 1600X here 4.1Ghz all cores 1.375v
as for cooling...i doubt u get some high clocks on air
at 4ghz it eats ~165watts under full use...air cooling topps out at 150watts i tihink? but even with those monsters temeprature isnt ~up to 50C
as for vrm ...well ...my mobo (fatal1ty x370 gaming x) has some kinky flat vrm heatsink design...which was replaced be something more capable :)

Off my own topic, how did you get your 1500X to hit 4Ghz? with an AM cooler I guess?on water? i am with the stock spire and can push 3.9ghz at 1.35V stableish in Gaming  but would not pass any stress testing or benchmark(AIDA64, Cinebench, OCCT) at that frequncy

he got his 1500 to 4ghz cos hes a cheating moderator and got a cherry picked example

^the above comment to be taken in cheeky humour please ^

as for your system wardog is right windows based tweaking isnt as ideal as the hype leads you to think

have you tried the 'P' state overclocking method ?

you can set stages of voltage depending on workloads

i was able to get below 0.500 volt on idle on my 1700 non X

but sorry i must say (excuse me its a habit of us old guys) but if as you say 3.9ghz at 1,35v 'stablish'. then the overclock isnt successful, it still needs tweaking, otherwise the dam things will let you down and corrupt data ,usually at the exact same time a windows update is re-writing something in the registry from updates or something
i would advise less speed eg 3.8 or a bit more volts

I guess I don't see where that was harsh at all.

Young buck. Two more weeks and I hit 58.

Sry. BIOS. I learned to decades ago.

You should too. Learn BIOS OC'ing. Much more finer tuning from within the BIOS.
