I bought this block through Superbuy, took about a month from order to arrival. Still don't have my system built, but I should have it together in the next couple weeks.
Compared to the Nouvolo I've heard it does much better but can't find that comparison anymore.
I think I've read it in this topic too.
I'd like to hear what your temps are when it's finished and with what bios settings/ PBO enabled or not etc.
Am currently underwhelmed with the temps both the Nouvolo and the 5900x produce.
The Nouvolo compared to the Velocity has an 8c celsius gap. Which I think is a lot.
I finally have my temps under control and now my idle temps are at 35 degrees roughly with a 27% pump speed (EK 3.2 DDC PWM)
Somehow at 30% the pump has a very audible and annoying whine that disappears when going to 50% for example.
Actually have reverted the power plan in windows back to balanced, which sees the temps spike back up towards 45 degrees roughly.
I noticed stuttering in the Witcher 3 with the energy saving setting enabled in windows power schemes.
I also have PBO active.
With the energy saving scheme the 5900x stays at 35c, but with balanced scheme it spikes to 60c with very light stuff like opening a folder in windows.
It's driving me crazy.
