Log Sliger SM560, Ryzen 3600 OC'd, 2070 Super - SILENT

[justin_ST]

Greetings everyone,

I browse the site every now and then so I figured I'd show the build I did this past spring. It's a Sliger SM560 case with vented side panels that keep it cool and quiet. I am running the R5 3600 locked at 4.2Ghz on all cores on just 1.1V. I did replace the stock fan on the Noctua L9A-AM4 cooler with a 25mm thick fan to get it closer to the side panel. The bottom fan is set to exhaust.

Nice setup!

What about CPU temp?

Nice build, love the monitor.

Thanks! 48c idle, 68c under full load, about 60c when gaming

Way better than most of R5 3600 kept at stock settings. (reaching up to 80°C even with IS-60). Putting 25mm fan is way better in order to avoid hot air recycling.

Like for my personal case (R7 3800X @ 4.3Ghz) I guess for SFF it's way better to impose fixed voltage (depending on your cooling) and go for max clock speed (silicon lottery)

True. Honestly, I am surprised at how low I was able to bring the voltage/temps down and keep it stable. I found the core boost/precision boost to be extremely annoying with the constant ramp up and down, even with custom fan curves, it was difficult to get it to STFU. I started with locking it at 3.6Ghz, 1.018V for about six months, then decided to try for a bit more a couple days ago. I used 1.2V and got it up to 4.2GHz (never crashed, but temps were getting up to 70), then started knocking off the voltage slowly to cool it back down. It never crashed but I'm satisfied with the current temps and little to no noise.

Yes you are right. I forgot to mention permanent fan ramp up & down with stock settings on R7 3800X, even with C14S... My R7 1700X was not as annoying. It is related to precision boost behaviour, just to show better single threaded performance...

those clocks and voltages are extremely good. I have my 3950x at 1.08v and only get to 4.2 with one ccx the worst one is at 3.95 if I remember corectly. congratulations.

Going SFF has it's challenges for sure. I guess I got lucky in the silicon lottery.

Especially true with R5 3600 not famous for that..

Looks really nice in white, looking at SM580 myself.
