What is PPT and TDC?

PPT, TDC and EDC are all three separate thermal limits, and once you understand that the CPU will stop drawing power once ONE of them is hit, you can kind of figure out where/how your CPU is drawing power and how to limit it.

What is a good temperature for 5950X?

90C
Replying to a Redditor, Hallock said that AMD views temperatures up to 90C (for the 5800X/5900X/5950X) as typical and by design for full load conditions.

Is replacing thermal paste on GPU worth it?

When GPU has been mining for quite some time, or even if the GPU is a bit older, it is recommended to change the thermal paste between the GPU and the heatsink. The paste will harden over time and eventually, the GPU might overheat which could cause permanent damage to the GPU.

What is GPU hotspot?

As its name suggests, the hotspot is the hottest spot on the GPU, measured from a network of thermal sensors across the GPU die, unlike conventional “GPU Temperature” sensors, which reads off a single physical location of the GPU die. The sensor with the highest temperature measurement becomes the hotspot.

Is High EDC bad?

It’s not a bad thing, it just is what it is as the CPU goes about doing what it does. It only means it’s hitting 90\% of an artificially low limit. EDC is a setting intended to limit the maximum current drawn on the VRM for short periods, but it’s set really low by default.

What is EDC PPT?

My understanding, TDC is sustained amps, EDC is peak amps, PPT is total watts. TDC changes the maximum sustained amps, PPT the maximum watts. volts x amps = watts, so they are linked together. Both will limit the amount of power your CPU can pull = less heat.

What is idle temp for 5950X?

About temps.. My idle temps are quite lower (about 34-36°C) than yours, but quite higher (78-82°C) on full load. That’s the difference between air and water cooling behaviour.

How often should I Repaste my GPU?

In most cases, replacing GPU thermal paste will only be necessary after 5 to 10 years. And even then, if you are an advanced user, there’s a chance that you may be upgrading your GPU completely and would no longer need to reapply any thermal solution.

How hot is too hot for GPU hotspot?

While ideal GPU temperatures are usually between 65° to 85° Celsius (149° to 185° F) under load, AMD GPUs (like the Radeon RX 5700 or 6000 Series) can safely reach temperatures as high as 110 degrees Celsius (230° F).

What is a good hotspot temp?

Ideal differences between Gpu <> Hotspot is +11-12C. Great is +15C. Good-Normal +17-22C.

What is the best thermal paste?

Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut Thermal Grease Paste comes in an easy to apply 1.0-gram syringe and delivers optimal heat transfer for large-scale cooling systems. With an exceptional thermal conductivity rating of 73 W/mK, the Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut is one of the best thermal pastes you can buy in 2019.

How to apply thermal paste?

1) Place a tiny drop of thermal paste to the center of the cooler base. The bead of paste should be smaller than a BB or a grain of rice. 2) Attach the heat sink to the processor. Install the heat sink with even pressure from all sides, and the bead that you placed on the surface will spread over 3) Avoid removing the heat sink after installing it. It can be difficult to check if your paste has been applied correctly. 4) Reconnect the fan to the motherboard. The CPU fan wire should be plugged in the CPU fan socket because it mostly has the PWM function which allows the computer 5) Boot the system. Check that the fan is spinning. Enter the BIOS by pressing F1 or Del key during POST.

What is the purpose of thermal paste?

Thermal grease, also called thermal paste or thermal compound, is a substance used to promote better heat conduction between two surfaces and is commonly used between a microprocessor and a heatsink . The top surface of most microprocessors is not perfectly flat.

What is thermal paste?

Thermal paste is a very high heat conductive paste that is used between two objects (usually a heatsink and a CPU/GPU) to get better heat conduction. It fills in all those microscopic imperfections on the heatsink and CPU/GPU that can trap air in them and cause a loss in the heatsink’s performance. Air is a very poor conductor of heat.
