It's been about 6-7 years since I last built a PC and need something much faster. Question: what RAM are you using here? Is it glowing red? Or just how it looked in camera (at 22:08)?
It was just red on the outside, no RGB, just looked that way on camera...It was ADATA XPG 3200Mhz Ram...Have fun with your new PC once you have it built...all the best...Stay Safe...Thanks...
awesome video dude, really helpful. building my new PC in the morning and it's my first time putting my own one together. don't suppose you have any tips?
Main thing is take your time and don't rush, and if your unsure I have lots of different videos on building a PC that might help...good luck, and have fun with it...but be careful it's addicting once you build one, you won't want to stop lol...
Reviewing Playing & More RPM already want to do more with it haha, all I’m missing from the build is a gpu as I’m using my old 950 until I decide on a new one
@@CheifOfGaming I'm using a 950 in one of my builds as well, it's working great until I can get a new 3070 or 3080, once they fix the crashing issue's...
Reviewing Playing & More RPM yeah it’s not bad until you get a better one. Not going for the 3070/80 myself, waiting until they come out and getting a 2070/80 which should have gone down in price by then
Thanks a lot. is it really necessary to have on rgb in my motherboard or cpu or any kind of electrical instruments? Thus we know lights emits or produces head then why we will use these lighting? Thank you.
I've been using the stock paste going on 2 years without issue, temps have been good. However if you have your own Thermal Paste it can get slightly better temps, maybe 5 sometimes 10C degree's better.
Good informative video sir. I remember the days with socket A coolers that you had to take a flat head screw driver and jam it into a notch on the strap and press down towards the motherboard to get it to clip on. One slip and you literally stabbed a hole right through your motherboard...
Yeah I remember doing things that I did hit the motherboard and been lucky not to do damage, thankfully your right those days are mostly gone now...have a great day...Thanks...
Hey man, is it ok to pair this cpu with a ryzen 1000 series wraith stealth cooler? I plan on buying a used cpu without the cooler, and plan on using an existing cooler I have. Thanks!
Yes, but I'd suggest after it's installed checking the temps for a bit to see how they are, and as long as they are staying in a good range for gaming and such then it'll be good.
The sound is likely because for some reason windows will set the minimum processor state to 100%, when really it should be much lower. If you change this in your power settings even to 50% or down to 10% like I have, it will stop being so loud, while still being able to crank up if necessary
The USB will provide the ability to use other software such as MB Software, and the RGB may work for the colors with the MB RGB Software, they will both work together, just that up until recently they did not necessarily work well together. There have been a few updates since this video so things may work better now.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM when I only plug in the usb, I can control the rgb on the fan however my cpu fan slows down and has inconsistent speeds. But when I only plug in the other included cable, the fan speed is great (but I can’t control rgb of course). Is there a way I can get consider the fan speed as well as control the rgb because when I plug both cables in, fan speed is great but I can’t control rgb (but it’s still detectable as a cm device)
@@sonyx7138 Only as in the video, where I use the Software and to control the Fan RGB, and using just the USB. Then MB Software for the rest of the RGB in the system. You can then go into the BIOS and set a fan curve to better control fan speeds.
Most recent Fans can get to 2000 RPM, but 1400-1600 RPM would be fine, but to avoid any excess fan noise will happen above 900 RPM. So test noise level after 900 until it's working the way you want it to and within that range. You can do any harm to the PC.
I'm not a fan of the CPU mounting system that AMD is using.It's a royal pain, and if you are remounting the CPU with a fresh application of thermal paste, it can potentially cause uneven distribution of paste.
I'd like them to have a different mounting system as well, I have replaced this CPU Cooler and used new Thermal Paste and the temps actually went down a small amount...
Bro is it ok if I installed the prism while the motherboard is fixed in the case ? Bcz am upgrading the cpu only and am lazy to take everything out ! Am just afraid this kind of pressure will break the mb
No I used to install them in the case often before I started filming everything, it'll be fine...just remember you only apply as much pressure as you need to flip the handle and that won't hurt the MB...
Hey, i kind of tried to follow around, but my wraith prism programm says that i have to "plug in my cm device to get started", i did everything the same as in your video, did i get a wrong version? Could someone help me out?
Did you plug in just the USB or the RGB Cable as well, you can sometimes fix it by removing the RGB Cable if it was used, and if not, then remove the USB Cable, reboot the PC and then plug it in and hopefully it will recognize it then, I have had this happen and that's what fixed it for me...
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM ok so after i wrote the question i checked again and it turned out that i left out two pins while plugging the usb in, after i plugged it in it worked as intended.
It was for me as well, what I found was switching from High Performance to Low on the CPU Cooler switch helped with noise a lot and temps stayed good, I also went into the BIOS and to the Fan settings and switched it to Quiet...now it's barely noticeable...hope that helps...Thanks...
So if you used the Wraith Prism Software for the CPU Cooler it will let you change all the colors individually, if your using the MB Software then it depends on what your using. Let me know which and I'll see if I can do more.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM I got it to work I had to take out the rgb pin cable for some reason to get custom lights on it, no clue why that worked but thank you for the reply tho!
This helped me a lot; I just installed this same cpu on relatively the same mobo. Now I gotta save up for the gpu, ram, power, storage, and case. So excited!
Very cool, I have done the same thing many times, I buy parts when they go on sale, and buy then, takes a bit of time but worth the savings...All the Best...Thanks...
I’ve just brought this and have tried installing it only to realise I have lost the brackets at some point (who knows how my last cooler stayed on), anyone have any advice on what to do or where I could find some new ones? 😭😭😭
You can get a new set from Amazon for about $7.00 that includes the entire set of screws and backplate, also you could get an aftermarket CPU Cooler as well.
Great video and channel, I installed my 3700x last night! Thanks for your help and very very easy to follow video! I initially watched another video, but they didn't go over the cables for the RGB lights at all, so I didn't even install them at first. You rock!
Glad my video was abIe to help you out! Appreciated the kind words, and great job on your installation, enjoy your new CPU and have fun...take care and all the very best...Thanks...
Yeah it's a poor design by AMD imo, they need to make some change to this as there have been some that have broken it...I've done it twice now and learnt that carefully applying enough even pressure makes it easier to flip the lever but both times it was the same for me, wondering if it might break, thankfully not so far...glad you got it down ok though...Take Care...Thanks...
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM It seems to be easier if you loosen the brackets and then connect the lever and flip it, then screw the brackets back down tight.
Yes it more then enough, if your finding it loud and they are, you can go to your Power settings and change the Processor to 50% and the other one there's 3 that will show and you can set it to 50% as well and the CPU will still work at 100% but it will make the Wraith Prism CPU Cooler much quieter, you can also go in and set it in the BIOS to Quiet and you'll all be quiet and work great...
Does that 3 Pin USB control the RGB i had my pre built and they didnt do the CPU core connection and when I Downloaded the wraith prism program it wouldnt recognize my CPU
Yes the 3 Pin USB allows the CPU Cooler Fan (with the RGB Fan) to communicate with the software to control the RGB software using the Wraith Prism Software.
Just use the USB cable not the RGB as that's usually what causes the area, however you could try unplugging all the cables restart and then shut the system down. Then put the cable back in and restart hopefully that might fix it. Try just the USB though.
My buddy did all of this exactly. It worked perfectly while waiting on graphics card to come in we got the fans and leds up. Graphics card came in...pilot light lights up. None of the fans (wraith), graphics card, box come on at all now or light up but the graphics card gives me the good light (whitish blue) not red (bad light). I’ve unplugged and replugged everything. Any ideas? I’ve had this on a surge protector when on, and everything off and unplugged while working on it. I’m lost
It's likely a conflict between the two software for some reason. I'd try getting the GPU up and running, and completely uninstall the Wraith Software and then re-install it and hopefully that will fix the issue. You could first try seeing if you can use the MB Software to control it all but it sounds like you tried that already.

My processor just arrived today and in fact it is the very same one you reviewed. I actually watched this video when i was still planning my build, and now that i have the item in hand i needed a refresher, and this helped, was also taking notes so i will remember everything.
Ensure the cable from the case for the USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 are going from the case to the MB, if they are start checking the case LED pins are all connected to the MB pins...usually JLED1...if all that is ok, go into the BIOS and set it to Load Optimized Defaults...a few things to start with...hope it helps...
Reviewing Playing & More RPM checked the first two but don’t know how to do the last one gonna get it looked at by a pc specialist. As long as the cpu isn’t broken I’ll be fine
youre such a sweet man, i see you responding to every comment and thats so nice! im getting my motherboard and case this week, ill try it and report back if i have any struggles. Thank you!
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM i put everything together, my pc works amazing! put the cooler in with a breeze thanks to this guide. i cant thank you enough!

THANK YOU! You are a great man. Cut my finger trying to get the metal around the black part so I am literally putting my blood sweat and tears into this thing
Sorry you cut your finger, those things can happen not a common thing to happen with the CPU Cooler though, otherwise hope it all went ok...take care of yourself...

You can get them from Amazon, search for AM4 Retention Bracket and it's about $12 and available in different colors to go with color themes for your computer...
@@sp00kyyt78 If the latest BIOS is installed then yes...otherwise if you have an older CPU update while it's in, make sure your familiar with the process or get someone that is to do it for you...Thanks...
question is this a problem? my cpu fan the ryzen 7 3700X sometimes going slower and after when almost stopped going to fast again is that a problem or i need to change it? (I bought it for 3 weeks ago)
Well the CPU Cooler Fan will vary it's speeds depending on what your doing, so it will slow and speed up at different times...I found it was doing that in mine, so I went into the power settings and changed the CPU Performance to 50% and that will reduce the CPU Fan revving up all the time and the CPU will still perform as normal...
Excellent insight, you clearly know how to teach. Please do the other video you mentioned. You're helping people learn something new while we all hunker down. Thanks a million Dennis.
Did the BIOS video and went over many aspects of the BIOS in more detail, glad you like it and appreciate your great comments...Stay Safe and have a fantastic week...Thanks...
Just bought my dad a Ryzen 7 3700x and the idle temp is around 45-55 C and when running a simple youtube 1080P video it hits around +70C. Also, when I first plugged the CPU into the B450 Aorus Pro Wifi mobo, the fan was extremely loud and kept oscillating from high RPMs to low RPMs...Any suggestions on what i can do to fix?
If you go into the Power Options, go to your Power Plan, click Advanced Settings, scroll to Processor power management, change minimum Processor state to 50%, & Maximum processor state to 50% as well, it will still use all of it but will make the CPU Cooler stop the revving up and down all the time, when doing things it'll still use the full power of the CPU it just makes the fan quieter except when it needs to power up to cool things down like in gaming...hope that helps...
Hi. I bought ryzen 3700x and msi mpg x570 gaming plus and I have problems with the temperatures. The motherboard's chipset temp is always 60 Celsius degrees and the cpu's temp starts at 45 Celsius degrees and spikes to 60 Celsius degrees and if I try to launch a game it goes up to 80-90 Celsius degrees
That is normal, the X570 chipset's don't downclock and rather than use actual heatsinks, a lot of OEMs opted to have fans blow air over bare metal; and this we end up in the situation we are in, where the MBs now have a fan. You can change the fan profile though to help a little...Thanks...
The USB Cable is from the CPU Cooler to the CPU Header on the MB, its used in most cases for the CPU Fan, if the Fan has ARGB or RGB there will be a 2nd cable for that as well.
Building this: Asus ROG Strix x570-e Ryzen 7 3700x (stock cooler) Rtx 2070 super 8gb 32gb vengeance 3600mhz 2x16 1tb & 500gb nvme drives Evga 850w 80+ gold psu In a fractal design meshify s2 case. I've purchased 4 more 140mm fans, putting 1 more to front totaling 3 intakes and putting 3 on the roof giving me 4 exhausts including rear. Hardcorw gamer, will I be ok cpu temp wise in your opinion? Thank you in advance.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM update, Parts came in, systems up and running. Under load playing games on ultra settings the systems stays between 62C and 70C. You were right. System runs great. 👍 I did modify the fan setup and went with 4 intakes 3 exhausts as well.
I bought a prebuilt (Lenovo Legion T5) it comes with the ryzen 7 3700x but not with that cooler. Instead they put a weird not branded cooler on it. Should I replace it with the one in this video? because when I'm playing normal games it gets 95 celcius
95C is very high, I would suggest getting something better like the Hyper 212 EVO it cools well and very easy to install, I've reviewed a few different versions one with RGB as well. I use this more often then others as it just works well but if you want even better temps you could also go with an AIO water cooled radiator.
I know this video is over a year old but if you can answer my question I would greatly appreciate it. I have this exact processor and the RGB lights turn on just fine during boot up but shortly after logging into my PC the fan and ring RGB shut off while the logo RGB continues working. The logo still responds to the cooler master program but not the fan or ring RGB.
There is Software for the Wraith Prism CPU Cooler that works independant of the other system devices and will let you set all the CPU Coolers RGB Colors, if it's not in this video it'll be in the 3800X on, look for the timecodes in the description one of them has it and shows the software and everything about it. Thanks
when i start the software it says "plug in your CM device to get started" i have the exact ssame cooler and proccessor as you. What do you thiink the problem is? It may have due to an incompatibility between the motherboard and the software ( ihave a msi b550m pro vdh wiifi)
You can go to PCPartPicker.com to check out compatibility for your components, but the CM Device issue is usually because you used both the RGB and USB cables, but if you didn't and only used the RGB, try using just the USB Cable only and it should get rid of this error message. Also if your using the USB Cable sometimes removing the cable, rebooting the PC and then turn the PC back off and re-insert the USB Cable as that has been known to fix it as well. Good Luck
Thanks for this video, it really helped me when changing termal paste for the first time :) It's still running pretty hot, 85c under load, but new paste dropped it from 95 lol Going to add more fans next, running the case open drops temps even more so I assume airflow is bad. Btw, the instructions for the USB cable were especially helpful!
Thank you there is no tutorial for installing 3900x the same way you do. The whole youtube is lacking such video, plenty of lame unboxing but no video of putting the cooler on. Thanks a lot.
BIOS is firmware used to perform hardware initialization during the booting process, and to provide runtime services for your OS & Programs. The BIOS firmware comes pre-installed on the Motherboard, and it is the first software to run when you turn on your PC...
The direction won't matter to much, it can go on either way it's just best to have it away from the Memory Slot to give more room to put in the Ram Modules, but most people only use 2 sticks of ram so your good, it it's low profile memory then you'll likely be able to get in 4 if you have that many and they'll go in as well...it won't affect the Ram Speed or anything...Thanks...
I installed the CPU but when I try to change the RGB it just tells me to "Plug in a Device", even tho, obiously, my CPU is already in.. how do I do that?
It's looking for the USB Cable, just double check it's in and that might help, also do you have the RGB Cable plugged in, as that can cause the issue as well, remove the RGB Cable if you have it in and see if that helps...
Dont tough the Board/vga or any other components while PC is on, and without rubber gloves.... Turn off and place the vga, then again its your money on the line.
There could be many reasons that can cause this, in order to better help you I'm providing a link to a website that can hopefully help you out: www.techsolutions.support.com/how-to/how-to-fix-a-windows-pc-that-keeps-rebooting-12992 Hope it works.
13:31 there is no pin like that on my motherboard, I cant find it. There is a pin with one of the things missing but it's not the correct one. I'm using the 2700x there are two cables inside the box.
Some AMD X470 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Matisse CPUs, so it might work out of box or not, if your able to update your BIOS (proceed at your own risk) first then you'll be ok...
I need a lot more info to figure out any solution, but let's start with ensuring the 8 Pin and 24 Pin from the PSU are fully plugged in, memory is inserted correctly, reseat them if needed and in slots 2 and 4, and then is the CPU Cooler fan turning on, let me know more of what's going on after all this is checked and I'll see if I can provide more info...
Yeah when I do the videos I do what comes with it and test everything, then sometimes will use my Noctua later. It can make a 5 degree difference sometimes more.

AM4 mounting Bracket, and you can find them on Amazon.
Cheers
Cheers to you too. Have a great day!
The ryzen 7 2700 at the cooler it allrrady have thermo pasta?
Both the 2700 and 3700X both come with Pre-applied Thermal Paste...
did your bored come with the black parts to attach the cooler or does the CPU come with them
The MB already has them on it...Thanks...
This gave me anxiety 😂
Well hope your ok now...🙂
Wait so is the thermal paste pre-applied?
Yes the CPU Cooler comes with the Thermal Paste Pre-Applied.
Hey, i kind of tried to follow around, but my wraith prism programm says that i have to "plug in my cm device to get started", i did everything the same as in your video, did i get a wrong version? Could someone help me out?
Did you plug in just the USB or the RGB Cable as well, you can sometimes fix it by removing the RGB Cable if it was used, and if not, then remove the USB Cable, reboot the PC and then plug it in and hopefully it will recognize it then, I have had this happen and that's what fixed it for me...
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM ok so after i wrote the question i checked again and it turned out that i left out two pins while plugging the usb in, after i plugged it in it worked as intended.
@@noobosaurus7824 Great, glad it's working...
I have the same CPU, I'm satisfied with that but the noise of the stock fan is making me crazy
It was for me as well, what I found was switching from High Performance to Low on the CPU Cooler switch helped with noise a lot and temps stayed good, I also went into the BIOS and to the Fan settings and switched it to Quiet...now it's barely noticeable...hope that helps...Thanks...
When I try and change my rgb I press apply but it dosent change help?
So if you used the Wraith Prism Software for the CPU Cooler it will let you change all the colors individually, if your using the MB Software then it depends on what your using. Let me know which and I'll see if I can do more.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM I got it to work I had to take out the rgb pin cable for some reason to get custom lights on it, no clue why that worked but thank you for the reply tho!

I’ve just brought this and have tried installing it only to realise I have lost the brackets at some point (who knows how my last cooler stayed on), anyone have any advice on what to do or where I could find some new ones? 😭😭😭
You can get a new set from Amazon for about $7.00 that includes the entire set of screws and backplate, also you could get an aftermarket CPU Cooler as well.

Great video and channel, I installed my 3700x last night! Thanks for your help and very very easy to follow video! I initially watched another video, but they didn't go over the cables for the RGB lights at all, so I didn't even install them at first. You rock!
Glad my video was abIe to help you out! Appreciated the kind words, and great job on your installation, enjoy your new CPU and have fun...take care and all the very best...Thanks...
Ok that was scary flipping that lever. The way it was pulling so hard felt like it would dmg my motherboard.
Yeah it's a poor design by AMD imo, they need to make some change to this as there have been some that have broken it...I've done it twice now and learnt that carefully applying enough even pressure makes it easier to flip the lever but both times it was the same for me, wondering if it might break, thankfully not so far...glad you got it down ok though...Take Care...Thanks...
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM It seems to be easier if you loosen the brackets and then connect the lever and flip it, then screw the brackets back down tight.
And my son was standing by my side and saying "Don't break it, don't break it!". It sure was very scary.
This video took a lot of the stress out of my pc build, I'm very appreciative!
Glad I could help! Thanks...
Please tell me that, The Wraith Prism CPU Cooler is enough for Renderintg and Gaming ??
Yes it more then enough, if your finding it loud and they are, you can go to your Power settings and change the Processor to 50% and the other one there's 3 that will show and you can set it to 50% as well and the CPU will still work at 100% but it will make the Wraith Prism CPU Cooler much quieter, you can also go in and set it in the BIOS to Quiet and you'll all be quiet and work great...
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM wooww.. Thanks. I thought it's Heating too much on Adobe Premiere rendering.Thanks again
@@SLPCLK Oh it'll still heat up if your rendering a video but that's to be expected and perfectly normal...have a great day...
Does that 3 Pin USB control the RGB i had my pre built and they didnt do the CPU core connection and when I Downloaded the wraith prism program it wouldnt recognize my CPU
Yes the 3 Pin USB allows the CPU Cooler Fan (with the RGB Fan) to communicate with the software to control the RGB software using the Wraith Prism Software.
Thanks mate for this video, I like the way you explain everything, it would be better to put download links for the apps you mentioned in the video.
Yeah I'm bad for this, that might be something I work on while I'm off, I'll go to my videos and see if I can add them where needed...Thanks...
when i open wraith prism program, says "plug in your cm device to get started" what can i do???
Just use the USB cable not the RGB as that's usually what causes the area, however you could try unplugging all the cables restart and then shut the system down. Then put the cable back in and restart hopefully that might fix it. Try just the USB though.
Thank you so much. This video was really informative and super wholesome ;').
You're so welcome! Thanks...
My buddy did all of this exactly. It worked perfectly while waiting on graphics card to come in we got the fans and leds up. Graphics card came in...pilot light lights up. None of the fans (wraith), graphics card, box come on at all now or light up but the graphics card gives me the good light (whitish blue) not red (bad light). I’ve unplugged and replugged everything. Any ideas?
I’ve had this on a surge protector when on, and everything off and unplugged while working on it. I’m lost
It's likely a conflict between the two software for some reason. I'd try getting the GPU up and running, and completely uninstall the Wraith Software and then re-install it and hopefully that will fix the issue. You could first try seeing if you can use the MB Software to control it all but it sounds like you tried that already.

Be VERY careful when lining up the cooler with the cpu. I misaligned it at first and it broke one of my cpu pins, rendering it useless
Ouch, yep something to be careful of for sure.
My processor just arrived today and in fact it is the very same one you reviewed. I actually watched this video when i was still planning my build, and now that i have the item in hand i needed a refresher, and this helped, was also taking notes so i will remember everything.
Awesome, enjoy your new CPU and build. Thanks
Great vid but I have a problem where no USB ports work and display doesn’t show either . All the fans and lights work fine . Any suggestions
?
Ensure the cable from the case for the USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 are going from the case to the MB, if they are start checking the case LED pins are all connected to the MB pins...usually JLED1...if all that is ok, go into the BIOS and set it to Load Optimized Defaults...a few things to start with...hope it helps...
Reviewing Playing & More RPM checked the first two but don’t know how to do the last one gonna get it looked at by a pc specialist. As long as the cpu isn’t broken I’ll be fine

question is this a problem? my cpu fan the ryzen 7 3700X sometimes going slower and after when almost stopped going to fast again is that a problem or i need to change it? (I bought it for 3 weeks ago)
Well the CPU Cooler Fan will vary it's speeds depending on what your doing, so it will slow and speed up at different times...I found it was doing that in mine, so I went into the power settings and changed the CPU Performance to 50% and that will reduce the CPU Fan revving up all the time and the CPU will still perform as normal...
Liked and subscribed! I'm waiting for all of my parts to arrive to build my first PC and I've found that you explain everything a lot more clearly.
Awesome, thank you!
I lost my brackets. The Ryzen 5 2600 cooler should be fine right?
The Stock Cooler needs just the backplate, so yes it'll be fine.
Excellent insight, you clearly know how to teach. Please do the other video you mentioned. You're helping people learn something new while we all hunker down. Thanks a million Dennis.

Just bought my dad a Ryzen 7 3700x and the idle temp is around 45-55 C and when running a simple youtube 1080P video it hits around +70C. Also, when I first plugged the CPU into the B450 Aorus Pro Wifi mobo, the fan was extremely loud and kept oscillating from high RPMs to low RPMs...Any suggestions on what i can do to fix?
If you go into the Power Options, go to your Power Plan, click Advanced Settings, scroll to Processor power management, change minimum Processor state to 50%, & Maximum processor state to 50% as well, it will still use all of it but will make the CPU Cooler stop the revving up and down all the time, when doing things it'll still use the full power of the CPU it just makes the fan quieter except when it needs to power up to cool things down like in gaming...hope that helps...
This is the strongest Canadian accent I've ever heard, great video
Thanks! 😃
Hi. I bought ryzen 3700x and msi mpg x570 gaming plus and I have problems with the temperatures. The motherboard's chipset temp is always 60 Celsius degrees and the cpu's temp starts at 45 Celsius degrees and spikes to 60 Celsius degrees and if I try to launch a game it goes up to 80-90 Celsius degrees
That is normal, the X570 chipset's don't downclock and rather than use actual heatsinks, a lot of OEMs opted to have fans blow air over bare metal; and this we end up in the situation we are in, where the MBs now have a fan. You can change the fan profile though to help a little...Thanks...
For what is used the usb cable of the cpu? The motherboard got a usb cable too
The USB Cable is from the CPU Cooler to the CPU Header on the MB, its used in most cases for the CPU Fan, if the Fan has ARGB or RGB there will be a 2nd cable for that as well.
Building this:
Asus ROG Strix x570-e
Ryzen 7 3700x (stock cooler)
Rtx 2070 super 8gb
32gb vengeance 3600mhz 2x16
1tb & 500gb nvme drives
Evga 850w 80+ gold psu
In a fractal design meshify s2 case.
I've purchased 4 more 140mm fans, putting 1 more to front totaling 3 intakes and putting 3 on the roof giving me 4 exhausts including rear. Hardcorw gamer, will I be ok cpu temp wise in your opinion? Thank you in advance.
Yes, all those components will work great together, it'll be a great build...Enjoy...Thanks...
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM thank you very much. Keep up the content. You're very good at what you're doing. I appreciate it.
@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM update, Parts came in, systems up and running. Under load playing games on ultra settings the systems stays between 62C and 70C. You were right. System runs great. 👍 I did modify the fan setup and went with 4 intakes 3 exhausts as well.
@@Dont6Blink9 Awesome, great job with the build, and glad to hear everything is working great...Enjoy those games and more...Thanks...
I bought a prebuilt (Lenovo Legion T5) it comes with the ryzen 7 3700x but not with that cooler. Instead they put a weird not branded cooler on it. Should I replace it with the one in this video? because when I'm playing normal games it gets 95 celcius
95C is very high, I would suggest getting something better like the Hyper 212 EVO it cools well and very easy to install, I've reviewed a few different versions one with RGB as well. I use this more often then others as it just works well but if you want even better temps you could also go with an AIO water cooled radiator.
I know this video is over a year old but if you can answer my question I would greatly appreciate it. I have this exact processor and the RGB lights turn on just fine during boot up but shortly after logging into my PC the fan and ring RGB shut off while the logo RGB continues working. The logo still responds to the cooler master program but not the fan or ring RGB.
There is Software for the Wraith Prism CPU Cooler that works independant of the other system devices and will let you set all the CPU Coolers RGB Colors, if it's not in this video it'll be in the 3800X on, look for the timecodes in the description one of them has it and shows the software and everything about it. Thanks
when i start the software it says "plug in your CM device to get started" i have the exact ssame cooler and proccessor as you. What do you thiink the problem is? It may have due to an incompatibility between the motherboard and the software ( ihave a msi b550m pro vdh wiifi)
You can go to PCPartPicker.com to check out compatibility for your components, but the CM Device issue is usually because you used both the RGB and USB cables, but if you didn't and only used the RGB, try using just the USB Cable only and it should get rid of this error message. Also if your using the USB Cable sometimes removing the cable, rebooting the PC and then turn the PC back off and re-insert the USB Cable as that has been known to fix it as well. Good Luck
Thanks for this video, it really helped me when changing termal paste for the first time :)
It's still running pretty hot, 85c under load, but new paste dropped it from 95 lol
Going to add more fans next, running the case open drops temps even more so I assume airflow is bad.
Btw, the instructions for the USB cable were especially helpful!
Glad it helped you out...temps seem good considering it's under load...Thanks...
Thank you there is no tutorial for installing 3900x the same way you do. The whole youtube is lacking such video, plenty of lame unboxing but no video of putting the cooler on. Thanks a lot.
You're very welcome, glad I could help.
Question is Windows 10 on the bios
BIOS is firmware used to perform hardware initialization during the booting process, and to provide runtime services for your OS & Programs. The BIOS firmware comes pre-installed on the Motherboard, and it is the first software to run when you turn on your PC...
I really need help and does the amd logo on the cooler have to be on the top left because I accidentally put it so the logo is on the bottoms right
The direction won't matter to much, it can go on either way it's just best to have it away from the Memory Slot to give more room to put in the Ram Modules, but most people only use 2 sticks of ram so your good, it it's low profile memory then you'll likely be able to get in 4 if you have that many and they'll go in as well...it won't affect the Ram Speed or anything...Thanks...
I installed the CPU but when I try to change the RGB it just tells me to "Plug in a Device", even tho, obiously, my CPU is already in.. how do I do that?
It's looking for the USB Cable, just double check it's in and that might help, also do you have the RGB Cable plugged in, as that can cause the issue as well, remove the RGB Cable if you have it in and see if that helps...
im upgrading from ryzen 5 3600 to ryzen 3700X hopefully get more frames on warzone, great video well detailed and doesn't seem as hard as people say
It's actually very easy, I mean I'm doing it lol, just take your time and it'll be great.
Probably a very dumb question... but was there like a plastic piece covering the thermal paste? Then you just take off when installingf
There is the plastic it was sitting in, but once removed from the plastic there is nothing else to remove...Thanks...
Dont tough the Board/vga or any other components while PC is on, and without rubber gloves.... Turn off and place the vga, then again its your money on the line.

x470 aorus gaming 7 wifi cf i have this mother board and i have a 1070 is the ryzen 7 3700x compatable?
Some AMD X470 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Matisse CPUs, so it might work out of box or not, if your able to update your BIOS (proceed at your own risk) first then you'll be ok...
Thanks was worried because is REALLY TIGHT that lever...scary was afraid to break it
Yeah I was worried as well, when it's seeming to tight I apply just a touch more downward pressure on the CPU Cooler. Have a great day!
Excuse me i set it up but my pc wont work the power supply is good cuz the fans work and i am sure of the 8 bin is there any solution?
I need a lot more info to figure out any solution, but let's start with ensuring the 8 Pin and 24 Pin from the PSU are fully plugged in, memory is inserted correctly, reseat them if needed and in slots 2 and 4, and then is the CPU Cooler fan turning on, let me know more of what's going on after all this is checked and I'll see if I can provide more info...
What is the difference between the L and H. Playing videogames, should I put it on L or H?
