Fixing the 13900H (ES) Overheating - 10729 ITX Motherboard

Alright, I heard you all loud and clear. I removed the heat spreaders from the 32GB 3600 kit, and here are the results. be quiet! Pure Rock LP: Overall: 10,285 Graphics: 12,047 CPU: 5,6,25 ID-COOLING IS-55 (w/2666) Overall: 10,226 Graphics: 12,029 CPU: 5,531 ID-COOLING IS-55 (w/3600) Overall: 10,331 (+1.0%) Graphics: 12,020 (-0.1%) CPU: 5,753 (+4.0%) Still not the butt-kicking I expected with the CPU staying at 95W vs 79W, but now at least it beats the be quiet score.

15:30 the memory speed did impacted the score i think

I'd say the IS-55 is working really well, so well that u got basically same results with 2666 ram vs 3600, now find lowprofile 3600 ram and retest for the real diff :)

Its the slow memory yo Im impressed it even got same results

I'm all here for this revision type video, getting more tweaks for it to get better!! Btw great tech tech potato shirt. The conclusion is very true, one has to test everything

love the troubleshooting homelab content! Can't wait for the Hyper-V video to drop!

lol 2666mts? thats slowing thins down

I am glad I watched this video purely for the fact that I now know I am not crazy with the ID-40X issue. I had the same problem. Also thank you I love your videos!

Maybe the RAM is reason why the 3dmark benchmark score is higher when using bequiet

"Standard height memory" What I've done in the past is to shuck the heat spreaders off the memory, that usually reveals something close to, if not exactly, standard height sticks. Probably voids your warranty, but, I've never had any memory issues doing this. Also never tried it with DDR5 which, tends to be thirsty for cooling.

TimeSpy is very memory sensitive. As others have pointed out, that's the difference. You can easily get 10% CPU score in TimeSpy by overclocking RAM and tuning timings. For reference, I have a system with an i3 10100F and 2666Mhz RAM without tuned timings that scores ~4500 in TimeSpy CPU. An FX8350 system with everything overclocked and RAM properly tuned down to the tertiaries scored around 3600. That's on a Wraith Prism, not an amazing cooler or anything.

Lots of youtubers sell merch, but yours is far more inventive.

Tea review! An unexpected but welcome surprise. Gonna order a tin! Harney's "Holiday" black tea is my current go-to for black tea.

Run be quiet now with this memory.

You should check out the Thermalright AXP90-x53 Full Copper. No clearance issues and performs better than the IS-55. You could also just remove the heat spreaders off the 3600 ram. That cooler has direct airflow over the dimms

Good but it would have been interesting to just test with your added shim and the bequiet cooler also a feeler gauge (for checking the gapping of spark plugs) can be super handy for checking contact

Great video bud. I honestly think your ram is your draw back. Might be worth finding a good set without heat spreaders. Maybe even a higher speed like 4K minimum

I can confirm from my in person viewing of the machine at PDX-LAN that she was a toasty boi of a machine...

Have you consider using a Graphene sheet like Thermal grizzly Carbonaut or Kryosheet? You would have to cut one to fit the actual CPU but, it may yield more stable results than thermal paste in some cases. I have a hunch it may help with the BeQuite Heatsink and you wont have to sacrifice on RAM.

I'm a big fan of the IS-55. I have one in a SFF OEM system cooling an i7 9700. Removing the power limits, and running R23 for 30 minutes straight it has it sitting in the mid 80's pulling down about 115 watts. I'm thinking about swapping it out for the IS-67 XT, which might even be a little better. I put one with my nephews new system I'm helped him put together in the ridge and it was cooling the i5 13600K @ 150 watts in the low to mid 80's as well. ID Cooling is really killing it. Too bad that won't fit in this setup, but it seems the IS-55 is holding up.
