I personally can't wait to ditch the 570-E. Layout of the chipset fan sits right smack dab in the middle of a beefy GPU in the 1st slot. Add in to install/remove the m2 drive you need to unscrew said chipset fan cover(non captive #$@@#%^@#$ tiny screws) then the 2 heatsink screws. After removing the GPU btw, which isn't exactly the easiest considering the lock tab for the slot is about 3/16" away from the heatsink for the top m2 as well as the chipset cover. I don't know if there are gen4 cards that don't sacrifice speed, but looking into that in the 1st slot and moving the GPU down to clear the chipset fan would be my first inclination.

Yeah would love that ability to move it to the second monitor.

Except he's blatantly wrong.

As AMD stated, it's multiple monitoring systems causing conflicting issues, be it ICUE(even without the dashboard monitoring specifically) HWINFO, Ryzen Master, Afterburner, Geforce Experience, etc. They also stated that the only one working properly with the way the cores are going to sleep is CPU-Z. I load up CPU-Z i get voltages running between .480V to 1.4+V with fluctuations all over in between depending on cores etc. On my stock 3700X. Opening 2 or more causes them to head off the reservation. CPU-Z/Master Whatever combination you'd like, CPU-Z reports voltages @1.48V with only minor fluctuations down to say 1.45(Woo!). Shutting down the second/third/6th monitoring tool, CPU-Z goes back to reporting correct voltages within seconds.

I(along with others) may be running into teething problems on the new x570 and Ryzen platform, but Memory ain't one of them. My Vengeance LPX CMK32GX4M2b3200C16 kit was the least of my OC problems. It's currently running at the BIOS stock speed of 2133 after Flashing bios while chasing voltage issue but it held 3600@CL16 if you ignored the DOCP profile and did it manually. Seriously, Ignore the DOCP 3200 setting, came back with CL,tRCD,tRP in the 20's.

So, according to https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/cbls9g/the_final_word_on_idle_voltages_for_3rd_gen_ryzen/ this post on reddit from AMD, this is going to be a common issue with background monitoring software. Not ICUE(or other monitoring software) causing extremely high voltages.

The H100i is installed according to the instructions. pump connected to USB header on bottom of MB, Fan attached to the correct CPU_Fan header(Bios throws a error if connected to the 2nd CPU_Fan) and the RGB 4 pins connected properly to #1&2. Changed to a different USB header, still no change.

Ok, did that and Lost the H100i in the ICUE dashboard. Voltages again immediately jumped to showing 1.45-1.48 constant. When I shut it down, they drop back down to .500v -1.3v right away.

I've seen that video, and it made me triple check everything. The CH8 bios is different than the 570-E, and even setting manual voltages down(mine weren't waay off like his were on that board) didn't fix it.

Built my new 3700X on a Strix 570-E with a new H100i Platinum SE cooler. Long story short, with ICUE running core voltage was pegged @1.45+V constantly at system idle, just watching CPU-Z(the accurate voltage read according to AMD in their reddit responses). After shutting down stuff in the background with no changes, I got to ICUE. The minute I shut it down, voltages began showing the expected fluctuations, down to below .5V. Bios, drivers, windows up to date, using basic auto settings(memory not even OC, running at 2133). Don't know whats causing the issue, but really would like to have ICUE running to control my peripherals(keyboard,mouse,headset and AIO). Not sure if it's a ICUE problem, AMD problem, or ASUS problem, anyone got any ideas?

I built my current system about 2 years ago consisting of: Crystal 570X White Ryzen 1600X Asus Crosshair hero VI 32GB White Vengeance LPX 3200 (2x8GB)(White) H60 120MM AIO Asus Strix Vega 56 CX 650W PS(Maybe 750, can't remember) 2 generic 120MM fans I had lying around in the old case. Setup is 3x stock SP120 in the front(intake) H60 Top/front(Exhaust-Pull) Generic 120MM Top/Back(Exhaust) Generic 120MM Back/Exhaust. It's time to upgrade, so monday I'll be grabbing a Ryzen 3000(which one is still tbd) along with a 570 Crosshair Hero 8. I've been in love with the white H100i platinum SE since it's release to further the white theme of the build. Would do configuration like this after upgrade; 240MM Rad Front/top (Pull) 120MM LL120 bottom(intake) 2xSP120MM Top/Exhaust 1xSP120MM Back/Exhaust. Actually, since I need at least 1 LNP as well as 1 more white fan, I might as well grab a three pack of white LL120(with Node) instead of just the 1 and node and go with a push/pull on the AIO. Problems with this setup?
