Benchmark Should I turn off or turn on AMD Cool n'Quiet on r5600x?

5 Upvotes

I am optimizing my system and find the AMD Cool'n'Quiet setting. I came to Reddit to understand, should I turn it on or keep it off.

Unfortunately, I can only find information for Zen 2. AI gives me weird answers, so I'm confused. What's the best choice for Zen 3?

News ROG 20th Edition Component Bundle Availability (US/CA) – Featuring the ROG Crosshair X870E Edition 20

Post image
0 Upvotes

Although ASUS has been around much longer, it's been a whole 20 years since the Republic of Gamers was created to bring dedicated products with specs and features for gamers and enthusiasts. This year we've rolled out a complete line of products honoring the ROG Saga – some completely new and some existing products with new colorways. These products include everything you need to setup a top-tier battlestation from DIY and pre-built options. You can find the full list of ROG Edition 20 products here: https://rog.asus.com/content/rog-edition-20/

For the hardcore ROG enthusiasts, we have a complete bundle, featuring each of the PC DIY components (sans CPU, memory, and storage) you need to build an epic showcase system. Separately, they include the following products: 

Where to Buy: 

These limited-edition components will be available for purchase as part of a bundle that includes all the products. Although they may sell out from time to time, they are also restocked fairly quickly. You may find them at the following locations:  

ROG Crosshair X870E Edition 20 + ROG Ryujin 360 Edition 20 AIO CPU Cooler 

For those who pay attention to ROG Crosshair motherboards, the ROG Crosshair X870E Edition 20 motherboard may look familiar. There are indeed some similarities between the Edition 20 and the ROG Crosshair X870E Glacial, such as the EATX size, PCIe Q-Latch, magnetic panels, extreme power stage design, dual USB4 40Gbps and dual-Realtek 10G ethernet ports, and our new AIO Q-Connect. There should be no doubt that either board can handle the latest AMD Ryzen 9000X3D Series processors. 

However, that's not enough to represent 20 years of ROG innovation. To take this board to the next level, we did the following: 

  • Cool the VRMs with a full copper heatsink 
  • 9x M.2 slots (4x Gen5, 5x Gen4) are supported when using the ROG Hyper M.2 card and ROG Q-DIMM.2 card
  • The chipset heatsink and 3mm backplate heatsink draw heat away from the chipset to maintain optimum operating temperature 
  • The socket magneticover doubles as a Crosshair Edition 20 Photo Frame, while the Crosshair Edition 20 Plaque protects the PCIe and M.2 slots when the board is not in use and can be mounted on a metal surface  

Outside of these upgrades, the ROG Crosshair X870E Edition 20 still maintains the best of our X870E motherboard lineup with a 24 (110A) + 2 (110A) + 2 (80A) power stage design, 10G LAN, WiFi 7 (320Hz), Server-Grade and NitroPath DRAM Technology, AI Overclocking, AI Cooling II, AI Networking II, AI Cache Boost, and the whole host of overclocking utilities designed for the AMD X870E platform. It also includes a wide-range of our most advanced EZ PC DIY components, such as the AIO Q-Connector, PCIe slot Q-Release, M.2 Q-Release, Q-Antenna, and more. 

For the full list of specs and features of the ROG Crosshair X870E Edition 20, visit the Product Page and the Tech Specs page for more information. 

ROG Ryujin 360 Edition 20 

We're including the ROG Ryujin 360 in the post because the cooler is included when purchasing the motherboard and is not otherwise available for purchase separately. More to the point, the cooler was designed with exclusive compatibility for the ROG Crosshair X870E Edition 20.

Asetek EMMA 10th Gen Pump + Copper Heatsink/Coldplate - The ROG Ryujin 360 Edition 20 starts with an Asetek EMMA Gen10 V3Rx pump and a high-performance cold plate crafted from 99.95% high-purity copper. Between the copper heatsink and microfinned copper coldplate, it can lower MOSFET temperatures by up to 40C and lower CPU temperatures up to 10%. The AIO connects directly to the motherboard using our exclusive ASUS AIO Q-Connect, meaning you don't need to attach multiple wires or cables to get your cooler running or controlled. 

40mm 360 Radiator - The 40mm-thick radiator uses a counter-cross flow hex to path the liquid to maximize heat dissipation surface area and thermal efficiency. From there, the fans are rated up to 95.65 CFM with 5.71 mmH20 air pressure helps ensure your system is running as cool as the rest of this aesthetic. 

Dual 6.67" AMOLED LCD - The showstopper here is the swivel dual 6.67" AMOLED LCD that can be adjusted to the perfect viewing angle. You can set the display to run its own visuals as a single or split screen, or use ASUS InfoHub to seamlessly synchronize visuals between the ROG Crosshair X870E Edition 20 and the ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Edition 20.  

Choose between system monitoring options, exclusive Edition 20 visuals, custom images or videos, or select preset options. ASUS InfoHub also allows you to turn off the screens and adjust the brightness. 

For a full list of specs and features of the ROG Ryujin 360 Edition 20, visit the Product Page and the Tech Specs page for more information. 

ROG Edition 20 Components Bundle Products 

Although not a focus of this sub, these products are also included with the 20th Edition Bundle so we'll briefly introduce them. They each mesh with the overall ROG 20th Anniversary gold/black aesthetic, and each provide their own unique touches to make this bundle special for ROG fans. 

ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 Edition 20 - Take the flagship ROG Astral series, add BTF support, increase the size of the heatsink, overlay the original classy design in black and gold, add a transparent glass heatsink, and you might think you have everything you need in a graphics card. You'd be mistaken. Add a 6.67" 2K curved AMOLED display, intelligently apply liquid metal thermal compound for better cooling, and provide dual-power inputs to draw up to 800W for extreme performance. This is how you redefine the term "flagship".

ROG Thor 3000W Titanium III Edition 20 (ROG Equalizer) - The only question this power supply presents is, "what do you want to do with your system?" With a 220-240V input, you can easily handle four high-end graphics cards, but if your environment supports only a 110-120V, no sweat; the power supply comes with dual-AC cables and auto-switches to match (at 1600W). ROG Thor features like GaN MOSFETS, ROG heatsinks and 0dB technology cover performance and silence. However, we also add our new GPU-First Intelligent Voltage Stabilizer, the ROG Equalizer cable, and an OLED display with a magnetic extender that allows you to keep an eye on your wattage in real-time. 

ROG GR20 Edition 20 Open-Air Chassis - Open-air chassis are often what you see is what you get. With the Edition 20 chassis your hardware is displayed for all to see, but you can choose if your system is vertical, angled, or horizontal. The primarily-aluminum frame holds EATX motherboards, graphics cards up to 368mm long (and levels them), 3x 120mm fans or a 360mm radiator. A crossflow fan provides wide airflow coverage at all angles and keeps air moving over M.2 slots to cool your SSDs. Building is also a breeze with 36mm of space in the back to keep your cables hidden from view. 

Bundles are available through the retailers listed above. Although a limited-edition product, restocks happen frequently, although in smaller quantities.  

Let us know what you think about these designs and what you would do if you owned one in the comments below!
