sorted byThe ILM mounting bracket is not applying force to the CPU evenly causing it to bend slightly, causing IHS and cooler plate to not make full even contact.
So you either you use a fair amount force to secure the cooler or you get a contact frame and fix temps that way or lower the voltage slightly and a combination of these means lower temps still class leading performance and room to overclock.
For context, I was hitting 100c with an AIO within seconds of running cinebench, it didnt down clock too much stayed almost always at 5.1/3.9. I tried changing voltages and settings in the BIOS nothing was able to make the system stable.
I then added the contact frame and hitting max 80c! Now this gives a chance to undervolt + overclock! I'm sure I can get 5.4/4.2 or so since there is enough temperature headroom.
My score was a little lower than others it would seem, but I'm more than happy with the performance and probably won't bother getting round to overclocking or undervolting any time soon since it handles everything else I do with ease and at very decent temps. It's such a great CPU.
