I bought this MSI OC model 2nd hand and gaming at 1080p 144hz gets the temps up to 85c+. It reached 89 last night at which point I powered down. Today I've been gaming at 100hz and it tops off at 84c.
The heatsink is only about 12 mm thick. I don't think it's particularly efficient.
I could re-sit the cooler, if so would I be putting the paste under all those thermal pads? Maybe replacing the pads? If I were to change the cooler, any better suggestions? I have case fans blasting in and no problem with cpu temps.
Thanks for any help
Edit: I eventually went with: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/raijintek-morpheus-ii-high-performance-vga-cooler-hs-027-rt.html , installed two 120mm fans and temps at previous specs maxed at 55c. Overclocked to 1475/3700 it maxes at 61c.
