Mine isn't terrible under real world loads, and that is with air cooling on "silent", but stuff like Cinebench will push past 100C and throttle the CPU if I don't max the fans out and even then it can hit 100C. Gaming and heavier app use generally sitting around 70C, light to moderate desktop loads 33-37C.

Tried locking the cores, undervolt etc?

I messed about with undervolting a bit but not exhaustively - looks like one of the cores doesn't have a lot of voltage headroom and I can't undervolt enough to make much difference while keeping stock clocks - on the flip side though I can get 4 core 6GHz boost without much added voltage or heat - would probably be a reasonable overclocking chip on better cooling.

I'm using the older Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 cooler though as the newer ones weren't out at the time I bought and I wanted quiet over anything else - with the Dark Rock 5 or 1-2 other air coolers it would stay under 100C.
