5800x and 360mm AIO, are my temps too hot?

I'm just installing one in mine today, they should be angled like that and they both should match, you got to really crank on the thumb screws, mines got 3 to 4mm thread sticking out
Talking about the ml360r I assume? That's interesting, the bottom one is like that but the top won't tighten anymore for me?
 
EK AIO 360 basic on 5800X, max temp of 87.9c
5800X is a very hot chip due to density of the die in such a small area, I run mine at 4.8ghz all core.

The person saying they have 5ghz all core either has a 0.0000001% chip or has never stress tested with anything more than CSGO.

Report back when tested.
Got the new cooler today, can confirm I think I had a faulty ml360r. New temps are around 80c at stock, and 82c with pbo + curve optimiser at 4.65ghz all core. I think if I tweak pbo a bit more I can get it to run slightly faster.

Idle temps are also a good 5-10c lower.

New fans are also so much quieter than the cooler master ones (they had a weird vibration noise)

Come to think of it, I wonder if I got a bad unit with the ml360r, pump and fans. Maybe it was damaged in shipping or something. I should have been smarter and returned it or RMA'd it when I heard the fan and pump noise. It all makes sense now.

Suprised it held up for two years tho. So it wasn't completely dead, just slightly damaged maybe.

What sort of pbo settings are you running to get 4.8 all core?

I feel like I have a decent chip, I'm currently getting 4.65 all core. I'm currently working on getting CO as low as I can, currently stable at -24 on nearly all cores (except fastest two).

Not sure what to do to pbo limits tho. And any other settings in bios I should change? I've set my LLC to high (gigabyte) and disabled c states.

None, just an all core OC with 1.26v
 
Does anyone here have a good OC guide for the 5800x now that ive finally got good cooling? So far im playing around with curve optimizer. What's the best order to do things? Ive found that my fastest core is limited to -15. I am using corecycler as well as just idling on the desktop to test for stability. Should i just repeat the same method core by core? So move onto the next core and drop it as far as i can go without errors and WHEAs? Rinse and repeat? From what ive read this is the way to go?
And then once i have found a curve i can work on autoOC and then dropping the curve slightly if needed? What about PBO limits?
 
Some of the AIO's have the bracket slightly offset for the 5xxx series because the hottest place is not in the middle of the chip due to their design. The Arctic coolers do have this option they say it can knock off 5-8c. So it's prob best getting AIO's that are optimised for the 5800x.

I spent hours trying to tweak PBO and stability testing. At the end of the day, the best settings I found were the simplest: lowered vcore to 1.25 and multiplier kept at 46. Any higher voltage, my temps would hit 90c; any faster speed at that voltage, I'd get instability.

5800x is an exceedingly hot and tricky chip, in my experience. Too many cores on a single chiplet. In order to run it at higher stock speeds than 5600x, they needed to crank the vcore past what the density in the chip can handle disbursing heat. 1.45v on this chip is madness.

All core OC? Those days are over, PBO gives better performance. And from what reviews I have seen, 13th gen Intel also gives better performance at stock. I'll get around to putting some of the rig together later, I'll find out.
