Now sat at 5.0 @ 1.35. Max temp across all cores came in at 76 degrees after 4 hours of prime 95.

Delid is king!

Delid with paste or LM? Toasty chip if LM...

LM. Used conductonaut. You reckon it’s still toasty? Hasn’t budged above 56 when gaming and streaming

Spent some Xmas money on a new AIO. Upgraded from the Thermaltake 280 to the 360. Also changed case to Lian-Li PC-011 Dynamic, so i’ve now got another 3 fans on intake.

Upped OC to 5.2, still at 1.35. Left Prime95 running for 4 hours - max temp is 64 degrees. Very happy!

Used to get 5Ghz on my z270 board but can only get 4.7Ghz on my replacement z370 board as I only get bluescreens with anything above so far
