Received my 4.9 CPU today, not having a good experience.

I'm getting really bad temperatures with my Kraken X62 on MAX.

The following is at 1.35v

Getting 80c on Core 1
Getting 100c on Core 2 (CPU throttling)
Getting 63c on Core 3
Getting 73c on Core 4

I've tried about five cooler re-seats, all using the thermal grizzly thermal compound which I've now nearly depleted because of this...

Why are these temperatures worse than non de-lidded CPU's I've seen?

That's what's always put me off buying a cpu that isn't in the top tier. I bought a binned cpu from OcUK a long time ago (2000!) but that particular cpu only had one guarenteed speed (P3-650E @ 866mhz).

Sounds as if the replacement TIM between the core and the IHS is missing or hasnt been applied correctly.
