AMD 5950X

In my small amount of experience with zen 3, it's easy to make these CPUs get HOT. The 5950x in particular is not easy to keep under 80c without water cooling, it's possible if you get a good chip and do some very fine tuning but if you just do a quick and dirty pbo/all core OC yeah the 5950x will be running 80-90c easy and drawing 250-300w
Got any tips? Mine is a little toasty and I’m in need of a little help on what to tweak
 
Well i might of been premature after about 4 hours of fine tuning the menory i got 17100 high score on time spy average 16500. I still can only hit 4.6 all core thats on a 280mm aio and yes very easy to hit high temps. The most annoying thing is im about 300 points off top 100 in time spy and try as i might i just cant get over the threshold lol
