Conductonaut is most effective in a direct die-IHS or die-cooler interface. Once the heat has been transferred to the IHS it isn't going to make quite as much difference as there is more room for thermal transfer between the heatspreader and the cooler. You might see a degree or two.
Of course it's possible you used too much or too little, I would double check your installation.
Usually the temperature bottleneck is between the die and the IHS in recent Intel chips, which is why delidding them is popular right now.

That 70c is pretty high for a 1600. what is your overclock?
3.95ghz 1.38vcore. I want to point out again this is tctl/tdie temperature

its still pretty high given the voltage and chip. my 1700 is cooler with a smaller rad and more voltage running AIDA64.
what could be the issue?
3.95ghz 1.38vcore. prime95 small fft
yesYou put liquid metal between the IHS and the cooler?
Generally the practice is to delid the cpu, remove thermal coop, replace with Conductonaut. Refit cpu lid. Apply kryonaut/arctic silver to outside of lid and refit heatsink. This is due to potential corrosive/reactive nature of conductonaut with copper.
That's not the paste to use between IHS and cooler.
coppers fine with conductonaut. Aluminum however is a big no no as it will effectively eat it away in no time.
You won't see much of a difference to be fair and it isn't really the correct TIM to use between IHS and cooler due to the problems with increased risk of spillage + thus shortage and a dead board and or CPU.
Conductonaut is best with things like GPU-cooler. Or when a CPU is delidded. Its not worth it on IHS to cooler, due to transfer issues. As there is a lot of metal and paste to transfer the heat through, CPU-TIM-IHS-TIM-Cooler.
Enough to mean that a good quality paste vs conductonaut is going to be a few degrees either way. Conductonaut is best on nice flat surfaces with a thin film and an IHS can be all over and are usually quite concave.
Not worth the risk in my opinion. Just swap back to something like grizzy kryonaut.

I will swap back to noctua nt-h1
I would not want Conductonaut contacting anything but nickel plated surfaces .. surfaces that do not gallium. conduconaut uses gallium. Gallium alloys with other metals in some case eating / destroying them. On copper the metal ions will migrate in to the copper metal, gradually creating a copper-gallium alloy that is grey-silverish in color. Gallium on aluminum is well .. just google "Condutonaut on aluminum cooler" and look at the videos.
