I was in desperate need for a PC last year, ended up getting a prebuilt from a competitor as they could get what I needed to me in a few days (otherwise of course I would have used our Beloved OCUK).
All was ok, but over the last few months the 5800X has been getting hot, too hot for my liking, 90C at 50% load. Nuh-uh. Most of the issues started happening after a BIOS update, the auto voltage was 1.45 which I thought a bit steep, so I set that to 1.3... Temps were better but still too high for my liking.
After the bios shut the machine down yesterday I decided it was time to investigate the state of the thermal paste...
Ah a beautiful dry spot slap bang in the middle... Cleaned up, reapplied, gone from 90C to 60C. I'd call that a win.
PS Lian-Li, you're mounting method for this AIO is a piece of... work.
