So I think I figured out what the issue I'm having is.
I installed a bunch of 140mm fans and redid the paste on the CPU with Arctic Silver. This made no difference CPU wise, though my GPU is a lot happier.
When I got my system from OC UK one of the screws for the 150i does not sit flush, it's at a slight angle, so the cooler is not making full contact with the die. When I reseated the cooler I had the exact same issue as when it shipped. Full load temps at stock are about 60C, PBO is just flat out impossible to run and crashes.
Don't think there's any issue with the backplate so it looks like a defective cooler.
Definitely explains why my temps are sky high compared to others even with the same cooler.
