Sorry I'm pretty tired, I get the weird result with MSE :
MSE on - lower temps
MSE off - higher temps
I used noctua NTH-H1 thermal paste, which I read reviews about and it should be pretty good. [Unless you meant the thermal transfer of the chip itself is bad] . I mean I could post a picture of the CPU tomorrow if it could help.
My screws are pretty tight, I checked it before I posted the thread.
Honestly I'm not sure so that's why i'm asking. My CPU speeds are stock, the reddit guy is running at 5.2 Ghz which is much higher than mine, so I guess getting 100 c is normal for him?
However it seems like people are getting 50 c at stock speeds with AIO coolers under load, so my temps seems pretty warm.
However you are the second guy who says these temps are normal, then I could be completely wrong.
