It seems that my CPU temps raise as soon as i change the AI Overclock tuner to Manual or DOCP. Even if i just apply DOCP with 3200mhz memory clock my temps raise and i have not even changed any settings for the CPU? Very wierd.. As you can see this is testing an OC'd 1800x with an h100i V2 and getting great temps:

I actually have a Asus Crosshair VI Hero and it has a pre-mounted backplate. Tbh all i can think of is that the CPU IHS is uneven.

I too have a 1600x and a h100i V2 with the same problem. Now i have everything at stock with an idle temp of 35-45, but when i play an old game like MW2 it does sometimes go ut to 70+ degrees. And i cant remember that this was a problem when i first built the system back in 2017. I used to play pubg back then with an OC of 3.9ghz@1.325V with temps around 65c. It might be that the IHS is uneven which makes the temps to raise. And if thats the case, the only thing i can think of is to die-lap the CPU. Not sure tho..
