So after a long time I could do some testing again. It seems stable now even if streaming on 1440p. Looks good so far. So the thermal paste and bigger cooler worked out. Thx for all of your help!

@narrdarr Thx, I'll give feedback.

I think Hwinfo is giving me wrong info. When I stop the stress test the clock speed of every core goes even higher. While Ryzen Master is showing lower speeds. Next update BTW: I also turned the middle and the top front fan for a better airflow. Looks like this now (Red= single fan direction, green= theoretical airflow): Some more results: When starting a stress test: Temp peaks up to about 82C° and stabilizes afterwards at an average 74C°. Clock at around 4.125 MHz Idle is now on 52C° and lower, so this part is way better in my opinion. It seems like the cooler can't compensate the peaks.

Hey all together, Update-Time! So the cooler was delivered 2 days ago, but I couldn't install it until today. After installing this huge piece of ****, I did some testing and the results are.... confusing? But one more thing, because I did some building tweaks. I turned around all the top and the rear fans, because I also had to install the cooler the other way round. (Yes there might be some problems with pushing the hot air out) But besides that, the temps are inconsistent now. In idle on full fan speed I get temps around 57C° On 100% usage with prime95 I get some around 75C°. In the beginning they are stable, but after time they get worse, up to 82C°. But that is probably caused by the hot air being stuck in the case. (I will fix that later) So in conclusion: It seems better now but I need a better airflow and some longer testing to confirm it. Stay tuned!

Thx, but a fan on the other side would collide with the heat spreader of the RAM.

I think I'll give the bequiet! a try. I will give feedback afterwards.

Yeah, this will be the problem, though my case is huge. What are these coolers designed for ? Big Big Tower?

But there has to be something I can do

I think it is the CoolerMaster Mastergel.

The financial part is no problem, as I frequently build PC's for other people, so I can reuse the parts there. The next question is, if another TP would change something, for example the "Thermal Grizzly" products. And another: Are those pads a good alternative?

Would you say, that the suggestion of@narrdarr, using an even better cooler, is worth a shot? Because I think it is a "temp from CPU to radiator" problem.

I already thought about delidding and using liquid metal, but I don't know if it is worth it. I saw some benchmark that displayed no big difference.

The last 2 AIO I ha, were leaking. That's why I don't like them. I mean they call it "Closed loop", but it is not closed. In that way it is wasted money in my opinion.

The fan is pulling the hot air. I had to turn it like this, because of dimensional issues with the RAM. I already disabled that one.

Yes there is a hard stop. I stopped when it got harder to turn. I was afraid that the thermal paste would be pushed out to the sides. Btw before i repasted it, there was less paste in the center. As an addition for "after repaste": On load the temp jumps up to get back down to 70C°, rising back up slowly to 90C°. In idle the temps are lower now. It is confusing. To my case: I turned around the front and the middle top fan. So far I can say that the airflow is better now.
