Concerning temps with an NH-D15

If you are pushing the same voltage as Gamers Nexus did with a 10900K to reach 317W:s, it definitely is not a faulty cpu causing those problems. Try 420mm or 360mm rad if you need that high of an oc over the stock 130W:s.

 

I sent my CPU back to intel and they confiscated it

I had to buy another one which does indeed run a bit cooler but still its pretty bad at stock speeds.

I have no idea what the problem is.

I went to repair shops and they said the airflow is good and everything.

Nobody can figure out what's happening.

They confiscated it?

 

Why?

I have the same CPU and motherboard. My CPU was super hot until I updated the bios. My motherboard shipped the F3 version of the bios and according to the Gigabyte website, the i9-10850k was not supported until version F5 or 6. Once I updated my bios, my CPU dropped 10°. I can now hit 5.1 GHz all core at 1.210 volts instead of the 1.380 volts that it was running prior to the update.

Nice! They made sure you got a good one this time

For an inexpensive attempt to resolve this, give Geild GC-Extreme paste a try.
3.5g tube on Amz $10
Stuff applies like magic.
Carbon tech with a suspected installed working life of - infinite? > 8 years

Much better than the AS5 and the original Noctua pastes in benchmarks.
Curious how the second Noctua release works...

Was much less expensive than the Cooler Master MasterGel Maker Nano is now.
The tube I bought in 2017 from MicroCenter was $15, it's mounted 5 CPU's and 2 NVIDIA graphics heatsinks and I still have about 1/4 tube left.
It's too old to use, by my reckoning.
That is also a great paste, or it was for the 2017 batch I bought for my wife's new build.
4 years later and I could have reused it.

Rule of thumb:
Newest BIOS is a must.
Unlike the days of yesteryear (15~25 years back) Flashing a BIOS is relatively painless, easy and far less hazardous.
Disable all overclocking before attempting to flash it.

I'm discovering this now because of an old ASRock AB350M Pro4 build, still had the 3.0 BIOS from the box.
At Rev 5.10, only 3 more to go. XD
No problems until performing some upgrades.
On the other hand, running 32GB of DDR4 3000 16,18,18 no problem now
