You need to apply it yourself before you put the cooler on, and if you cant recall doing that, then you may be running without thermal paste. Did you ever touch this little tube under the installation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you forget to remove the plastic tape from the bottom of the cold plate on the cooler before installation? Apparently, someone on a reddit forum did the same thing and are experiencing thermal throttling. (as expected, this will impair cooling performance) After removal, it's perfectly good now.

I am using a standard ATX pc case I think AIO's are junk, so you wont see me recommending them pretty much ever. But if you don't like your cooler, I like my Thermalright FC140 quite a bit. But yours should be ok, unless you have something else going on.

I haven't bought the AIO cooler yet. There's too many options to choose from. I will remind myself to remove the plastic tape from the bottom of the cold plate. for example, with corsair alone. the options are: Corsair iCUE H115i RGB PRO XT Liquid CPU Cooler 213 CAD Corsair iCUE H115i RGB PRO XT Liquid CPU Cooler 176 CAD Corsair Hydro H115i RGB Platinum CPU Cooler 194 CAD Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX Liquid CPU Cooler 222 CAD Corsair iCUE H170i ELITE CAPELLIX Liquid CPU Cooler 265 CAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 31, 2021 Drp4 is a really good air cooler, similar to nh d15 performance wise which should be able to cool a 5950x Unless you have your cpu auto overclock or something the cooler should be adequate, maybe try putting on the thermal paste again, though since ryzen has multiple chiplets i think drawing an x with the thermal paste is preffered for ryzen cause it isnt a single monolithic die like intel where you can get away with a small pea of thermal paste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 31, 2021 7nm is no joke.. People say these run really hot.. not really.. but they can if you let them. I have mine set to boost over 5GHz, and she does with no problem. For TIM application on Ryzen, I have been using the spatula. My Intel methods do not apply here.

Posted October 31, 2021 What motherboard are you using? Are you using default bios settings? What case are you using and how is the system airflow setup? What rpm are your fans at under load? Are temps any better with the side panel off? Have you tried reseating the cooler? The pea method for thermal paste application is alright but the X-pattern is probably better for full coverage on a 5950x.
