10850K temps extremely high

I've definitely noticed that some IHSes can have significant variations in flatness, but it could also be the clamps. Let's see if the Kryonaut fixes it. If it does, please mark the post mentioning Kryonaut as the solution through the button on the post, so others with the same problem will be able to quickly find a good fix.
By the way, if Kryonaut doesn't work as well as you'd like it to, they also sell Kryonaut Extreme, which is more expensive than ordinary Kryonaut but has a thermal conductivity of 14 W/mK, the highest conductivity of any non-metal paste I've ever seen. It's also bright pink, so that may or may not be a bonus depending on how you see it.
Also, great to hear that temperatures are now under control! Since you have such a large thermal margin, you can try raising the all-core clock to 4.5 GHz. I imagine that'd get you to around 80 C, which is still a safe temperature.
So my issue was my cooler being dead. Turned my computer on and heard some terrible sounds from the cooler. Ordered an Arctic Liquid Freezer II to replace the MSI cooler. Seems to have been a very common issue with that specific cooler, good to know after the fact, smh. Applied the Kryonaut with the new cooler and temps are looking great now. Thanks for the assistance you offered, will mark thread as solved.
