is my AIO deffective?

I overclocked my 7500f so that it uses 115W during a cinebench test, but I noticed that it hits 80 degrees and stays there, even though i'm using the liquid freezer 3 360. I'm using a thermalright contact frame, and I also checked that there are no air bubbles in the thermal paste. The fans are a bit loud, but the air coming from the radiator is slightly warm at best. Temps are the same no matter if i'm using a silent preset, or the regular one for the pump

80 is fine in the first place, and you're likely mostly limited by the die-IHS thermal resistance on those low TDP CPUs regardless of the cooling anyway.

Don't all AM5 CPUs have the same IHS? How are they cooled then, if it's limiting my CPU here?

The IHS is the same, but the die is smaller resp. there's only one of them instead of multiple so the contact area between them is smaller and thus can't transfer as much heat.

I actually set the fans and the pump to 20% max, and the temps remained the same, so you're right
