After delidding, not solely did temperatures drop by a minimum of 20 C underneath load, however bundle energy draw dropped by greater than 30 watts. There may be additionally some very fascinating dialogue within the video about AMD’s technique to retain cooler compatibility with the brand new CPUs, which necessitated utilizing such a thick IHS to match the sooner z-height. It appears protected to imagine {that a} thinner IHS would lead to higher thermals, and extra OC headroom.
One other level relating to AM4 cooler compatibility: any cooler requiring using its personal backplate just isn’t appropriate out of the field with AM5, so you’re caught with choices that use the inventory mount till adapters (and AM5-specific coolers) hit the market. However within the new 95 C regular, does it even matter until you’re modifying the processor? In testing, we noticed 95 C underneath load with a 360 mm AiO at 100% followers/pump, which produced loads of noise simply to reside at TjMax.
When you haven’t watched the video, it’s best to actually watch the video. It’s embedded under.
