Help needed with CPU and cooler

[stable estuary]

I've got an AMD r2600 on a b450 mother board, I'm trying to set it up with a cryorig h7 cooler. I would expect that this cooler having a tdp of 140W Should be able to cool my 65W tdp CPU. However when I run cinebench the temps still climb to 90C and thermal throttles to around 3.5 GHz. I've mounted it multiple times in a few different ways to make sure it's making as good of contact as it possibly can. I'm using Arctic mx-4 thermal compound. And I also searched up videos of other people testing this cooler not on my CPU specifically but their temps seem to stay well below 75C Is this what I should expect from an upgraded cooler or is there something that I'm not seeing.

did you remove the plastic cover from cooler

[stable estuary]

There is none, I got this cooler used from my sister. Air flows freely through the fin stack

I also dusted it out before putting it in

[vague socket]

Is the ihs touching the die at all?

Of that coler was used in an intel system and you reused ie the intem standoffs the cooler won't make contact

[stable estuary]

Yes, so I've mounted and remount with and without the standoffs and it made a small difference but if it's not properly contacting the die now then I'd need to modify the mounting screws to have more threads

[stable estuary]

Which I might be able to do id just have to measure the threads

If it helps here's what the thermal paste spread looks like after mounting

[vague socket]

Not enough paste on the top right corner

Remember this cpu has 3 silicon dies to cool any am4 chip does

[stable estuary]

I can try that, I'll also take a picture of what the thermal paste is at the moment when I didn't use the standoffs

[vague socket]

Well show me how you apply

[vague socket]

Use a different cooler at this point without standoffs you risk bending the board or backplate which won't be good

[stable estuary]

The thermal paste syringe I have has measures along the side, makes about a pea sized ball in the middle

[vague socket]

Do a checker pattern of 9 small like half pea sized dots pn the ihs

It's how I do it and it usually spreads evenly

[stable estuary]

Ok, I'll try that after I eat

[vague socket]

Don't retry that cooler

Just get a new one

Even a cheap one like this https://www.amazon.com/Thermalright-Assassin-SE-Heatpipes-TL-C12C/dp/B09Y869Z8B/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?keywords=King+120+se&qid=1696458982&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1

This cooler will keep the cpu chill and help with future upgrades

Iirc this cooler can do up to 170w tdp which basically covers most of am4

[stable estuary]

I'm gonna give it another try, but if it doesn't work I will probably get a different cooler

[vague socket]

I'd not reccomed it

[vague socket]

Please don't it might damage your board without the standoffs

[stable estuary]

No I'll put the standoffs back

[tawdry whale]

i have this but white argb

[vague socket]

I know

[tawdry whale]

was £14.90

[tawdry whale]

howwww

[vague socket]

What cpu do you have ?

[tawdry whale]

.......10100f

[vague socket]

I got that cooler but haven't gotten the rest of the pc yet lol

[vague socket]

Rx 580?

[tawdry whale]

570 8gb

[vague socket]

Meh

Should've gone for a diff cpu and gpu combo imo

[tawdry whale]

it was a £400 budget

this build was £420

[vague socket]

Should've saved up ngl

[tawdry whale]

i wanted to have good aesthetics and performane

[vague socket]

Like saved up more

[tawdry whale]

bro i only play fortnite....at 60fps

[vague socket]

Well you got aesthetics but nearly no performance for the money

[tawdry whale]

on max settings it can do 200fps
