Hey there, I'm trying to make sense of this setup. My specs are: 8086k with thermal grizzly Conductonaut, Arctic silver 5 thermal paste for a heat sink, MSI Z370i Gaming pro carbon AC cooler, and AR06 case. I was expecting high temperatures because I put a powerful CPU in a small case, which usually causes heat issues.

Originally, I used a NZXT H200 with a Corsair H80v2 cooler and ran the CPU at 5GHz with a Vcore of 1.3, and everything worked fine. After switching to Node 202, I noticed the idle temps were high even with stock settings. The Vcore was set to -0.01, but I still saw around 60°C idle. I ordered liquid metal paste and applied it properly, making sure the CPU cooler was well-mounted and the paste spread evenly.

My CPU IHS is fairly flat, and after reapplying paste, it stayed stable without any issues. The ambient temperature was about 23°C, and the CPU didn’t even ramp up much. I tried further tweaks—OCing at 47x, adjusting multiplier and voltage—but the temps stayed low. The stock idle voltage is around 1.09-1.05, and the max load temp was about 89°C, with highs in the 70s and lows in the 80s during Prime 95.

I’m really stuck, and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
