Hey, your setup sounds solid but the temperatures you're seeing might be a bit high. It's not uncommon to hit 86-87°C when pushing the CPU to 4.7V, especially with the cooler and motherboard in place. Check if the cooler is properly seated and if the CPU cooler is functioning well. Also, ensure your BIOS settings are optimized for higher voltages. If it's still too hot, you might need to revisit the voltage or consider a better cooling solution.
Have you adjusted the cooler’s fan profile to performance mode or applied a manual curve that increases fan speed on the radiator sooner?
What type of case are you using?
How many case fans are active?
Where are these case fans positioned?
Are each fan location configured as intake or exhaust?
Where is your radiator installed?
Have you removed the protective plastic film from the bottom of the pre-applied thermal interface material before mounting it?
Have you verified all mounting screws?
What temperatures are you experiencing during idle?
