I used the conductonaut on both the Ryzen 1600 and Evga CLC 280 cooler, but the temperatures stayed at 70°C with no improvement. What might be causing this issue?

You used thermal paste on both the top of the CPU and the bottom of the water block on your CLC?
That’s not recommended. Only apply TIM to the top of the CPU lid, not to the bottom of the cooler or waterblock base.
There are a few potential reasons: you might have applied too much paste, the airflow through the radiator setup could be incorrect, or the mounting pressure between the CPU and waterblock isn’t sufficient.
Check that you’re using the right adapter for AMD, as most kits include backplates and mounting hardware for multiple configurations.
Additionally, consider using plastic washers between the backplate and motherboard to widen the gap between the threads and screws. Some boards are thicker, while others may have fasteners that get crushed without proper pressure.
It’s likely one of these factors or an excess of paste is the issue. Or perhaps you’re tracking the wrong sensors.
