As discussed, I was only assigned to one task and wasn't satisfied with it. We switched it to an H7 and temperatures fell around 13 degrees.

It seems you might want this phrase rephrased while keeping its original meaning and tone. Here is a revised version:

You probably applied too much or too little thermal compound; it should be just a small amount, similar to a grain of rice.

Tradesman1 shared their experience about using thermal compound. They mentioned needing only a small amount, similar to a grain of rice. They also described reinstalling the motherboard carefully by placing it on the cooler before putting it into the case, ensuring proper mounting. The placement was precise this time, avoiding spreading. They noted minimal changes in performance.

What is the CPU voltage at?
vcore 1.225, other settings are auto, override mode, running games and daily tasks. It works well at 4.4ghz with temperatures between 60-70°C. Increasing to 4.5ghz seems unstable though, which is unusual.

for 4.5 it might require higher voltage, and a more effective cooler is advisable. I've only used one of these before and didn't really mind. A tower cooler such as an H7 (Cryorig) or 212 EVO (CM) would offer better cooling for around $30

Tradesman1 suggests higher voltage requirements and possibly a superior cooler, noting limited experience with the current setup. They recommend a tower cooler like an H7 or 212 EVO for better performance at around $30. They also question why a less expensive and smaller cooler would be more effective.
