The title indicates most of the information is accurate. I've repeated the content multiple times for verification. The only P-Core 3 achieves 100°C, with other cores reaching up to 96°C max. This appears to be an IHS concern requiring further analysis or adjustment.
Cooler Master Masterliquid 240L Core ARGB offers a sleek design and efficient cooling performance.
OCCT stress test conducted with maximum pump speed; fan adjusts dynamically based on CPU load. Only a single core hits 100°C, while the next highest reaches 96°C.
That's acceptable. OCCT Stresstest applies an extremely high load. Running some cores at 96c and 100c is normal. Certain cores behave differently from others, and some need more heat or voltage to stay stable. The issue isn't with the IHS, not all cores/silicon are identical. I don’t see anything concerning here.
I believe the numbers you're seeing are around mid-80s during a 30-minute test. I wasn't expecting that much performance and will investigate further. Noticed variations in results with each paste update, which could be useful. Also considering a potential future upgrade.
Discuss this contact frame idea further in the @TSNH thread. Check out the example provided. Consider it if you're handling heavy video editing or similar tasks and notice temperatures reaching 100°C. If you're mainly gaming and only encounter such heat during the OCCT Stress Test, disregard it.
