Thanks for your attention to the parts. The update shows the modification is finally achieving 5.2Ghz, though temperatures remain quite high. I plan to test a fresh thermal paste tomorrow and make sure the cooler is secured better to the CPU socket. My current room temp is around 20°C, which isn’t hot, but I’m seeing about 82°C after just a few cycles. I’ll keep you posted on the progress!
Way beyond normal levels was the Cinebench test. At 5.2Ghz it’s actually quite reasonable. How many Ryzen processors have you used? Do you know what they require for optimal performance?
The performance seems affected by high temperatures during testing. I'm operating at 68°C with a 5450 curve optimization set to -40, using an Intel burn test with 64GB RAM and 5 passes. My system has a large case and four Corsair 140mm fans, plus a six 120mm fan in a push/pull configuration on the Corsair Rad. The average Intel burn time is around 5450 cycles. It looks like the system is struggling because it's reaching 90°C, which slows down the CPU speed. Compared to my other AM5 CPUs, this setup seems normal, but I'm not sure about the case or airflow setup.
