After swapping out my PSU with bad corrosion from the summer, I switched to a Corsair model offering very stable power delivery. This allowed my 7920x chip to reach 4.8GHz. Even with water cooling and a complex setup, my loop temperature stayed around 20°C. To prevent throttling during full-core loads for BoOniC, I reduced TJMAX to 90°C. I'm already experimenting with liquid metal and Artic Silver 5 between the IHS and heat sink, but I'm unsure if it's the best option since some cores overheat while others don't. I don’t recall the exact water block model, but it seems to be an EK gold type. Any tips would be appreciated!

Consider boosting the mounting pressure, meaning increasing the force of the waterblock against the CPU. What lies in between the waterblock and the IHS?

The only "7920X" chip I'm acquiring is the i9-7920X, which reaches a maximum turbo boost of 4.3GHz (or up to 4.4GHz with certain updates). If you push it beyond that to 4.8GHz and enable some all-core boost, I anticipate it will run significantly hotter than anticipated. Additionally, the chip doesn't experience thermal throttling unless it can't sustain base speeds. Turbo boost performance isn't assured.

Oh I know it is more than it's stock, thus why I'm having issues removing heat . It's artic silver 5 between waterblock and IHS. The force is already alot because I'm pretty sure the ihs is a bit domed. I could do what they call lapping but I don't want to wreck it.

What current power level are you applying to the CPU and its processing units?

It was the smallest I've seen, allowing me to go even lower.

You probably won't need this cooler at all. Otherwise, I'd just let it go.

Consider adjusting the CPU input voltage. Typically, overclocking uses 2V, but reducing it might lower heat generation.

I might be near the boundaries of typical cooling. Since it's set to auto, I think it can handle it. The VRM uses water cooling, so it should perform well regardless of what I do—it won't get too hot.

I don't understand, but I'm really frustrated with that movie series. My daughter was crying herself to sleep last night because she wanted to watch it, even though we're super busy over the holidays.
