I also have a tube of Cryorig CP7 (with CRYORIGH H7 included). Will this be suitable for the line/rice grain method? In case I run out of AS5.
That probably IS a little too much, BUT, I have a hard time believing that's what's causing your problem. I've seen tests where the people literally squeezed something like half a tube onto the IHS and the temps weren't much higher, really. Like 1 or 2 degrees, which is within the margin of error.
I'm not saying that everyone should just run out and do that to THEIR CPU, lol (it can cause more issues than just being too hot), but I'm just saying that I think there's more to your problem.
In any case, definitely redo it, but be careful not to move the cooler too much after you place the it onto the CPU. Could be creating air pockets, which WILL cause you to see higher temps than you should.
I tried the grain of rice the day after beginning this thread and let it burn. The outcome was identical. Temperatures are acceptable at stock levels, but my 4.6GHz OC reaches its limits during stress tests.
Just now I re-applied thermal paste yesterday, and this time I spread it evenly as I have before. It performs better, allowing me to maintain my 4.6GHz OC under stress.
