What issues are present with my CPU?
rice grain size isn't ideal for the ihs on amd chips; spreading it helps because of the larger die size. also, 120 aio aren't optimal for the ryzen 7 3700x. wraith is pushing it on that processor too. consider using a thermal right burst cooler or an aio 240.
A skilled killer would suit that role well. Affordable yet effective.
Times seem to be getting better, but I might stick to caution and buy some fresh thermal paste. I think I'm pushing it since I got it about 4 or 5 years ago.
When I used the rice method and took the cooler off, it spread evenly, so I'll try the 5 dots.
Thanks for the tip!
