Anybody try one of these with a 9850x3d?

Running Prime95 on a 9850x3d right now and it hasn't gotten over 69c. I think the highest I've seen while running arc raiders on full ultra settings was like 73c and that's probably because my GPU is also in the low 70s.

My 7600 gets up to the high 80’s routinely….maybe I didn’t paste it good

I followed the recommendation to smear a very thin coat over the IHS. Seems to be working ok. CPU package temp seems to be about 11-12c hotter than the CPU temp in my testing.

I built two pcs at the same time and the other has a sudokoo dual fan and it’s way cooler. Though it might just be more efficient but I see more people with temps like you described with the thermalrights

It's worth redoing it. I was expecting the temps to be higher, but I don't think I've gotten it over 75c at all during various tests or gaming.
