Interesting, thanks, I just spent some time to read it in depth. I hadn't disabled AVX instructions in Prime95, which I've just done before testing, and now the temperature doesn't go above 63 C on the stress test. Interestingly, however, Prime Day has the H100i v2 for only $84, so I bought it...

The package temp peaked out at around 82 C (!), with 2 cores peaking at 81 C, one at 72, and the rest in the 60s. After I killed the process package temp almost immediately returned to low 40s C, and after a...
