Thanks, that makes sense (especially since I've disabled c-state). I'm going to do one last reseating of the cpu block tonight after I drain the system and put the jet plate back in. Any other tips or suggestions?

I’ve disassembled the block twice and actually removed the jet plate since the last time I noticed very small debris (perhaps from dust or solder in rads) blocking flow. I didn’t notice much of a difference with/without this piece. The inlet (intake closer to center) is fed directly from the...

That’s a fair point. How do you/others define idle with regards to temp? Terminating all non-essential processes in task managaer then letting things settle? And what about power management settings, which surely impact thermals.

Unfortunately, I’ve tried doing that and while I get 27/28 in BIOS, idling in windows still jumps to ~47
