AMD FX-8350 with NOCTUA NH-U14S

[nearemus]

Hi !
Few weeks ago i decided to put a bad boy cooler on my AMD FX-8350. And it happened to choose the Noctua NH-U14S , because all the others were not available on my country's online market so i had to pick the best of what i have found available.
I am impressed by it's material quality and package aswell as by it's silence, but after few tryes i have found that when i put the cooler's plate (with good thermal paste ofc on it) on cpu it kinda spreads out the compound to it's extremities while the middle of the cpu it's almost clean with no paste on it after i remove the cooler. And it stays too hot for 5 NOCTUA fans on the case and a MSI GTX 1070 that stays at 60 degrees on full load...
I CONTACTED THE NOCTUA AND THEY TOLD ME EXACTLY : ,, The cooler is totally fine, this is normal, because most coolers today are Intel optimized, and Intel cpus are not exactly straight. '' (I have the whole e-mail so i can prove that i'm not bitching around.

The problem is that i still have some faith that i can do anything about it. But momentarily i have no more compound to do more tests but i'll buy another one so i hope you can give me some tips or help about my situation untill that momment.

Btw, i have a stable chip that i managed to set it at 4.8GHz on 1.440 Volts with another cooler (a friend cooler) and worked fine on 60C on AIDA64 for 30 minutes.
While i get over 60C with less OC with this NOCTUA NH-U14S in less than 2 minutes (at 4.5 GHz).

Overclocking a power-hungry CPU like the FX 8350 with a FAN cooler to 4.8 GHz is pretty risky. You would have to expect it of overheat like that. If the classic pea-size thermal paste doesn't work, put more and spread it around the heatsink of the CPU for more coverage. If that doesn't work, invest in a liquid cooler.

I was going to say I agree with tech. I'm running a 4.8ghz oc at 1.46 volts on my 8350 and my corsair h105 has to work at about 85% load to keep the cpu at 60c in my 23c(73f) room

also this article show why u see what you see. as long as your putting ur thermal paste in the middle to begin with your doing it right.

and page 3 shows why the middle will have less thermal paste on the fx8350 compared to the edges of the cpu http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/thermal-paste-heat-sink-heat-spreader,3600-3.html

I also recommend the strip method shown

So, my hope works . I mean, it really could be a solution, that one with spreading the compound on all the cpu block and i will try to put the compound horizontally and not vertcally as i did untill now. I'LL TRY IT TODAY, WHEN I COME BACK FROM WORK.

BTW, the cooler is fine, in your oppinions ?
