I just figured out that its cooler mounting issue. I removed the mounting clips from the cooler and i put it on my cpu with me holding it with my hand and it worked fine without high temps even on stress testing.

I tried to re-apply everything, backplate, thermal paste (its not even spreading because it doesn't mount/touches the cpu properly) and the issue remains.

Keep in mind that i don't have the external 1700 mounting kit, since it is supposed to be included in REV 7.

Anyone else has this issue?

rev 7 should be compatible with 1700 socket, the only thing i see that differs from other sockets is backplate washers, check those if you have correct ones installed

I solved this by removing these washers from the front side of the motherboard:

They were blocking the heat from the cooler to CPU.
Thank you all
