My case: SilentiumPC Gladius M35W (1 intake fan 120mm, 1 out fan 120mm)
My fan: be quiet! Dark Rock 3 (not pro)
My thermal paste: Thermal Grizzly
Ambient temperature: ~22 degrees Celcius
I am currently trying to OC my 7700k and when I get to 4,7GHZ with 1.3V, my temps in OCCT (with AVX on) can get up to 95 degrees celcius.
Is there a way for me to improve cooling, aside from de-lidding my CPU or switching to water cooling? I am sure that fan is sitting correctly on top of my CPU and that there was no excessive amount of thermal paste applied - it's also pretty "fresh" (applied it like 1-2 years ago).
I've also cleaned the inside of my case 2 weeks ago (including case fans, cpu fan etc)
