Ima get a new aio tomorrow which one should i get im leaning towards artic freezer 3 or asus rogI find it hard to believe that the default settings on a motherboard would be "full overclock, please melt my CPU". Doesn't make any sense. I have a 9800X3D and enabling PBO changes almost nothing on my temp. And at stock (no curve optimization), it can go above 90c during heavy tests like Cinebench, but barely reaches 60 during gaming. And the default settings on this Asrock board would be to heat it up to 95c while gaming? And getting 120W+ with the 9800X3D is not unusual under load: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d/23.html
I bet the problem is either with the cooler, or the cooler installation.
I would personally avoid artic freezer. Go with Asus or even better, Corsair.Ima get a new aio tomorrow which one should i get im leaning towards artic freezer 3 or asus rog
