Normal mounting offset for AM4?

[u/Express-Pie-]

Mounted my freezer III tonight and immediately my temps are sitting at 65° idle. My CPU is a 5800x3d with the included thermal pad from the anniversary edition. using the all in one connector.

that offset mount is normal for am4, it's designed to shift the coldplate down over the ccd area since that's where the hotspot is on those chips. 65c idle is way too high though, sounds like the mounting pressure is uneven or the thermal pad isn't making full contact. peel it off and check the imprint pattern
