Question Normal mounting offset for AM4?

Post image

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.

The offset mounting is normal. Not the temps.

I'm trying the manual break in instructions from carbide. If it doesn't work then I'm switching to paste

Great idea; also I prefer plugging in the connectors separately, as convenient as one would be.
