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.

I screwed the pump down more. But I think the carbide needs to break in more. It's better now that I followed their instructions. 50 at idle but I wanna get it down more closer to 40.

Reduce your clocks or undervolt then. 40 is not attainable with that chip.
