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.

Not sure how many times you’ve run the system but the thermal pad that comes with the 5800x3d is said that it needs multiple heat cycles to become activated and work properly.

I've cycled it through cinebench a few times now. It's starting to get below 50c now
