Last question please: I applied noctua thermal paste is it fine or better get thermal pad ?
Ok. I also discovered this high temps when I got my 6800 xt it also a beast but when I moved the gpu to second slot the temps did not change so I guess the problem exists even before I changed my gpu I just did not notice it. I wish if there are better cooler parts I can buy. I disabled zero rpm in the gpu so it run at 72c instead of 80+ but in gaming it reach now 91+Ouch that is hot when i put in my 6900 xt with stock cooler right on top of chipset became really hot to cos it blew hot air on the chip when i ran my 6900 xt on agressive fan profile aka 100% during gaming it would not exceed 68c, now however its on water chipset never exceeds 63c 64c im not sure what temps chipset is rated at but i would not like those temps knowning what i can get.
You wanna keep plastic cover on btw it redirects airflow fan generates towards fins on chipset.
When you move the GPU to the second slot did you check its PCI-E speed? Also the NVMe drives's speed.Ok.
