Will replacing Pre-Applied thermal paste on AIO liquid cooler make the CPU run cooler (YES IT WILL)
So the thing is, I was getting quite high temps on my Ryzen 9 3900X, the CPU would touch 86 degrees Celsius while rendering videos and the CPU would always idle above 50-degree celsius at 26-degree ambient after much research and googling and almost everyone said that it's normal for the Ryzen 9 to run this hot even on a 360 AIO, but I was not convinced, so I swapped the old stock pre-applied thermal paste with a Cooler Masters MasterGel Maker and Voila saw a 13-degree temp drop while rendering videos. It seems like the old thermal paste was completely dried up and was stuck on to the CPU block, I had to scrape it off.
