  • P3, P5, P7 are all on one side of the CPU, so it’s likely the cooler pressure on the CPU IHS isn’t even for some reason.

    Some ideas:

    1. Use more paste and make sure the paste imprint is even.

    2. Double check to make sure you didn’t mix the LGA1200/1700 standoffs which are different lengths.

    3. Make sure the excessively large universal Arctic mounting frame isn’t catching on a VRM component.

    4. Make sure the contact frame tension is even across all four screws








  • I recommend using Process Lasso proper. It’s not hard to learn and much more powerful. CoreDirector looks like Process Lasso’s Efficiency mode/CPU set/CPU affinity rules repackaged into one on/off toggle for every listed app.

    You can do more interesting rules with Process Lasso like keeping non-interactive applications off of the highest-turbo P-cores or restricted to E-cores to improve idle power. My 60/60/60/60/57/57/57/57 13900K idles at 8-9W with MSI AB, Discord*, Steam, and other apps banished to E-cores and never allowed to turbo the P-cores.

    *Discord gets 57x P-cores 6 and 7 as a treat.
