Yeah, I might do that. Disabling 4 out of 8 ecores didn't help. Wanted to keep some ecores to do background tasks.
Finally managed to troubleshoot one of my unsettling problem. The rig sounded like a jet taking off when the cpu was at load. A high-pitch sound that I was not happy with. After investigating, it turned out that the fan behind the air-cooler was the culprit. Apparently, the back cpu fan emitted a high-pitch sound when attached to the cooler but the sound disappears as soon as I move the fan a bit out. Switching front fan to back also didn't help. No idea why there is this high-pitched sound for fans at the back of this SE-225 XT cooler.
Anyway, I was so frustrated that I took my old 12cm fan, remove the centre fan and used the frame as a "frame buffer". Drilled a lot of holes in many places to keep the weight down too. Then with the original fan clips, clipped the frame to the cooler and used cable ties to tie back the CPU fan.
As below.

Now even at full fan speed, the fans sound is much much MUCH softer at 100% even when the CPU is running hot at 70-80'c. No more air asia taking off every few minutes while gaming!
At least one problem solved.
SE-225 XT how this perform vs stock cooler? Thinking to get this. What is your cpu? The 1 fan that come with it actually push the air to heat sink heat sink? My last setup is 212 using pull and push do no idea for single fan setupFinally managed to troubleshoot one of my unsettling problem. The rig sounded like a jet taking off when the cpu was at load.
