the constant thermal throttling due to cheap cpu cooler is getting into my nerve
planning to upgrade it, but judging from a few videos out there, noctua is the only one that's be able to tame this cpu, but requires some cutting/drilling on the backplate? that's i'm not willing to do
arctic freezer is not bad but still get throttling in cinebench hmm.gif

so anyone out here managed to change the cooler without major modification that will void the warranty?

also anyone added heatsink to the VRM? does it help?
