Dual heat pipe + PTM7950.
I use thinkfan to enable my fans to run at unregulated RPMs (~4800 RPM instead of ~4000 RPM) for better thermal performance, at the cost of noise. Here is a helpful tweak for managing changing hardware paths.
Warning
RPM limits probably exist for a reason, and I took the risk of surpassing them.
This lowered my CPU temps by about 5°C under sustained load. It also allows me to prevent my CPU fans from staying on even when the temperatures are low by turning them off under a certain temperature threshold.
Using thinkfan instead of the automatic fan settings causes my CPU to limit itself to 25 watts under load, only fixable by interrupting normal startup (Enter), diagnosing hardware (F10), going to FAN SPEED under TOOLS, setting a fan speed manually, then resuming boot, on every system startup. I found this solution myself and haven’t discovered a more convenient workaround yet.
I also use throttled in order to undervolt and limit wattage to the CPU to prevent thermal throttling/clock speed fluctuations. I found that limiting my CPU wattage to 36 watts allows for the clock speeds to stay at 3.4-3.5 GHz, while keeping the temperature low enough as to not cause thermal throttling, or a cycle of maximum clock speeds and throttles.
