PL 2 may also be the culprit here unless you've already changed it.


By default the 13700 power values are PL1 set at 65w. PL2 however is 219w.

It's likely here that the CPU is constantly trying to boost with PL2 and that dinky 645 92mm AIO is not going to cope with that at all.


I'd strongly suggest you change the PL2 asap to somewhere in the region of 100w. You have to enter that value manually in the bios.


Have you flashed the motherboard with the latest bios? That can also increase compatibility with ram kits.


Set PL2 to 100w and retest.


And as Revo suggested earlier, set the PCI-e lanes on the gfx slot to Gen 3 and see if that changes anything.


Edit: Also turn off Multi Core Enhancement (MCE) in the bios. Just saw it was an Asus board. With MCE turned on the board will constantly try to boost the CPU to the PL2 limits.
