Just tested playing WoW, with other programs open + Chrome, maxed out at 70C, so much better than 95-100C.

This picture was not taken in the A4, but you can see that I removed all the mobo heatsinks. You can also see the LP53 orientation.

Thanks for this image. I will try other methods to get temp down, my last resort will be to remove heatsinks.
Next tab along. Should be under AI Tweaker. Unless it doesn't come up for non-K CPUs. Look at the second picture in my last post. Options are where the mouse cursor is...
I was just showing my BIOS version. I checked AI Tweeker, must be for overclocked chips only.
you should try http://www.cryorig.com/c7cu_us.php. for a better air flow you need to twist cpu to evacuate air to pcie, not to ram socket.
You should take another cooler for your cpu, its to close to the the cover, it couldnt get enough cool air from outside. or lets make some
more holes in front of the intake like the metalcover. and yes cause you have that less space their is a strong heat pressure inside.
check out how it works without cover and see whats possible when circulation is better. i have made a threat for a similar problem.

and i have seen in another test that the noctuas with a higher fan(25mm) performs in a closed case worse than the 14mm org. Fan
thats why im thinking its better to have smaler cooler. and your case you have a similar config with this high cooler.

oh sorry, i see the lp53 is that small to, So the others are right too when they say rotate the cooler if its possible. In your picture
that ways to the side are most closed and under the lp53 isnt that much space, so if you have less problems with open case my
link could help nevertheless.

What I pray in many threads currently is how to deal with Intels TDP because many customers are not happy with their CPU temps.
I recommend to setup "Max Long Power Duration" = 95W or lower in UEFI/Bios. This will let your CPU run in Intel specs and it will be so much cooler. I tested it with an 8700k and an L9i. Here are some results (Prime95 8k):
Auto (125W) = 100+°C /6x 4,3Ghz
95W = 91°C /6x 3,9-4,0Ghz
80W = 80°C /6x 3,7-3,8Ghz
65W = 72°C /6x 3,5-3,6Ghz
100W + undervolt = 87°C / 6x 4,1 -4,2Ghz.

On Noctua's L9i page, it says that the 9700k is acceptable (I assume because of the move to solder), if you set a max power limit of 130W. I'll be honest, I'm a bit of a noob, but does this seem reasonable, given your experience? Or am I reaching for high numbers that won't translate to perceivable gains?
I'm currently debating between a 9400 (which I suspect will be released soon), and a 9700K. I've ordered a v3, and am building for some fairly intense UE4 development. I don't know if it's better to settle for the 9400 to avoid high temps, or push with the 9700k.
I already have the Asrock 390i phantom board.
If you get the 9700K, you can set the power limit in the Asrock UEFI or inside windows with Intel XTU software. You just have to make sure the software is running at all times, but to me the software seems easier than UEFI.
Note that the Asrock board sets the chip to unlimited power limit by default.
