lucky me never had issues with my 5950x (windows, x570 taichi). That being said,...

Oh nooooo, your new top-of-the-line processor has a lower TDP than average-good processors from a few years ago! How absolutely horrible.

/s, in case that wasn't blatantly obvious.

That is not the issue, the issue is that AMD advertise 2700x and 5950x with the same TDP, so at the very least that should means that they both work fine when using the same cooling solution, which is not the case. Using my previous cooler 5950x was throttling at 100 Celsius.

TDP is just now a marketing term. We all know that the real value is when the CPU is boosted.
