IgorsLAB published Challenge: Optimizing AMD Ryzen 7 3800X with Boxed Cooler and Radeon RX 5700 in reference design A quote from the article:

Our forum user casi30 has created an optimization guide for us, which should make the impossible possible, especially since the combination as CPU and GPU is already quite sporty. He cools an AMD Ryzen R7 3800X with the included Wraith Prism, runs a reference model of the Radeon RX 5700 for this purpose and finally optimized the whole thing manually to such an extent that neither the components glow nor the ears fall off. You can’t? yes, you can! and that is exactly what you are reading today in his guide, which was written in the ego-form (logical, it is his) and which I do not want to withhold from you.

Thanks for the intro, I’ll take over and start right away. The AMD Wraith Prism was a little bit processed by me, because it had quite big grooves and bumps after a light check as you can see here. The only important thing is that the contact surface becomes larger and the heat-conducting paste does not have to compensate as much, because it transfers the heat much worse than e.g. Copper. A small instruction on how to do this can be found in my last picture gallery.
