Anyways, thanks for you help Talon. I'll continue messing around and hopefully Crack that 15k one day. This is my first water cooled build so it's fun just messing around. Overall, super happy.

I use PR mostly for a standard so I can look at gains or losses in comparison to other configurations, if you are interested in the last few FPS , I think Paul of Paul's hardware on youtube goes over a bunch of the side things you can do to improve your score, along with the 2 other in the RIP GN RIP Jays2cents Rip Paul series.

NP. I was going to say, only need to drop another 5C to crack 15k. Just crank down the A/C or run a duct from a vent.

Which block do you have? My Heatkiller V is around 10-12C block delta (water to core) at 450w. I give a range because it will vary depending on where the power is going (mem vs. core mostly). 38C average is good, so I doubt you're leaving much there.

Thanks Kraade I will check them out!

Optimus block. My experience with them was super good. I ordered the cpu and gpu blocks on March 19th 2022 and received them both by April 26th. Probably paid too much but I really like the look and performance. It was a toss up between Optimus and Heatkiller. I just went with Optimus because they're US based and I preferred the look of the cpu block more.

I might have picked up 20 points by clicking on performance vs Quality

Very nice! You make it look so effortless with those clocks. Lol. Great temps for air too.

The max stable in game i can get is +1300mhz memory and +150mhz core, this is with a heatkiller installed

Sweet. That's a good result. Those Heatkiller blocks are gorgeous and I can't wait to see what 40 series blocks look like.
