Can you suggest some of these less positive reviewers please? I like to have a broad range of reviews before deciding and all the ones I normally look at came out today (though were not overwhelmingly positive in every area).

No, I don't have such list. The source of the claim is from here (in Chinese) - https://www.chiphell.com/thread-2445527-1-4.html https://www.chiphell.com/thread-2445527-1-4.html chiphell is the largest computer parts review site in China, and that nApoleon guy posting this two batches of review story is the owner of the site. In a more recent thread, he confirmed again that his site has completed their own review and he had read it, yet they are not allowed to post it until tomorrow. https://www.chiphell.com/thread-2446331-1-1.html https://www.chiphell.com/thread-2446331-1-1.html In a separate thread he posted today, he mentioned that based on their tests, the temp of the zen4 chip is always 95 degrees celsius - no matter whether you use a shitty cheap cooler or a fancy kick ass one. https://www.chiphell.com/thread-2446302-1-1.html https://www.chiphell.com/thread-2446302-1-1.html

  Would be interesting to know if benchmarks run faster with a better cooler. It could be at the thermal limit in both cases, just at different clock speeds.

    It will run faster with more cooling. We'll probably see some air vs. water benchmarks in the coming weeks.

  Interesting but is delaying negative reviews works? It seems that GN posts review with temperature criticism today (see also thumbnail). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRaJXZMOMPU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRaJXZMOMPU

  Not sure why the 95C thing is bad. If a chip has work to do and can control it's overclocking, why not have it stick to whatever safe temperature it wants?
