Pros
- I have the same CPU/Cooler. Additionally to PBO negative curve add an adaptive negative offset of 0.07v and put a power limit on it. I never go over 74°.

Cons
- as far as i know theres plenty of black coolers that perform just as well as the noctua d15 for a lot cheaper but otherwise it looks fine
- 95C under load is too high for that CPU with that cooler. That tells me that the CPU is thermal throttling. It should be at least 10-20 degrees cooler.
- I like it, only question is why Noctua? I know they are good quality and quiet but the price is always insane . Maybe look at an ID Cooling A720 instead cool, quiet, and sleek black look plus the savings at half the price is pretty nice.
