AMD should've redesigned their IHS for AM5. It would've broken legacy support, but now they are stuck with a thick IHS for the lifespan of AM5, making it even harder to deal with the heat density issuess.
Now obviously this 'story' is about trying to reduce the heat density to begin with, but that's a far bigger challenge and a problem everyone has. While changing the IHS and cooler compatibility was something AMD could've easily done.
yea how are you supposed to have a fan curve when its idling at 50c. i do anything with my 7600x and it heats up and the fans on my ak620 ramp up and down. its as annoying to sit next to as a stock cooler.
