2. Undervolt the chipset. This made a massive difference. I went full deep and set the 1.05V to 0.8V. And the 0.8V to 0.6V. I know that not all the boards will do this and be stable. I was lucky to be able to use such undervolt with no issues at all. This dropped the temps from the high 70's into the high 60's. But i still thought i could do better.

Other two points are pretty clear and easy, but can you help with undervolting part? There are dozens of voltage parameters in BIOS "AI Tweaker" and I'm kinda lost (Strix z690-F), not a pro overclocker, sadly.
Which parameter needs to be lowered?

also encountered a similar issue with my Asus z790 F motherboard, where the temperature stayed at 65 degrees Celsius by default and did not decrease even when the computer was idle. I carefully removed the PCH heatsink, installed a 1.5mm thick copper shim, and applied RX6 thermal paste to both sides of the copper heatsink. Of course, I made sure to use a non-conductive type of thermal paste. Finally, after reassembly, the temperature when idle and at maximum load was around ~55 degrees Celsius. Indeed, even when using the best thermal pad, it still doesn't provide the same level of efficiency as the copper shim. Copper is a highly conductive material, and its ability to transfer heat surpasses that of thermal adhesives. The copper shim provides a direct and efficient heat transfer path between the chip and the heatsink, which significantly improves cooling performance compared to relying solely on thermal adhesive. If you want the best cooling esults for your motherboard, using a copper shim with appropriate thermal paste is the way to go. However, it's crucial to ensure that the thermal paste used is non-conductive to prevent any potential electrical issues.
