Hi Jon-Zed
Welcome to the ROG forum !
If you're running the cpu core/cache voltage on auto, your cpu is likely getting overvolted. Set the cpu core/cache voltage to manual, enter 1.15v - 1.20v in the "CPU Core Voltage Override" and see how much this drops temps.
Once you find what's stable you can switch to adaptive mode, enter 1.15v - 1.20v in the "Additional Turbo Mode CPU Core Voltage Override", adaptive mode will throttle the cpu frequency and voltage at idle. Be sure the windows power plan is set to balanced.
I have the Maximus IX Code and 7700k, I delidded the 7700k with the Rockit 88 tool and got an average of -15c.
Those types of coolers you mention (cake, beer) are damp like a refrigerator, I don't know if I'd want to expose my pc parts to dampness.

They are designed to cool things down and then keep that temperature by occasionally running. If you put a constant source of heat in a fridge it will work itself to death pretty pronto...

Thanks - clearly not such a good idea after all! Thanks for your reply.

I think if you research this (google) you'll find that a small fridge won't cool your PC. Add up watt output of PC, CPU, GPU, could use 300 to 600 watts
Delidding the CPU is a better option but even that if your ambient temps are 30 to 40 degrees heat is always going to be an issue, an air conditioner to keep ambient temperature down would be better for you and your PC, if you can direct air from air conditioner to radiator intake on PC will help some

There is, of course, phase change cooling...which is basically the fridge idea but beefed up for this kind of use...but it is expensive and not so easy to set up...and can go spectacularly wrong...
