so its able to keep the x4 from thermal throttling?

Of course. CPU thermal throttling when temperature over 95 degrees

Yes. I got the 10.4mm. Not working at all… without some air flow the space between copper fins is to narrow to allow some air convection. So without adding a fan I got hard fault and system reboot even forcing the clock just to the base 800MHz. Be aware that to ensure a good contact between the indium sheet and the CPU I had to file the 4 brass standoff.
By just adding 2 tiny but noisy 20x20mm fan on the side the core temp are always between around 30°C with a maximum absolute of 43°C under stress test. Ambient was 20°C.

With a fanless solution requires a large enough area of ​​fins. The heat dissipation area in the picture is too small and heat is accumulated. A fan must be added. You can try replacing a silent fan or giving the fan a lower voltage.

im now only using these and with proper fan they stay super low. i do add proper thermal paste and relocate the nvme and my temps proper low even under full load.
