this is not a guide, but a source of information and hopefully the beginning of a discussion on improving 950xl WOA performance from a hardware perspective
out of the box the 950XL overheats and doesn't perform at it's full potential, but every drop of performance, especially cpu, is going to benefit WOA
there are multiple design flaws that cause thermal throttling in the final release product:
the "water cooling" doesn't actually contain any liquid despite initial intentions
there is board forming a barrier between the "water cooling" and the main chip
the thermal paste between the board and the "water cooling" is really bad, which adds to the above barrier
to solve the above issues the chassis above the chip functions a heat spreader but there is no thermal paste between the main chip and the chassis
heres what i did about it:

any ideas how to improve on this?
note that i specifically used kryonaut because it is the best option for this, and even it is not capable of fully dissipating all the heat
anybody not using kryonaut will see less improvement than my own examples
