I am surprised though. My overclock is only offset +0.075v. That's minimal offset.... I don't think it even hits 1.35v. Seems high to me with that voltage.
Would delidding help?
Why is EK evo hot? Should I go with monoblock?
Did I miss you reporting what your CPU load temperature was on P95 26.6?
The Watercool MO-RA3 is a great radiator but it is not the cure all to water cooling as impressive as it looks it has it's limitations, it is the equivalent combined TDP of 3 Low FPI 50mm core 360 rads.
You'll get better results going with a 2nd loop and isolating the GPU TDP from the CPU TDP.
I am running an MO-RA3 with 4 180mm cooling fans to cool the GPU alone it's load temperature is never over 32c at a 23c ambient.
I would caution against delidding as a totally last option, simply because there are some that have delidded and got no better results after the fact, and some that got fantastic results so there are no 100% guaranteed performance gains from delidding, but you are guaranteed to loose your CPUs warranty.
If 100% of those that delidded showed a performance increase then I would have long ago delidded my 3770K, but that is not the case so I seriously suggest you do your own research into it.
Using an offset voltage instead of a fixed voltage can affect your CPU temperature as well because you're not taking full control over the voltage to the CPU.
