Rise 25 creaky headset

The 8Nm spec for the top cap is for the M model bikes (carbon frame, and different headset). However, now that I've had more time with this, experimented, and replaced my lower bearing, I agree with the comment from @Silent_Jay that even 6Nm is too much (and I have an M bike where the spec is 8Nm).
Really? It definitely seems a lot more than you'd normally use on a top cap but when it did it by feel it got movement noise (creaking/cracking sound). Using the Orbea torque spec that stopped and hasn't returned.
