While assessing my board for upgrade capabilities. I took off my sink/fan to see if my cpu was soldered on. (Prebuilt proprietary mother board) Thus detaching the thermal paste. I reassembled everything. There was paste still on the gpu and the sink. Is it safe to still run the rig?

Alright so I reduced my settings to a meager 2.o overclock. With same fan settings. Very nice temps. However once I load up pubg watchman changes the temp and fan settings. Even after disabling the pubg seperate profiles in wattman.

I should add that once fan hits 5krpms and stays there I get the leafblower. Holding steady at 78* So at 78* and 5k rpms fan is this viable for an hour or 2 of gaming a day? I'll have more loot for upgrades in a few months. And again this is valley on max settings.

No i dont butit is a large case https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16883101536

Setting fan speed to auto drops my gpu to 861 from 1305. Is this throtteling?

Fan speed is at 5000 when under load. Is that too much? I don't game that often maybe an hour a day on average.

Voltage is on auto. Power limit is at 50. I decreased memory from 2.2k to 2k and lowered my temp settings. Now back in the 2200 score with a temp of 75* celsius.

I have a new pc. Intel i5-7400 3ghz 8g ram ddr5 Radeon rx480 4g. I am overclocking using watchman and valley on max. On stock settings I am getting temps of70. At just below max overclock it runs at 85*. I reset back to stock to achieve lower temps. But even after increasing fan activation...
