Many thanks for your advice. My PC has been long overdue for some love, so I will apply all your tips this week. I have actually already switched from HWMonitor to HWInfo64, for that same reason. It shows better temperatures, for the right things. However, I do know the PSU has its fan...

Just did a longer run of Cinebench than before, and it crashed. I can confirm the problem lies with either the CPU or the PSU overheating. I'm taking the system to a repairshop this week, to have them measure which one is bad. Thanks for the help, and I will keep this thread updated as I figure...

God damn... So I first wanted to reapply thermal paste. I was pulling on the cooler, and it decided to yank out the CPU with it. Luckily no damage to the CPU. The thermal paste was holding the two together better than cement. I was eventually able to seperate the two with a heatgun set to low...

I looped Cinebench R20 for 750 seconds and did that twice. CPU temp was about 81C (used HWinfo64), and it didn't crash at all. Gonna put new thermal paste on tonight.

Now that we're on the subject... I have no real budget. If I would be willing to OC my CPU in the future, what would be a good cooler?

I did not apply new thermal paste, because the old stuff wasn't dried up. I just let it sit on desktop for 45 minutes. The average temperature is 34C.

Because that shouldn't be necessary for a Ryzen 5 2600. The stock cooler is enough as long as you don't overclock.

I'm noticing that if I use only 1 of the 2 RAM sticks I have, the CPU goes up to 89C and the system lasts a bit longer than normal. I'm sure this is just a coincidence, but that's what I found out. I alternated the sticks and nothing changed.

I'm gonna try a better airflow setup today (like you said) and fix the cable management. I've just measured temperatures with and without panel. The system lasts noticeably longer without panel. With: CPU: 84C GPU: 73C Without: CPU: 81C GPU: 70C Note: Last night I replaced my GTX 1660 S...

@RodroX I made videos where I show the internal components and one of the system actually crashing Components: View: https://youtu.be/XFnDMA1fjJI Crash (Recorded this before I downloaded HWinfo): View: https://youtu.be/0Xtkn-dayKY If you do want pictures instead, I can supply them too. I...

So after crashing and rebooting several times, the system is now extremely unstable. Sometimes I'm able to start and browse the internet a bit, but then it dies. Other times it shuts off almost instantly when I turn it on. When it worked HWinfo's temps were normal. I'm trying to showcase the...

I'll get back to you on that when I get home from work. What I do know is there are 2 intake fans and one extraction fan, going from front to back. The system has been running this warm on very hot days without any issues.

HW seems to be reporting normal temps under OCCT load. Perhaps some of the motherboard temperatures are weird? In any case, I am sure I have been running temps like this before in the past 2 years. Here is a screenshot of the temperatures

This works, so I can confirm something is overheating. I just doubt it can be any of the main components.

I just checked. There's some dust in the PSU, but nothing I would call alarming.
