[SOLVED] 5600X Idle Temperature

[Superhuman2602]

Hi,
I have 5600X build with RTX 3070
It has stock cooler and my idle temperature for CPU is around 60 degrees
When I game it goes till 90 degree sometime.
Some of my games are crashing as well most probably because of this.
I am in India which is under complete lockdown, I cant buy PC parts right now, so cant buy a better case or an aftermarket cooler.
My current case has just one outlet fan in the back and the front panel is solid so no way to have inlet fans.
Any suggestions?

Leave the side panel off till you can get a new CPU cooler?
Why are you locked down? Covid? Stay safe!
If you have any thermal paste you can try to take cooler off an reapply and hope its a better result.

Fans. You need airflow. 1 rear exhaust isn't going to do much. You can pull the side panel off, that'll help considerably, but is just a band-aid fix.

Get what you can, when you can, stay safe until then.
