AMD Ryzen 5 1600x temps with Corsair h60

[Fanime]

I went ahead and applied some old arctic silver thermal compound i had lying around because I had been using the pre-applied thermal paste for about a year when I bought the liquid cooling unit. It seems under stress I'm hitting 73-80c on the Witcher 3 and max graphics. I also ran the FurMark CPU burner for a little over an hour and it seems to sit around mid 70's. I remember have better temperatures in the past. I was just wondering what's considered a good gaming load temp for corsair h60 liquid cooling system.

Is the radiator clean? Take off the fan and give it a blow out if you have a push configuration, if the fan is pulling air then you should be able to see the buildup.

Yes. i cleaned off the radiator.If the fan was placed on the h60 radiator backwards would that make much of a difference? I could only see the temps increasing by 1-2c in that situation. I flipped the fan around the radiator and the temps were about the same.

Makes no difference, having the air pulled through just allows you to more easily access it for cleaning since dust wont be trapped between the fan and radiator.

Thank you for your expertise sir.
