Hey Guys,
I recently have taken the plunge and upgraded to a Ryzen 2700X GTX 1080 system. I heard plenty of reviews that laud the AMD Wraith Prism (the stock cooler.) Given the reviews, I expected it to handle my system without any overclocks perfectly fine (even if it was a little bit toasty.) The entire reason I upgraded my PC was to have better performance when streaming, however, the only thing I have encountered was grainy, low quality footage, which was frequently interrupted by thermal throttling. I have attempted to divert the load to the GPU via NVENC, but needless to say, NVENC delivers paltry quality in comparison to x264. My Tdie temps according to HWinfo have maxed at around 94.3 C, which needless to say, is FAR out of my comfort zone. When referring the motherboard sensors, the temps say they have only reached 78 C. I am unsure as to which reading is more accurate.
Things I have tried:
Is this workload just approaching the prism's limit, or is there a glaring issue I may be overlooking? I am able to shell out around $30 on a new cooler, and I've been eyeing the Cryorig brand for a while, but I'm open to any other recommendations. Just need a second opinion as to what's going on.
Thanks,
Noah

Things I have tried:
Reseating The Cooler
Reapplying Thermal Paste
Adjusting the Fan Curve to Max
