[SOLVED] Cpu gets 100° when loading into Fortnite

[MyCpuIsBurning]

hello, i dropped my pc the day before yesterday (long story) and when i turned it on to check if something is broken, i noticed that the cpu cooler doesn't work anymore (the cpu temperature rose up to 70°C) so i took the cpu cooler off, removed the thermal compound with some alcohol and connected the boxed cooler. Everything was going great, but when I was in the middle of a game, the temperature suddenly rose again. i removed the boxed cooler and connected it afterwards, but it happened again yesterday - in the middle of the game the cpu temperature rose up to 76°C and stayed between 60-70°C. At Minecraft the temperature is always between 60-65° and at Fortnite even when loading the game the cpu has 90-100°! How the * can a boxed cooler not stop that? Why does this temperature come up even when the game is loaded? CPU: Amd Ryzen 5 3600

a Wraith cooler (which comes with the CPU) should keep your cpu at iddle below 50ºC no problems (unless your case is really bad or you don't have enough fans to do airflow. Now, temp goes up when more processing usage is done, so with a Wraith you can expect like 70ish with a game loading or ingame. Even in the 60ish with good airflow. That spike to 90-100 is not normal. So either two things: You badly applied paste (easy to solve issue, just re-apply it), or the real problem, as this cooler uses "clips", the cooler is not doing good contact with the CPU, that's why that spike , because there is no cooling being applied to the cpu as there is NO contact between cooler and CPU. Check those. Pretty sure one of those is the issue.
