Question CPU is at 90C when gaming, and around 70C at idle ?

CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X

Hi! for the last 14 months or so I've been having a problem where my CPU is constantly at 90C when gaming. The main issue being that my PC automatically shuts down because of the high temp.

• I've tried replacing the thermal paste once but it didn't help unfortunately.
• I've changed the fans to an NZXT Kraken 240 AIO.

I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on the situation and any help you could give. Thank you!

I've changed the fans to an NZXT Kraken 240 AIO.

You've changed the fans, instead of the entire cooler???

i have a peerless assassin 120 on my 5900x and it barely hits 75 degrees with a stress test. your cooler should provide similar performance.

do you have it oc'ed or something?

Check to ensure that your AIO is actually pumping and that the water block is fully tightened to the CPU.
