Is my CPu causing my machine to overheat?

[conman12620]

I recently upgraded my GPU, CPU and cooling fan in my pc. Since the upgrades, the machine overheats/freezes/crashes after less than 20 minutes of heavy gameplay (Ark in this case.) I've checked all my parts and everything seems to be running as it should, yet the heat sink on my cooler gets boiling hot in a matter of minutes while playing Ark.

The specs for my machine:
Motherboard: Asus crosshair V formula Z
CPU: AMD FX 9590 8-core
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070ti
Ram: 2x8GB (16 total)
Storage: 2.5 terabytes separated on 3 HDD's
Cooler: Cooler Master RR 212L with 2 fans as well as a fan in the front and back of the case.

The FX9590 pretty much requires a massive cooler with capacity to contend with it's 200-220 watt TDP, and, a few case fans blowing across the motherboards power transistors as well, or, it will throttle/crash...

YOu can try downclocking it to 3.5-3.7 GHz to effectively run as a FX8350, etc., in an attempt to reign in thermal runaway....

Open the case, blow a fan directly on the power transistors to see if it improves any first....

Quite probable your cooler is not adequate...

You are running a 9590, it's a boiling CPU. Your motherboard doesn't support that cpu either. You'll have issues as its only meant for maximum 140w tdp cpu.

Thats a 220w cpu, looks like you need to go back to drawing board. Your cpu cooler isn't upto snuff either. You are looking for problems if you continue to run that set up.

That cpu cooler is nowhere near good enough. The FX9XXX series needs a seriously good cooler.

I have my old cpu still laying around. Its an FX 8XXX. In theory if I were go reinstall that instead of the 9590 it would quit overheating. Is that correct? I apologize if this sounds dumb as I'm still new to the gaming PC world.

That would be more in line with the equipment you have, its practically the same with less power
