Hey everone. So recently I built my first PC and I'm a bit curious about the temperature of my CPU, specifically when gaming. When idle its usually sits at around 40 - 55 (this seems to fluctuate) But when playing games such as The Forest it goes all the way up to 83 degrees. I have reapplied thermal paste to see if this would solve the issue, but it wasnt really to any avail.
These are my Specs:
Ryzen 5 2600
GTX 1070 ti
B450 Mortar
Coolermaster Masterbox q300p
ARCTIC Freezer 33 eSports ONE

Any suggestions as to what I can to do lower this temperature?
Thanks

Those temps arent going to hurt anything. But seem high. Is your cooler going front to back? I wouldn't expect the stock cooler to get that high. I'm assuming theres no over clock or anything. Your case should have decent air flow. And I don't think that's the issue. The way I test that is to remove the side panel and check my temps. If they drop a lot, you know it needs more fans.


The fan I'm using is the ARCTIC Freezer 33 eSports ONE on my CPU, with 3 other fans in my case. I'm also using Ryzen Master to look at my CPU temps, still reading the same.
