Hi guys I'm new here but I figured this is the best place to get help regarding my overheating issue.
I just built my PC last month and recently it has been experiencing overheating issue to the point where it force shuts down several times to cool itself down. I'll list down a few parts of my PC that might help identify the overheating issues:
I'm currently using the stock fan aka AMD Wraith PRISM Cooler with the pre-applied thermal paste and heat sink that came alongside the Ryzen processor. However My PC seems to be idling around 60°C whenever I boot up which seems usually hot. I've even tweaked the fan speed to run at least 2700 RPM and above just to bring down the temperature but it doesn't seem to work at all.
I did a quick test earlier when I boot up my PC for the first time today and here's the scenario:
The temperature results in min/average/max are:
When booting up
- 60°C / 60°C / 60°C
After 15 mins of idling
- 43°C / 60°C / 74°C
After 15 mins of Valorant
- 43°C / 72°C / 86°C
As you can see, my PC gets very heated up easily even when just idling. On an average day of usage it stays around 65°C which is still very hot for just casually browsing the web even with the fan tweaked to run at least 2700 RPM and above.
I'm no professional when it comes to PC but I suspect that my fan and thermal paste are the ones causing the issue. I plan to bring back the whole Ryzen set and exchange for a new one because I believe by after several shut downs due to overheating, my processor is more or less damaged from the heat.
But before that, I want to find out what's really causing my PC to overheat which is the reason why I came to this form and ask for help and hope that some of y'all who are proficient in PC can help a newbie out here. Sorry for the very long post but I thought I should just explained everything at once so it's easier to identify the issue.
Cheers

- Ryzen 7 3700x
- MSI B550 Gaming Carbon Pro WiFi
- MSI RTX 2070 Super Gaming X Trio
- Cooler Master MB530P casing

I did a quick test earlier when I boot up my PC for the first time today and here's the scenario:
- No apps running with the exception of Core Temp to measure the temperature
- The most CPU consuming app running in the background is my animated desktop wallpaper which consumes only 4% so I'll leave that alone
- After 15 mins I'll run Valorant and play for 15 mins
