[SOLVED] Ryzen 5 1600 AF Hitting 100c while Gaming

[Mickey_16]

Hi, I recently built a PC With a Ryzen 5 1600 AF on an Asrock Steel Legend Motherboard. Everything has been great excpet for the CPU temps. Its about 50 degrees idle and while gaming its about 90-95, and sometimes even goig up to 100. I am using the included wraith Stelath cooler, and my case has plenty of airflow. Does anyone know why my temps are so high, and how i can lower them.
Thanks for your help.

Which software are you using to monitor the temps? AMD Ryzen Master will be the most accurate but I find HWmonitor to be accurate.

If the temps are accurate then you need to ensure the cooler is properly installed and is running.
