Hi everyone,
I have been using my Ryzen 5 2600 for more than a year now and have never struggled with high temps.
Full specs:
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
M0therboard: Tomahawk b350
ram: 2x 8gb Crucial BLS8G4D26BFSBK Ballistix Sport LT
ssd/hdd: 1x 250gb nvm 1x 1tb western digital WD10EZEX Blue
GPU: amd rx 590 8gb
PSU: 700w Cobra power
OS: windows 10 education
BIOS version: 1.H0
Recently i noticed it spiked OVER 120 degrees Celsius.
Always been using the stock Wraith stealth cooler
I have changed thermal paste
Secured cpu cooler properly
Boosted cpu cooler speeds
Removed side panel for extra air flow
Put a massive fan pumping air from the side
since this, it has gone down to between 88 - 96 when on idle(on startup) then over 105 when in a game.
keep in mind it reaches these temps within minutes of being in a game, losing lots of fps, Could this be the reason?
possible worry is it could be my motherboards temp sensor but not sure how to test that.
I have run out of ideas, not sure what else to do.
please help.
