Question Ryzen 7 7700 non-X

[xTiddi]

So I am using an ID cooling 360mm zoomflow, previously using the pre-applied thermal paste, I idle around 50-53c. (Disclaimer, I live in a humid environment no AC for now 30-40c ambient). And that's fine. I upgraded my GPU, and thought "hey, I'll just repaste while I'm at it, it's a good 7monthish since I've been using the pre-applied thermal paste". Used line method, mounted the pump correctly, installed the new GPU, now my temps are idling at 55-57c. I'm not sure if the thermal paste that I bought is a worse thermal paste than the pre-applied one, or should I be worried about the pump? I checked the tubes and it seems to be flowing fine.

Edit: I'm using PBO, so I'm not really worried about reaching 80c or 90c. I set the PBO to 65c one. I'm just worried that the pump is dead or something, or will this effect the CPU performance and longevity even if I'm used to the PBO that I set.

Specs:
Mobo: MSI B650M-A Pro Wifi

Hey there,

Please list your full pc specs, and also the name of each of the pastes used. Then we can better assess.

Hi sure, I'll edit my post.

where is you radiator located? front - intake, or anywhere else as exhaust?
if its exhaust, its kinda possible that your new GPU just throws more heat inside your PC

So, the airflow set-up I have is 3 120m intake fans in the front of the case, rad is top mounted intake. Exhaust fan is only one 120m at the back, I believe.

hmmm....try this trick, remove side panel and see if temperature changes

How long? I actually tried this earlier since I want to feel if the tubes were moving. That's about 30s-a minute. And it didn't change the temps.
