High temperature adjustment, modify hyper 212 evo for Corsair H100i PRO
Your 7600k i5 is running at 18% overclock, with temps hitting 80°C and 85°C during PUBG. Considering a Corsair H100 Pro might be a good upgrade option.
Sorry I did not get to you sooner. I have a lot going on this Christmas season.
Room and [inside] computer case ambient temperature and air flow within the case impact performance of either a water or air cooler. I just checked and maximum CPU core temperature was 30 degrees C at idle [minimum was 27 degrees C, or 4 degrees above room temp]. Room temperature was 23 degrees C.
I have a high air flow case, CoolerMaster HAF 922.
If my room temperature was 80 degrees F or ~26.7 degrees C with my case and CPU cooler my maximum idle CPU temperature would be about 33.5 degrees C while idle.
If you want to know what my CPU temperature would be at 5.0GHz under heavy load with a room temperature of 80 degrees would simply add 5 degrees C to the...
A better cooling system would be ideal, yes. The 212EVO is a more affordable option. What are your highest temperatures? Which voltage are you using? Are you conducting stress tests? 85°C max is manageable, especially with a 7600K and the 212EVO. I’d still want to enhance the cooling setup. Intel temperature guide:
The CPU voltage is set to 1.040V on the Asus Prime Z270-AR motherboard with the automatic overclock enabled. The temperature ranges from 74º to 82º during gameplay, reaching up to 85ºC. Would it be more beneficial to upgrade to a H100i Pro or a similar model at a lower cost?
Obtain the Noctua NH-U12S. It stands out as a top air cooler, surpassing many water coolers. This model operates roughly 1 degree C warmer than the NH-U14S.

I stopped considering water cooling long ago.
I will share a link to a completed IntelBurnTest v2 image and HWiNFO64 display for temperature monitoring.
My CPU is an i7 7700K running at 4.8GHz, paired with the Noctua NH-U14S cooler.
While testing SSDs for performance, I came across this thread and plan to post it later once my regular drives are reinstalled.
EDIT: Temperature stayed below 59°C despite leaving the case open for easy drive connection and disconnection, indicating the cooling setup isn’t optimal at the moment.

I’m sure this helps with your query.
Danra, thank you for your time and response. I had also seen Noctua before, but because his price was quite low, I wasn't sure. I purchased a fan from Noctua and placed it on the opposite side of the EVO 212 to check if it improved things, but the temperature didn’t change much.
I reviewed the temperature image, but now I wonder if the room air might be getting warmer too. It’s a very small space with no ventilation, so the air feels hot and doesn’t circulate well.
I’m considering buying a portable air conditioner for gaming, or do you think it could still help lower the processor temperature even in a small, non-ventilated room like the Noctua NH-U12S?
Sorry, I wasn't able to reach you earlier. This Christmas season has been quite busy for me.
The temperature inside the room and the airflow in the case affect how well a water or air cooler performs. I just checked that the highest CPU core temperature reached 30 degrees C at idle, which was a minimum of 27 degrees C, about 4 degrees above the room temperature. The room temperature was 23 degrees C.
I'm using a high airflow case, the CoolerMaster HAF 922.
If my room temperature were around 80 degrees F or roughly 26.7 degrees C with the same case and CPU cooler, my maximum idle CPU temperature would be approximately 33.5 degrees C.
If you're curious about my CPU temperature at 5.0GHz under heavy load with a room temperature of 80 degrees, just add 5 degrees C to the link I provided earlier. Here it is:

For 4.8GHz under heavy load, add 5 degrees to the CPU bench as shown in the images:

I hope this gives you a clearer idea.
EDIT: I tend to favor a high-quality air cooler over a decent water cooler since it only requires monthly cleaning.
