Issue with CPU Ryzen 9 5950x overheating or performance issues
You're experiencing significant temperature spikes with your R9 5950X, especially when making minor movements or using certain games. It sounds like your cooling system might need attention. Consider checking your fan speed settings, ensuring the heatsinks are clean, and possibly upgrading to a better cooler if needed. Also, running your PC under lighter loads or adjusting game settings could help stabilize temperatures.
Use the NZXT Software for precise fan speed adjustments. If manual control is available, start at 50% and increase to 75-80% during gameplay. I run Fan Control as a program but haven’t tested it with NZXT fans or AIO units, so I’m unsure about compatibility.
