Hey everyone, I've been facing some issues with my PC lately, especially when trying to play games or stream on YouTube. Recently, I upgraded my case and the specs are as follows: CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, Motherboard - MSI MAG B550M, Case - Corsair 4000xRGB. The RAM is Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB (3x8GB) and a 16GB Corsair (1x16GB). My PSU is the Corsair 750W CX750F RGB. The GPU is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 with 6GB of RAM. When I run games, the CPU temperatures stay between 45-60°C at idle and reach 80°C+ under load. I also noticed that with positive pressure in the case, launching games like COD CW works smoothly, which it did before. Since I changed both the motherboard and GPU at the same time, it functioned well for about four days. Now I'm considering switching to an AIO cooler. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

It would have helped to know more about the situation. Could you share the CPU and GPU temperatures? You might want to check HWiNFO64 for that. Are there any unusual sounds from the cooler or fans? Make sure all PSU connections are secure and try a CMOS reset if you haven’t already.

Consider reapplying the thermal paste. Is it warm around you? The existing cooler should suffice.

Hi, I've experienced this three times after switching to the new hardware (23 days ago). The room maintains a temperature of 27°C at its maximum.

Hey, you're welcome! (Just a quick note—this was a bit of a learning curve!) The update shows CPU temps between 45-60°C, GPU at around 80°C+, and the GTX 1060 runs at 47-55°C while I test games.

It doesn't seem suitable for the stock cooler's temperatures, particularly if your fan curve is set for quiet performance. Consider adjusting those settings.

I took a close look and made the necessary changes. All settings are now at maximum speed (1500RPM on the QL120), and temperatures remain consistent before. I also verified the fan direction.
