PC specifications updated: CPU model Ryzen 7 5800X, GPU RTX 2070, motherboard Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite, RAM 2x8 DDR4 G.Skill tridentz F4-3600C18-8GTRS, cooler NZXT Kraken 120 AIO, power supply Corsair 650W. The system runs at around 3800 MHz during idle with a temperature of 68°C. You mentioned overheating issues before, especially around 90°C CPU temps. Recent fixes included applying new thermal paste and updating power settings. Possible causes now seem to be the AIO not working or an outdated BIOS (no updates available). No USB is connected at the moment. Seeking advice on whether this setup is stable for gaming.
