Gameplay issues persist across all titles, even with strong hardware. Experiencing frequent stutters in Horizon and Genshin Impact, occasional crashes in Horizon: Zero Dawn at any settings. Performance differs—Genshin runs smoother, CPU load is lower. Attached crash dump included. System specs listed: Windows 10 Home, Asus Prime B-560M-A, Intel i5 10400, 16GB RAM, RTX 3080, NVMe SSDs, and a compact power supply. Recent troubleshooting attempts failed; CPU bottleneck theory considered. Need advice on upgrading or further fixes.

I'm checking the cooling system to see what's keeping the CPU from overheating during intense gaming sessions.

I'm using the stock intel cooler because I didn't overclock, and I also have three noctua fans as my case fans—two intake at the front and one exhaust at the back.

Consider looking into a higher-quality cooler since most CPUs struggle above 90°C and often throttle when they hit the upper 80s. A Noctua or a 240mm radiator would be better options. While the i5-10400 is solid, it tends to overheat easily, just like my 5800x but with more heat issues.

I'll try to get a better cooler and that should help with the problem, thanks!
