ryzen 5 3600
your ryzen 5 3600 is overheating significantly during gaming, reaching temperatures of 95-98°C. the msi b450 gaming plus board is also running lower frame rates than your older ryan 3 2600, which handled games like fortnite and apex legends smoothly at higher FPS (around 160 fps for fortnite). now your fortnite is around 120 and apex legends barely at 100. the high clock speeds and fan rates shown in third-party tools like nztcam suggest the system is pushing limits. it might be time to check cooling solutions or consider a cooler board.
Did you verify the cooler's installation? Likely due to overheating issues.
No, I didn't forget anything about thermal paste. Let me know if you need help with it!
Do you have the NZXT AIO cooler installed? It’s likely you’re using it, which is why the CAM software is needed. Could you inspect the tubes to see if there’s any fluid flowing? Are there noticeable differences in temperature between them—one hotter and one cooler?
No, the thermal paste was included with the standard cooler. I only purchased the CPU today.
The two clips on the cooler were completely lowered onto the motherboard am4 bracket. After securing them, you engaged the cooler lever into the locked setting.
