The processor is overheating. Need assistance?
I discovered my CPU was overheating during games recently, which wasn’t ideal. I refreshed the thermal paste, upgraded fans with proper airflow settings, and am now getting new RAM and a 800W power supply. Still seeing temperatures near 85°C in games. What could be causing this? PC Parts: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QgL8nt
According to common knowledge, the 5800X is a very powerful processor. It's significantly more powerful than the 5900X. You may need to replace your CPU cooler or experiment with PBO settings. The Hyper 212 chipset seems to be underpowered for this model.
Well, it comes down to what you value most. AIO offers a stylish appearance without a heavy aluminum casing and tends to stay cooler than average air coolers. However, it often costs more, the 120mm models are underwhelming, and larger sizes like 240mm may not fit well. It holds liquid, which can lead to leaks if not maintained properly, so regular checks are necessary.
Air Cooler provides durability that lasts a long time if used gently; fans usually fail eventually but parts are replaceable. It doesn’t contain liquid, making it simpler in design. But it’s larger and may obstruct other components like RAM. For a top-tier experience similar to an AIO, you’ll need high-quality models.
Hyper 212 Evo offers great cooling, though it may feel dated in terms of design and isn't ideal for very high-temperature chips. With a rating around 5,760°C, it should perform well. However, it might not suit systems like the 5800X and beyond. Remember, we're discussing a cooler that's essentially around $30, so performance aligns with that price point. I tend to avoid AIO coolers, mainly because they're costly and often unreliable.
