That was my expectation, but when I cranked it up to high settings and disabled ambient occlusion, the stability dropped significantly and frames would drop. At that point, I found this model more appealing because some online reviews highlighted its good value for the price. Could be the problem lies there? Since I previously owned an older FX cooler, I was constrained by budget when choosing a replacement.

Sure, I'm here while you're working. I'll be ready to capture those stats once you're done. Good luck with the analysis!

Streaming alone can be problematic if it causes eye strain or fatigue. Even without joining a group doesn't mean it's safe—consistent use may affect your comfort.

Want something cooler? It seems like the problem might be with the CPU rather than the GPU. If the issue wasn’t related to graphics, lowering the graphics settings could have helped improve performance. Since it doesn’t occur, it points more toward a CPU-related concern.

Sorry about that! I didn’t share the link before. It seems like my CPU might be a bit weaker on some of the other parts, but it’s not a big deal. The RAM sticks are from the same brand and model, so it shouldn’t affect performance much. Here’s the link you mentioned: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0068OI7T8/r...uFb4HGS4N6

Upon returning, verify the temperatures and consumption during gaming and streaming. Elevated heat might indicate an unsuitable cooling solution or improper thermal paste application.

I considered reapplying thermal paste, but nothing else came to mind. Playing a few games made me realize they’re CPU-intensive compared to CoD or similar titles. It seems the game runs smoother after startup and feels slower if it’s been on all day—possibly due to temperatures. Would a cooler help?

Played Destiny 2 at a public event without any extreme issues. Occasionally dropped to 40 frames at 80% quality, but performance improved once it started. CPU stayed around 55°C on average. It doesn’t heat up much and drops right after launch. I loaded Jedi: Fallen Order at the lowest settings and here’s the screenshot (no third-party mods allowed). Loading areas hit 20–30 frames and stayed under 60 most of the time.

The GPU is using just 6 percent of its capacity, which seems unusual. Is the game running on an SSD or HDD?
