Your temperatures are within normal range.
Your temperatures are within normal range.
You're using a Ryzen 5 2600 and an RTX 2060, which are solid components. The temperatures you're seeing—around 37°C on the GPU and 47°C on the CPU during Fortnite—are within typical ranges for these hardware setups. It's normal for GPUs to run slightly higher than the cooler end of the normal range, especially under load. If you notice any unusual behavior or overheating, consider monitoring with a reliable temp monitor and ensuring proper airflow.
It seems your R5 2600 is already boosted to 4.15ghz with a Hyper 212 EVO, yet it struggles to exceed 70 under load. If you're using a stock cooler and pushing over 4ghz, temperatures should remain manageable—unless there are issues like poor thermal contact.
You're unsure about overclocking your CPU, but don't worry—rebooting often resets things. If you're worried, try checking your motherboard manual or online guides for safe steps. If you're still unsure, consider consulting a professional before proceeding.
I adjusted the BIOS by resetting it and increasing the core clock multiplier to 39 (3.9GHz) temporarily, then raised it further to 4.2, which the system couldn't handle due to power or CPU limits. Eventually I settled on 4.15 for stable performance, provided you have adequate cooling. If you're worried about damaging your CPU, consider resetting the BIOS to default by shorting the CMOS pins on your motherboard. Avoid altering voltage unless you aim for maximum overclocking. TL;DR: try 3.9GHz for a week, then 4.15GHz. Use a power supply of at least 500W.
I plan to test this setup since I’m installing a 360mm radiator for my CPU and also have a 550w power supply.
It's a bit too big, but you decide. I didn't even consider liquid cooling, unless it's something like a 120mm
