I recently build a pc with for a friend, but I couldn't finish it since not al the components arrived. But now his cpu keeps overheating. And since am not there I have basically no idea what is wrong. Am pretty sure there is no problem with mounting pressure. But I am not sure if there was a plastic sheet on the cooler. If there was I didn't remove that. Does anyone know if the wraith spire comes with a plastic cover on the baseplate? 

 

Specs:

R5 2600x with wraith spire

Asrock b450 steel legend

no, its a large plastic cover over the whole base, no way you could have forgotten to remove that as you wouldnt have been able to mount the cooler with it on there.

By default, with a correctly mounted Spire, that CPU should be in the 60s.
