[Cheeky Bugger]

Today i upgraded to Ryzen 5 2600 and when i play AC:Odyssey for couple of minutes temps go through the roof,we are talking 85 celsius.I don't really know what i'm doing wrong.I'm running the stock cooler with stock thermal paste,motherboard is B450 Tomahawk.Any ideas what i'm doing wrong here?

How many intake or exthaust fans do you have and did you overclock the cpu.

Hmm,well,i will,but first i need to buy that isopropyl alcohol to clean the cpu and the heatsink,maybe i haven't screwed it in properly?

Thanks man a ton,i checked the screws and it turned out,2 of them weren't even half way through,i was pretty scared to screw them up first time,i thought i might damage the board.Now it runs a whole lot better,40 when idle,55 under load.
