Hot cpu fan, does it need better cooling?

Ryzen 5 2600  @ stock and runs at about 65 degrees centigrade with stock cooler when playing games like PUBG, should i get water cooling for this and if so do i need to remove motherboard from the case to install it or does it just screw in.

I think you mean celcius instead of centigrade. 65 degrees °C is perfectly fine, you should start worrying at 90

If you're formally an engineer, avoid responsibility. That's what senior engineers get paid for.

if your Case has a large enough opening from the other side panel then you don't need to remove the motherboard.

 

and 65C is really fine, you can get an AIO if you wanna drop temps so you could overclock or if you want some peace of mind, but really it's fine.

 

Ryzen reaches a temp of 95C before it starts thermal throttling

65C is good, especially with a stock cooler. You're fine.

 

If you were to get an AIO liquid cooler, you just mount the block onto the CPU and the radiator somewhere at the top or front of your case. You probably won't need to remove the motherboard to get the posts on. Water cooling really depends on your case and where you could mount a  radiator. 

 

If I were you, I wouldn't worry about those temps or spending the money on water cooling. If your CPU passes 80C for more than a few moments, then look into a beefer air cooler and some more case fans. At least turn up your cpu fan curve.

 

If your CPU is getting close to 95C, then you need to replace the cooler or troubleshoot, something is wrong.

Perfectly fine. I like to curve my CPU and GPU fans so that they hit 100% while I game.

 

A lot of people like to keep their pc as quiet as they can, but I'd rather have a better gaming machine than a better sounding or looking one.
