PC temperatures

WSXTGBUJM952 · August 29, 2022

So I'm not sure if my PC is overheating or not but my CPU reaching temps of 98 degrees C. While Apex Legends was running the current temps were like 95, 96 and 98 degrees Celsius. Is this a problem? If so how can I fix it. I am running the stock CPU cooler that the Ryzen 5 5600x comes with but since it comes with it I highly doubt that the cooler isn't good enough. I also have 3 intake fans and 1 exhaust fan. Could it be my settings? Nvidia GeForce? Idk.

Oof, that temp is not safe anymore, check the official max operating temps.

Is your CPU cooler fans at max speed? If so, clean it. If not, try to reset the fan curve, or manually set the fan curve.

Have you cleaned the cooler or your case?

The stock cooler does just enough, but not good enough. If your cpu cooler is clean and was properly installed, I'd say you need more exhaust, usually with 3 intake at least 2 exhaust.

If after all the above is done and it still runs hot, I'd just go with a decent aftermarket coolers.
