PC overheating? or Freezing

[Nubaca]

This is my PC, I run games in 4k on a predator x34 21:9 gaming monitor. All the settings on ultra and my card overclocked to 135 for gpu offset and 25 mem clock offset. I also clocked my CPU to 4.9 ghz

 

I applied new thermal paste to the cpu but when I play a game like gta 5 online for a long time it just freezes and I have to push the power button to boot. Any ideas on whats causing this?

Probably instability, try either increasing the vcore slightly (temp permitting) or lower the speed to 4.8ghz

I had this problem even before I overclocked my CPU, I've read that the 9590 has a heat problem could it be that I need a new water cooler? With a bigger radiator?

That cooler is weak, the H80 was worse than my 212 evo, try a H100i

Ok and increasing vcore do you mean voltage? And how do I do that for my CPU? In bios?

I just increased the vcore and lowered the cpu clock to 4.8 ghz I hope that works

by like .025volts at a time, testing each time for stability and heat

Did you mean 0.025V? Going up a quarter of a volt is crazy high.

Lol good.  I just hope you fix it before the OP fries his CPU.
