I've assembled a new gaming PC, everything is great, but I noticed that my ryzen 5 3600 gets 80 degrees warm while playing fortnite with a load of 40% I have already bought a new cpu cooler and installed the fans at full power.

Did you put thermal paste on it?

You don't need to worry about anything below 80 ° C.

From 100 ° C it becomes critical. Most of the time, the computer switches itself off before heat damage occurs.

If you want to improve that, you can check whether enough thermal paste has been applied. Or it just has to be able to get more air into the housing.

And of course the cooler is crucial. But you've already improved it.

Try an AIO water cooling. Got one from Goldenfield for 70 euro and my 3700x, which sometimes got hot at 90 ° C, is now running at 68 ° C under load
