I recently assembled a PC and am relatively satisfied, but I have the feeling that the CPU is getting too hot.
For information I have installed:
AsRock B450M Pro 4 motherboard
Ryzen 5 3600 processor and the boxed cooler
and as a graphics card the AMD Radeon RX 5700.
This is built into the Sharkoon TG4 housing

This has 4 built-in fans one at the rear and 3 at the front.
The CPU's temperature is around 50 degrees and the graphics card is idle.
For example, when I start Fortnite, the CPU quickly goes up to 80 degrees and the graphics card mostly in the same area.
With the graphics card I read that according to AMD temperatures up to 110 degrees should be in the legitimate range, but I have the feeling that the values are still relatively high.
I have already raised the CPU cooler above the BIOS, the case fans are only connected to the power supply and can therefore not be adjusted.
My question now, what can it be and should I use a new CPU cooler?
If so, on which? I'm afraid that a new and maybe bigger radiator would cover the fan on the back of the case
With the cooling solutions, completely normal. Especially with the ambient temperature.
A e.g. Bequiet PureRock for the CPU makes a huge difference in volume and temperature. Despite 80mm fan.
I think that you should either buy an AIO water cooling or a good air cooler in your TDP range. As far as the temperature of the graphics card is concerned, the first thing that occurs to me would be clogged cooling fins or a fan could have failed.
80 degrees is ok. If the temperature gets too high, the PC switches off automatically.
What about the room temperature? Maybe your boxed cooler is not sitting properly on the Ryzen.
For safety's sake, it is best to dismantle again, tighten the screws so that you feel resistance with two fingers. When idling in the bios, the temperature should be around 35 - 40 ° C. If necessary adjust the fan curve even more aggressively, especially in summer things like to sweat…
In principle, 80 degrees are ok, but you can say that everything from 80 degrees shortens the life of the processor
An AIO is relatively unnecessary, just looks good.
Why is an AIO unnecessary please?
I had the same problem with the boxed cooler. 50-60 degrees already in idle and in games quickly to 80-90. Since I live under the roof and it gets hotter in summer (was September), I then replaced the cooler.
More expensive than an air cooler and only partially more effective.
Hello the fans of the graphics card work automatically and switch on from 50 °
