PC Upgrade

So I ran the new upgrades this evening, with the grand result of a boost from 110 FPS to 135...

Also the CPU spent the whole time sat at 90/91 degrees, which seems far too hot.

No idea what to do at this point. With a new cpu, gpu, psu, ram etc, there isn't much left!

You need to get those temps down as both the CPU and the GPU are running quite warm especially since you have the GPU fans at 100%. What's your case airflow like?

Maybe try tightening up the ram timings especially the TRFC which could come down by half as warzone benefits from fast/tight ram.

Thanks @Joxeon

Yes I am worried about how hot it is at stock. It was under my desk (with plenty of space around it), but I am moving it onto my desk today. Room temp was very warm too, which doesn't help.

Sorry about the dust, waiting on some compressed air equivalents to clean it out. The 4 fans (two in/on the cooler). Should I be trying to get more in?

Try removing the side panel off the case and see how the temps are then after an hour of gaming.

I had the panel off when I ran my Heaven and Cineworld benchmarks, and that sat around 89.

Did you set up DOCP again once upgrading the parts in BIOS? Also, whats is your CPU voltage set to? My 5800x was running ridiculously warm under a water loop and it runs perfectly capable now at 1.2v. Try setting yours at 1.25v and see if its stable during benches, should help a bit with temps too.

You need better intake fans regardless and that dust filter looks very restrictive. What case do you have ?

Get 2 of theese for front intakes or 3 if you want a better exhaust fan.

I did re-set the DOCP after the upgrade, hopefully that should all be fine - I believe it looks fine based on the bench. Core voltage on CPU-Z is saying 1.044V but fluctuates?

It's a Lancool One Midi tower. Thank you for the fan suggestions, something clearly needs to be done as not only do I not want to damage anything, it makes my room far too hot!

That sounds like the SOC voltage, which should stay Auto really. The VDDCR CPU Voltage is the one you need to adjust.

Ah ok, thank you. The VDDCR is 1.2 per Ryzen Master.

You can put 3 x 120mm in the front of your case.

Good luck.

Try reseating the cooler and make sure the CPU has a thin layer of paste covering.

I have tried reseating the cooler. I can't see whether it is flush on the cpu, but there is a layer of thermal paste on the underside, so I'm assuming so? My concern is how flush the fan sits over the ram.
