I did a prime95 stress test on my new PC and was a bit alarmed by how hot it got and how fast.
I have a Ryzen 5800x CPU and Arctic Liquid Freezer II cooler (both brand new), but managed to reach 91c within 10 minutes (at which point I aborted the test). Tried the test again about 20 minutes later and again, reached 91c within 8 minutes.
I wasn't expecting such high temps with the set up I have. Is there potentially a need for me to reapply thermal paste? I had a bit of difficulty applying the cooler and had to take it off and reaffix it several times (thanks to arctic not including an instruction manual with the cooler).
Any tips would be highly appreciated!
