Hi,
I have a AMD Ryzen 7 5800X with ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360 in a Be Quiet PURE BASE 600 SILVER case. It's been great for 4 years but recently playing games I could feel it getting hotter so I checked the temps - the CPU is hitting 90.6 while playing Oblivion. It's fine while in normal use, just gaming pushes it way up. I have checked and cleaned the fans, cleaned and re-pasted the CPU but it's not made any difference so I assume next step is to replace the cooler. Only other thing I have doen recently is go up to 64gb RAM. The GPU is 3090ti, that tops out at 75 in games (checking with Open Hardware Monitor).
The case was actually a bit of an issue as I ended up having to put the Arctic fans against the front of the case rather than the top as they were too big to fit there, so can anyone recommend a good cooler either physically smaller than that so I can put it on the top of the case or I guess air cooling if that is an option for this CPU? If I get one with 2 fans rather than 3 hopefully it should fit. Elsewhere in the case i have a fan in the back for intake and one at the top for exhaust.
Thanks -
