Hi! Just switched from an nvidia card to a rx 7900 GRE. I launched up Escape from tarkov Arena, and my cpu reached the craziest temps I have never seen before. Additionally, I followed an OC / Undervolt guide on youtube, and posted my current tuning settings. With my 3060 12gb I never had these problems. Granted, I have more fps now. Please advise! (I have a 5800x3d)

damn

# mental grove Meaning?

the older ryzen 7 5800x3d is the hottest of the ryzen 7 x3d family and with a stock cooler it would get toasty, with the 3060 you basically weren't touching its performance capability

mental grove
#

ahhhhh

#

I see

#

Thank you for explaining

#

That was hella scary

#

Is there anything else I can do

#

Besides buying a new cooler?

fierce cape
#

just getting a better air cooler would help a lot

#

Tysm. Any recommendations or should I just go to reddit?

fierce cape
#

hold on

#

Thermal peerless assassin 120 6 heat pipes

#

and its under $40

mental grove
#

Thank you!!!

#

One more thing, is 80 celsius really bad?

#

I mean usually I had it at 50

fierce cape
#

no, your cpu can handle prolong temps of 95

mental grove
#

Ah okay

fierce cape
#

but it will last longer if you keep it cooler

#

heat degrades chips

#

Do you have any recommendations on Canada Computers?

#

Thermalright doesnt seem to be available on cc.

fierce cape
#

hmm, let me check

#

well you will want something with 6 heat pipes

#

though canada you could get away with 4 heat pipes

#

what is your budget cause I will try my hardest to find something in your CDollars in your budget

#

most of these are just flat out out of stock

#

this should keep your cpu cool

#

despite having only 4 heat pipes it cools up to 220w of heat

#

it is still under $40

#

and if you get open box you can get as low as $32

fierce cape
#

nvm it comes with a small packet of thermal paste

mental grove
#

I'm using a tomahawk b450

#

Nvm checked it should be good

#

now for deciding between the PS and PA....

# mental grove now for deciding between the PS and PA....

PS>PA. PA EVO>PS (because this is mostly the fans that matter. In fact the EVO compared to the normal one have the exact same heatsink it's just a different fan. The PA have 6 heatpipe the PS 7. It usually don't matter but apparently it does on those coolers. If the PS EVO is significantly more expensive don't get it

62 CAD, 45 USD.
