Asked By TechieTurtle92 On

I recently built my first PC with a Ryzen 5 5600X and an RX 9060XT, but I'm having trouble with overheating. The system keeps resetting, which I believe is due to high temperatures. I've tried undervolting and other adjustments, but nothing seems to help. A friend of mine has the same CPU, and he's not experiencing any temperature issues, so I'm at a loss. Should I consider investing in better cooling solutions?

It sounds like you might need to look into better cooling options or enhance your case airflow. By the way, make sure you removed any plastic covering from the CPU before installation, right?

What cooler are you using? Was it installed properly? It's essential to remove the plastic cover on the heatsink and ensuring the thermal paste is applied correctly. If you haven't replaced the thermal paste, that could also help.

It seems there could be an issue with your cooler. Make sure there's no leftover plastic from the cooler, as that can cause serious overheating.
