Hey everyone! I just built my first PC, and I'm super excited about it! However, I've noticed that while playing games like Rocket League, R6X, and CS2, my CPU temperatures spike to 90-95 degrees Celsius. Once I exit the games, the temps drop down to about 58-62 degrees. I'm starting to get really concerned that these high temperatures might damage my CPU. Are these temperatures normal for the Ryzen 5 7600x? Is there anything I can do to manage the heat better, like limiting the CPU temperature in BIOS or improving my CPU cooler? By the way, my computer is in a spot with limited airflow. Here are my specs:
- CPU: Ryzen 5 7600x
- CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120
- Case: MSI MAG Forge 121A Airflow
- GPU: AMD RX7600 8GB VRAM Triple Fan Gigabyte
Thanks in advance for any help!

You might want to try undervolting your CPU. It's a great way to reduce heat output without sacrificing too much performance. There's a ton of guides out there that can help you with the process!
But won't that reduce my performance?
