I recently upgraded my CPU from a Ryzen 5 5600G to a Ryzen 9 5900X and also changed the cooler. Now, I've noticed that my GPU hotspot temperature has spiked to around 110°C (230°F). What could be causing this sudden temperature rise? Could it be a software issue or something related to GPU thermals? It was performing fine before the upgrade.
Here's my build:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core
- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT
- PSU: 850W
- Motherboard: GIGABYTE Aorus B450 Pro WiFi

Did you notice any boost in FPS after your CPU upgrade? Sometimes, a CPU increase can affect overall system performance, which might indirectly influence GPU temps during intense gaming.
Yeah, I tested it in Minecraft and For Honor, and the FPS definitely increased.
