Hey everyone! I recently upgraded my gaming rig for indie game development because my previous GPU (RTX 3070) was struggling with VRAM. My current setup includes an AMD Ryzen 9 9900X with a Deep Cool AK620 Digital Pro cooler, an ASUS Prime B650M-R motherboard, a Gigabyte RTX 5070 Ti Gaming OC GPU (which I bought for about ₹86,000), 32GB of DDR5 RAM, an MSI MAG A850GL PSU, 4TB of storage (with 2TB being HDD), and a Deep Cool Matrexx Mesh 55 case.
I've noticed my CPU hits around 90°C under full load, usually hanging around 83-87°C, while idling at about 47-50°C. This is with my room AC set to 24°C. I've tried adjusting the cooler's fan orientation, which seemed to help temporarily. I'm concerned if hitting 90°C is normal or if I need to address this. Also, considering my jump to the RTX 5070 Ti for game development, do you think it's a good choice? Any insights are appreciated!

You're looking pretty good! That Ryzen 9 is designed to handle heat up to around 95°C, so while 90°C is on the higher side, it's within safe limits. If you're worried, you could consider upgrading to a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 for some extra cooling, but honestly, your current setup is sufficient and you shouldn’t stress too much about those temps.
