Hey everyone! I recently built a new PC and I'm starting to have some doubts regarding its temperature under load. Here's the breakdown of my build:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D
- **Cooler**: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 360 Pro A-RGB Black
- **RAM**: Corsair 64 GB KIT DDR5 6000 MHz CL30 Vengeance RGB Grey EXPO
- **Case**: NZXT H9 Flow Black
- **Power Supply**: ASUS ROG STRIX 1200 W PLATINUM
- **Motherboard**: MSI MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI
- **GPU**: MSI GeForce RTX 5080 16G GAMING TRIO OC
- **SSD 1**: Samsung 990 PRO 2 TB
- **SSD 2**: Samsung 990 PRO 4 TB
I have custom fan settings where I removed all case fans and added new ones with specific placements: three 140mm fans at the bottom as intakes and four 120mm fans at the back and side for exhaust.
While just using Windows, my CPU stays around 50°C and my GPU is about 42°C. However, when I hit the games like BF6 and God of War in 4K Ultra, CPU temps go from 65°C to 75°C (typically around 60% load) and GPU temps reach 65°C to 79°C (usually maxed out at 99% load).
I'm a bit worried since I've seen others get much cooler temps, like around 50°C. What do you all think? Should I be concerned about these temperatures? Any advice would be appreciated!

Your temps are higher than average, but a few adjustments might help. Make sure all GPU fans are functioning properly and that your case fans are set up to create balanced airflow. Depending on your room's temperature, high ambient conditions could also contribute to the heat.
All GPU fans are working, and I double-checked the case fans’ orientation. My room is quite cold, around 20°C.
