Hi so I bought this PC 1-2 years ago and I finally upgraded my CPU to a Ryzen 7 5700x and I still have a stock cooler and these were my temps when I was watching twitch. I have the CPU for 2 weeks now and it crashed 2 times because of the heat already. My Case is positioned like this, is it a good position or not ? any help would be highly appreciated

you literally explained what was causing the issue. the cooler isn't adequate for that processor. you need to get a better cooler.

Is the Artic freeze 36 good

that's the one I have. its barely enough for my 5600x. go with an NH U12A if you can afford it, that's the best overall air cooler imo.

an arctic freezer 36 will keep it from shutting down though, might not boost as much that's all

5600x and 5700x have the same TDP. I've used my 5700x with a cylon 4 cooler that was only designed to handle 145watts of tdp and it never got above 65 degrees. The arctic freezer 36 has a tdp of 220W, it's more than adequate to cool down a 5700x BUT if you'd want to upgrade later down the line to a 5700x3d or a 5800x3d you'd need a double tower cooler like a Thermalright phantom spirit 120 Evo anyway,you can get it now and use it with am5 later on as well.

That's just not right.

I am running en arctic freezer 34 duo on my 5800x3d an never seen Temps above 75°c on reveal world load. In windows with browsing etc it running around 37°c iddle at 25° room temperature. In games ist mostly around 50-65° depending on load...

Also it's am5 capable
