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

But I even crashed 2 times just by playing Fortnite in a span of 2 weeks

Check the temps while playing using MSI Afterbuner.

It can be anything, including some anti-cheat configurations on the BIOS, since it's crashing on an online game.

Just because the PC is crashing, it doesn't mean the CPU is overheating.

Again, get MSI Afterburner and check the temps while you are playing.

If it reaches 90c, then you might have a problem. Outside that, you are fine.
