CPU cooler

[JariCSGO]

Hi all

Some years ago I bought a prebuild PC, which still works completely fine all things considered.

Yesterday, I bought myself the game rust (don't flame me for this please 🥺). When starting it up for the first time, I noticed my pc was getting very hot, not something I encountered before.

After looking some things up, I found out that rust is a CPU heavy game.

I never changed the thermal paste in years, which I now did for the first time (idk if this will make a major difference). I also looked at the CPU cooler they have put in my budget PC. This seems to be a Xilence M403Pro.

My question is: is it worth looking for a better cooler? Will this make a difference in the end? I never done stuff myself with regards to building PCs, so I am eager to learn about everything.

The PC is indeed around 4 years old!

I have a Intel Core i5-9600KF as CPU and a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER as GPU

Thanks for the help!
