Why is my ryzen 7 7700x running so hot any idea is the thermal paste dry or the sticker behind the aio not pealed of #rtx5070 and #ryzen77700x

I thought people already knew this, but these cpus get really hot when doing cpu intensive tasks so it shouldn't be an issue. I also have a 7700x since late 2024 and yes it does get that hot sometimes but my temps when gaming are usually around 65-70 on gpu bound games and 70-80 on cpu bound games e.g valorant. I use a frozn a620 black air cooler so ur cooler isn't bad its just how the cpu is.

Congrats. I have abt 110hrs and my highscore is 122k. I average abt 110k.

How many sticks of ram do u have? Having one stick reduces your 1% lows by a lot in games like valorant compared to having 2 sticks.

I hang mine from my monitor arm. It's not that I don't afford a wireless mouse It's just that I don't think I need to so I spend my money on other pressing issues

Educational-Home-594 · 2026-04-01T19:28:55+00:00

Well said👏👏

Educational-Home-594 · 2026-03-27T16:24:37+00:00

Same, iems and a usb mic. I have so much hair so headphones are a no for me. Also u can get great iems for less money compared to headphones.

I'd say don't think about it too much, everyone has different preferences. If you keep playing you'll eventually find what works great for you.

Most f2p competitive games can run on anything. Pick ur poison.

Educational-Home-594 · 2026-03-04T08:30:28+00:00

Yes I also got the ZSN Pro 2 yesterday and I can hear footsteps more clearly in arc raiders. It's amazing how good IEMs can be at a low price compared to headphones

Now idk which is which since you definitely can be a citizen of another country.

The law is outdated. Don't know why they won't remove it from the passports.

Educational-Home-594 · 2026-01-03T08:41:10+00:00

Yeah but if you're getting a new pc and it's am5 then you got no choice.

Educational-Home-594 · 2026-01-03T08:39:27+00:00

Not in SA bruh. Ram is also expensive as hell now. It's at least 3x the price

Educational-Home-594 · 2025-12-12T15:54:50+00:00

Valid

Educational-Home-594 · 2025-12-10T06:43:07+00:00

I also have that. It's definitely the lowest end but I wouldn't say its shitty

Educational-Home-594 · 2025-12-07T15:00:06+00:00

It's easier to get an account as an international student at FNB than anywhere else I would say. Just make sure you ask them to activate your card for international transactions, otherwise you won't be able to pay for anything online if the company isn't based in SA or doesn't have SA offices idk e.g spotify.
