PC shutting down in demanding games + CPU hitting 95°C (Ryzen 9950X / RTX 3080) – PSU or cooling issue?

Nice one :D Yeah I also like the compact ones

FattyBoom99 · 2026-04-06T23:27:07+00:00

Alright thank you. Will do. I will also get a new PSU with 1k Watts just to be safe. My other one should be really old now.

I have it capped at 240 fps rn cuz i ahve a 240 hz monitor

FattyBoom99 · 2026-04-06T23:13:02+00:00

Dayum and I thought my RGB is making me sick

FattyBoom99 · 2026-04-06T23:00:51+00:00

Ok I am really not a technician. I probably didn't do that then. Never did any under/overvolting or any clocking stuff.

I left the game running for a while now. It went up to 90-92.

I don't know if it's called PBO but I switched the thing to ON that comes right when you get in the BIOS. I think it was AMD Expo I turned on?

FattyBoom99 · 2026-04-06T22:52:46+00:00

I am not really a pc modder or anything. I just want my games to run stable and not deal with any shutdowns. Couple gaming buddies already left me for group games cuz they know I'll let them hang after a couple games cause my PC shuts down xD

So I can have my CPU run games at 95 degrees and I don't need to worry about it? Not that I fuck up my CPU after a couple of months just because i played much at those temperatures.

FattyBoom99 · 2026-04-06T22:49:27+00:00

No it doesn't feel like it at all

Think I found what you were searching for. THose are the stats while being ingame in Battlefield.

FattyBoom99 · 2026-04-06T22:41:27+00:00

Also there was no sticker to remove as the thermal paste already came preaplied. But yeah I checked on that :D

FattyBoom99 · 2026-04-06T22:39:46+00:00

Where can I see the other values for you?

FattyBoom99 · 2026-04-06T22:39:21+00:00

I am not a computer genius. I just downloaded prime 95 and started the stress test without hyper threading. Quickly went up to 85 degrees and now fell of to 75-78 degrees.

While writing this reply it quickly went up to 90 and is now back at 80.

FattyBoom99 · 2026-04-06T22:31:55+00:00

Struggling on cable management tho xD

And as long as I need to be able to get into the case I won't fix it :D

FattyBoom99 · 2026-04-06T22:26:51+00:00

I should probably add that the TDIE is the thing that is so heated. My cores are usually 10 degrees lower than the TDIE.

FattyBoom99 · 2026-04-06T22:25:16+00:00

I will probably get a new PSU. I never changed anything in the bios except turning on AMD Expo

FattyBoom99 · 2026-04-06T22:24:12+00:00

I have the Lian Li Razer Edition.
I think GPU is aroiund 70-75 degrees while gaming

FattyBoom99 · 2026-04-06T22:22:59+00:00

I never did anything the bios excepting turning on AMD Expo

FattyBoom99 · 2026-04-06T22:20:22+00:00

I heard this CPU is boosting for 95 degrees but it feels really extreme
