kiingbrand0, all caps do not help. The maximum temperature for the 5800X is 90C, so these temperatures are a little high but still OK. If you want lower temperatures get a better cooler. Post a screenshot of Ryzen Master (RM) running Cinebench R24 Multicore. John.

Several things can cause higher than normal CPU Temperature after a certain amount of time has passed.

 

1- The thermal paste on the CPU Cooler might have dried out or lost its efficiency after a year. So I would apply new Thermal paste making sure all the old thermal paste was removed using 90% or higher Isopropyl Alcohol.

 

2- Dirty Air CPU Cooler Heat sink. Make sure the CPU Cooler heat sink is clean of dust and dirt.

 

3- CPU Cooler fan not running as well as before or you need to create a more aggressive CPU Cooler fan profile where it will go to maximum speed at a lower CPU temperature.

 

4- Poor air circulation inside your PC case.  Remove the side panel and see if your average CPU temps are slightly cooler than before.

 

5- Clean out your PC Case air filters and screens. If dirty that can cause poor air circulation.

 

6- Make sure all of your PC Case fans are working. If one has gone bad that can cause poor air circulation in your PC case.

 

7- Make sure your PSU is outputting proper voltages to your Motherboard and hardware.

 

8- Your ambient Room temperature is hotter than normal. Hot rooms will circulate hot air inside your PC case.
