Hello,

I recently built my first gaming PC and I would like to know if it's normal for my processor to reach 80 to 85 degrees while gaming, even though I have water cooling.

I have a Ryzen 5 with a Liquid Freezer 2 (240) water cooler.

    I think I put just the right amount, not too much and not too little, I think maybe I just tightened it wrong, but is it really that serious? I've seen people say that CPUs can handle this kind of temperature without necessarily burning out...

      normally there is an overheating protection on the motherboard
      if it gets too hot the PC shuts down
      but 80/85 degrees is not normal

        After a bit more precision, I played Cyberpunk 2077 (which is not really a model of optimization) and at the beginning, the processor was at 74 degrees but after 2 hours of gaming, it rose to around 85.

        So if there is safety, should I let it run for a while to see if it activates or should I go directly to a professional who can tell me where exactly the problem comes from as quickly as possible?

        Honestly, as long as it stays under 90, there's no need to worry.
