Yesterday evening I did the most basic maintenance: dusting.

I cracked her open and WOW. The AIO heatsink and dust filters were caked with dust. Like ugly El Paso dust. My GPU fans, CPU fan, and everything else were just grimed up in filth. So, I took Q tips, a duster, and lots of lung air to clean it out as best I could. I feel stupid in saying this, but... it worked. -_____-

So yeah... temps are fine and fans don't sound like the world is ending. I learned my lesson.

I've seen you have fixed the issue but this is my experience.

I have undervolted my 5800x (same TDP as an 5900x).
My 5800x was running around 80 to 85 °c using stock settings in the BIOS, playing around with PBO2 did lower it a little bit (75 °c max). But I was getting BSoD and instabilities all related with overclocking. Tried alot of things to lower temps etc but the stability was not great. Until I really was sick off it, disabled everything off automatic OC'en and other stuff, put the Multiplier on 45 en the Vcore on 1.2 V (stock is 1.4 volt).
So now I have a 5800x running at 4500MHz @ 1.2 Vcore with a max temp of 60-ish °c and no instability issues with an CoolerMaster Hyper 212 (v1).

GRID Legends is looking pretty good.

I use wife's hair drier with a nozzle to do the same job.

I use my air compressor.

I use the endless supply of deep sighs I get from reading work tickets.

I don't have one. So I had to get creative.

I didn't even know they were making another GRID game

Speaking of games in development, it appears Fallout New Vegas 2 may actually be a thing (although years out) with Obsidian at the wheel.

That would be a rare Day One purchase for me....

It honestly doesn’t look bad at all. The gameplay videos are impressive, cheesy acting but I would describe it with a Forza + GT bastard son. With F1 like graphics. I might pull the trigger on it and give it a whirl.
