Ways to cool down a CPU?

[Ben Drinkin]

The CPU sits at 42C when looking at system info, and bluescreens during 3DMark. It's a Ryzen 7 1800X, water cooled, and I have 3 case fans. I've tried other coolers with the same results.

maybe a beefier PSU?

i think this doesn't effekt anything now
they are 5 states. OFF - no cooler - cool enough to boot up - cool enough to 3dmark and overheat
i think in feature it will be bring inside

Install the system info and maximize the system info screen in the computer. It tells you exactly what power supply to use under total system power draw (Scroll down on the program window). As long as you have that settled, there are many other issues to getting the system working right. Are you using two gpu's? If so make sure you use as large as possible fans with the highest possible CFM for the fan, and install fans in every possible fan slot. Blue screens in this game are 3 things: no thermal paste on processor, not enough fans, or power supply isn't big enough. You need to check out these 3 aspects of the computer.

Bought another of the same PSU and it worked, it was messing up for some reason.

Have you tried putting in higher rated case fans? If you are using RGB fans they certainly look nice but are not the best at cooling things down. Look for the highest CFM case fans you can find and add those, does that help?

Appreciate all the responses, but the issue was a bugged PSU. At the moment I believe the game thought that I still had the older, lower output PSU installed instead of the newer one.

I notice you mention that above. I need to install an ability to read. :P
