CPU Temperature.
I currently game with an AMD Ryzen 5 2600x and a Geforce RTX 2060. I have no frame problems in game, no freezes or any kind of stuff like that but what I noticed is that in game my CPU reches temperatures up to 75°C after like 1hour and a half. I have stock AMD cooler, i plan on buying maybe a water cooling system or a noctua fan. Will see which one is best.
Inside the case i have one stock fan at the back and one Be Quiet at the front, i have one more space for an extra fan at the front.

I want to ask, is 75° safe for my CPU? Does it shorten its life ? Will it break faster?
The games I played and reached to 75° so far are the witcher 3, for honor, overwatch all in ultra.

I have a ryzen 5 2600 and run at the same temperature on overwatch.I was worried too and asked and searched a lot and it seems that these cpus are made to run at these temps in when stressed in gaming. No worries and no need for a cooling system. If you are still worried i suggest the noctua since works a little better and costs less ( if looks is not important for you ). I hope to have been helpful (sorry for any misspelss)

Temps don’t kill CPUs, Voltage does. TJ Max for most Ryzen CPUs is 95c. You’re well within the safe thermal range.
