Heating problems

[kalarnieking]

hey, my pc CPU is idling at 77-80 degC and is, under load, hitting 95 degC easily but probably hotter because that’s just the threshold of the monitoring software.

the CPU is a Ryzen 7 3700X with a Kraken M22 liquid cooler.
GPU is an RTX 2060 Super and has idle temps of 30 degC and has never had heating issues once in the 8 months i’ve had the pc.

i checked to make sure the cooler was properly mounted, it WASN’T, i mounted it correctly and the temps went down by maybe 1 degree. i ordered new thermal paste, applied it, and the temps went right back up to what they were before and i’m quite sure i didnt apply too much. the temp in my room is maybe 60 degF and my friend with nearly the exact same build as me, with a different cooling system, is having zero heating issues and is in the same environment as me. is this issue my cooler? the Kraken M22 is a one fan, one rad liquid cooling system. the liquid cooling is something i’d like to continue using but will cost me around 200$ to upgrade to a better cooling system. i could also switch to an air cooled, fan with heatsink type of system but i’d much prefer to stay with something similar to what i have now. i just want to be sure of what my problem is before i spend a large chunk of money. any help you all can give would be appreciated.

It is odd that you can recall the info for the other parts but not that of the most important component in the computer, you can get the brand and model name or number off the information label that can be found on all good quality brand PSUs,
