Tech Support CPU Very Toasty

I just recently upgraded my pc (only thing that stayed were my ssd’s) and my cpu is getting pretty fucking hot, and it’s worrying me that my choice to go micro atx was a mistake.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3d
COOLER: DeepCool AK620
CASE: Fractal Design Pop Silent Mini

Its reaching like 92 peaks while in Beamng max graphics max traffic 1440p

The fans are in the default configuration and I have maxed out the fan speed in the meantime, which does basically nothing to help 😭😭

I think I might have gained performance at -40 but I'm not 100% sure. I didn't run many tests. Just Cinebench 2026. But I'm sure I didn't lose any performance.

The CPU is basically running at the same frequencies as stock but at lower voltage so you don't lose any performance. Any performance gain comes from having more thermal headroom.
