I'm cooling a Threadripper 3970x with a stock IceGiant and my CPU is overheating while I play Valheim.

Looks like the stock fans aren't powerful enough for how much heat a 3970x generates. When I boot into bios my CPU temp is at 55 c, and I live in a cold place too.

Does anyone have any recommendations as to what fans I should get to replace the ones on my IceGiant so that they would cool the 3970x better?

I've attached a screenshot of the stock fan specifications.

I'm thinking about going for a NF-F12 industrialPPC-3000 PWM do you guys think that would be a good choice?

When you say "overheating"-----what is the temperature in Valheim?

Have you tried re-mounting the cooler? Sounds like poor mounting contact.

The fans on the Ice Giant are made by Arctic-----they are very decent fans.

An industrial fan is not the correct fix here.

I don't know the exact temp while I'm running Valheim but I'll check next time I play. The computer blue screened and forced a restart, then on the post screen it had a message about CPU overheating.
