Desktop Keeps Rebooting During Gaming

@Harry Palms
the fact your comparing me to someone else based on posts in a forum, tells me a lot, independent of right/wrong stuff.

my problem is you telling someone to turn on pbo, on a rig that already has stability issues.
or recommending to go up in mhz/lower timings, again, on a rig with stability issues, not someone looking to squeeze out the last drop of performance.
or stating to not oc ryzen, yet thats what pbo does (goes past stock settings).

I appreciate you keeping it civil. I did not expect you to have a problem on a forum with anyone. I myself have a problem when my accountant sends me a bill for $1200. Granted I should be more consistent with my receipts LOL. If you read the comment you're referring to again, you will see I am speaking in a general sense. To anyone owning a Ryzen CPU. Fry178, I wont keep going on about this. I do not want your problem to become bigger for you in your mind. Just enjoy your day sir.
 
Hello again all, I have some questions about CPU temps,

Yesterday, after heavy gaming and usage, I realized around midnight that my CPU cooler was louder than before on a consistent basis. Normally it would get loud only when I was gaming but fairly quite on idle. Yesterday it was louder for almost an hour straight on idle. So I started to check temps, I realized the CPU temps are around 55-60 and sometimes over 60 on idle. The room temp was actually pretty low and GPU temp were around 25-30 on idle. Also, when I touch the case it was cool too.

While I was making some research, I realized(please don't judge me) that I actually put the cooler fan on the wrong way, outtake instead of intake.

Today I fixed this, and while fixing it I also tightened the screws of the heatsink a little bit.

But after that, when I check the HWInfo, CPU temps on around 55-65 on idle. That is a little worrying I'm sure. But, when I check the temps on Ryzen Master, it is around 30-40. So there is around 20 C difference between values on HWInfo and Ryzen Master. As can be seen below screenshot:

First, which one I should trust? Ryzen Master or HWInfo? Although at the moment, for around 20 minutes HWInfo also shows similar values with Ryzen Master, around 35 on idle, there is maybe 5C difference. But I'm still a little confused because while I was monitoring the temps on both software, there was around 20C difference for some time(around an hour).

And secondly, I think I need to reapply the thermal paste and reinstall the cooler, but it is impossible for another 3-4 days due to curfew(I have to buy isopropyl alcohol and new thermal paste). Would this somehow damage my CPU if I continue using it like that?

Thanks again.

Edit: So apparently this was another stupid question. Now I have an idea about the Tctl and die values. While average 35-40 C on idle is not ideal, I think it's not concerning considering I don't have any airflow on the case.

HEY @MatrimC7 OP READ THIS: It is definitely your CX750M. I replaced mine with the Seasonic SSR-550-FX and now it works fine. The crashes and restarts are gone.
The CX750M has the issue for sure
I am currently having the exact same issue with these specs:
  • GTX 1650 SUper
  • I5 9400
  • CX750M PSU
  • 2x8GB Gskill aegis 2666
  • ASus b365M-A
  • sabrent rocket Q 1 TB 2280 NVMe
It seems the CX750M is trash. It has this issue with so many other people online having the same problem. Just google CX750M restarts

Did you add more casefans?
