Context: I am building a PC for gaming and I allready have some componants in mid but I still would like some input and Ideas for cooling.

Budget: 7k€ - 8€k (Only PC no monitor and accessories).

Current componant list:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 98003xd
• GPU: MSI 5080 gaming trio
• Motherboard: MSI x870e ace max  [not decided]; (MSI x870e carbon)
• Ram: crucial pro ddr5 32gb 6000mhz (2*16)
• Storage: Crucial p310 (2*4tb and 1*1TB)
• Case: Fractal Design North XL  [not decided]
• PSU: MSI MAG A1000GL PCIE5 *⁵   [not decided]
• Fans and AIO:*  *² *³ *⁴    [not decided]
• Thermalpaste: Arctic MX7 [not decided]

* [arctic liquid freezer iii pro 360 / 420 ; MSI MAG coreliquid I360; Corsair titan 360 / 420]

*² [thinking about switching the fans of the AIO to better Airflowfans in case of the arctic]

*³ [I am not sure wich fans I should use on my list are (Noctua NF-S12 (A or B ), Corsair lx fans 3 pack)]

*⁴ [I still have some Arctic P12 Pro fans. Could I use them to build a secondary airflow system at the bottom to draw air from the side intakes and direct it into the case, like in the second picture? (for more and better airflow.)]

*⁵ [MSI Desktop PC PSU MPG A1250GS PCIE5 or MSI Desktop PC PSU MEG Ai1600T PCIE5]

The issue I'm having is that my PC suddenly shuts off without giving any details about why it shut down.

The shutdown mostly happens while playing games or while programming with Python.

For context, the PC is a temporary laptop that I use for gaming and personal use. It is an MSI A17 B8V and is usually connected to a power supply. (Windows 11)

Things I have already tried:

I tried to find issues in the Windows system files.

I ran sfc /scannow to check for file corruption.

I investigated whether it was a heating problem by cleaning the fans, using an external cooling pad, and checking that the fans were working correctly. The temperature usually stays between 40°C and 68°C.

I reinstalled the graphics driver.

I checked for updates (Windows and graphics drivers).

I looked into the files that most often seem to be involved when the shutdown occurs, but they appear undamaged and work correctly.

I tested the system with a different set of RAM sticks.

I checked the power supply and battery, and neither appears to have any issues. The problem also occurs when the laptop is running on battery power.

 

I hope that someone can give me more Ideas to try or if someone has a fix for the Issue.
