I have an Asus ROG Strix B450-F motherboard, AMD Ryzen 5 3600 overclocked to 4,150 MHz, and the stock AMD CPU cooler. I tried to control the fan from the motherboard, but it didn’t work. I also have two NVMe SSDs, two SATA SSDs, ODD, three 140mm case fans, and a 120mm case fan, all fans blowing inward, all housed in a Corsair 110R case.

    My question is why does the temperature in the processor vary over a six-hour period when the voltage, fan speed, and room temp don’t change? Do I need a better cooler? Check out the six-hour graph I have attached, and you’ll see what I mean.
