Addressing overheating involves identifying the source and taking appropriate action.

CPU List shows the AIO status and fan connections. Fans are connected to specific components and managed by different software from two vendors. Configuration details are unclear. Under true idle conditions (CPU usage 1-3% per Task Manager), results are available. Verification is limited due to user unfamiliarity with what constitutes true idle. Under full load testing, Cinebench provides a free, easy multicore benchmark with metrics like load %, temperature, and clock speeds. HWiNFO’s dashboard can display all these stats in one image.
An important check is running all fans at full speed. Will temperatures drop? Do crashes persist? If they do, it may indicate a faulty AIO pump or air bubbles in the loop.
