CPU overheating issue (temper reaches 104°C even with light use)
CPU overheating issue (temper reaches 104°C even with light use)
I’m starting this on my phone because the computer keeps overheating after just a few minutes of use. I’ve checked several things already: AIO flow, CPU cooler connection, new thermal paste, task manager for heavy processes, and I cleaned the PC. It’s a NZXT pre-built model I’ve owned for years, but only recently began noticing overheating. Usually the fix would last a couple days before it started again. I’ve tried troubleshooting myself, but I’m stuck—especially since I can’t boot for long without it shutting down. I don’t have an external drive to back up data, and I want to avoid reinstalling Windows. I set up the PC in the middle of a room with airflow at 68°F and a fan running. Please help!

The cooler might have a blocked filter or the pump could be failing, causing unpredictable performance.
Yes, I've checked that command. It helps verify system files after a repair.
It's a self-contained liquid cooling system. No upkeep required. It functions until it fails, after which it's discarded.
Yes, but occasionally you can get it serviced to reduce costs
It wouldn't function properly because the system would power down after a short time.
Certainly! Here’s a rephrased version:
Indeed, have you executed the command prior to the problems or after they occurred?
You've already tried reseating the AIO and re-thermal pasted to no effect.. Could still be broken/less functional in some way... which would be my guess as your not transferring heat out and crashing at 105*c You don't even have a hot CPU. (TDP).. I'd get an air cooler if it was me,.. for that CPU. Unless the prebuilt has different mounting holes than standard. Not the solution your after (spending money) but it's not like you have to spend the money for another AIO, just a small tower cooler will do the job unless you live in a particular hot country. Suggestion, not advice, as I don't know your financial situation. Good luck with the troubleshooting maybe someone else can help proper.
