CPU temperature reaches 100°C during operation with AIO cooling.
I tried setting up my first PC with an AIO cooler. Right after power-on, the CPU temperature was between 85-90°C, then rose to 100°C and then shut down. After reinstalling the cooler and applying more thermal paste, it briefly dropped to 60°C before jumping back up to 80°C and then back to 100°C, causing it to fail again. Fixing it helped a bit, but I’m unsure what else might be causing the issue. Any advice or solutions would be appreciated.
It would be useful to know the exact AIO and CPU model you're using. This suggests the pump might not be functioning properly—possibly because it's not connected or is dead. Verify it's powered on, then check for movement by touching it near the CPU block (some units have the pump in the radiator). If it doesn't move, consider contacting support and request a replacement.
Due to my disorganized cable setup, the power cable for the CPU cooler was missing. Thank you for allowing me to inspect the connections again.
