Running at thermal limit after days of normal operation.
Running at thermal limit after days of normal operation.
Hello! I'm facing a problem with my new PC setup. It's a Ryzen 7 9700x with an Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 mounted at the top. This morning when I first tried to start it, the fans started spinning up, making me worry about the fan curve settings. I checked hwinfo and noticed some freezing issues. I powered off the machine by pressing the power button for a hard reset, then went into BIOS where I saw an idle temperature of 67°C before it shut down itself. Previously, everything ran smoothly with normal temperatures during both idle and full load, and I hadn't made any changes the day before. Next, I tried shorting the JBAT1 connection on my MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk motherboard to clear CMOS. The process showed a slight difference, allowing me to boot into Windows. The temperatures stayed between 80°C and 95°C across all cores, even though it was using only 25W power. I could re-seat the CPU or apply more thermal paste, but this seems unusual since it happened overnight. What steps should I take to troubleshoot further?

When the processor heats up, inspect both sections of the AIO tubes to check their temperature. If only one or none feel warm, the water circulation within the AIO isn't functioning properly.
When activated, press the AIO tubes and notice the flow of water.
It seems water is flowing somewhere, and I detected some vibrations from the tubes. I plan to disconnect several fans to confirm it's due to high usage. Also observing some heat escaping from the top of the radiator.
