I own a Ryzen 7 5800x paired with a Lian Li galahad 360 AIO. My case is a lian li 011D featuring nine fans. Previously, idle temperatures hovered around 40°C and peaked between 60-65°C during heavy use. After updating the BIOS (needed because my armory crate app stopped working), idle temps rose slightly. Since the 5800X tends to overheat, I wasn’t concerned. Now it stays at 60-65°C and reaches 90°C under stress tests like Cinebench. I expected a fix by reapplying thermal paste, but temperatures only dropped a few degrees. Does this suggest a problem with my AIO? I’ve heard Galahad AIOs can be sensitive. If not, what steps can I take to lower the temps? I’ll share a photo of my case so others can see the airflow setup.
Increase the pump speed for the AIO. Ensure all fans operate at their maximum capacity quietly. Check if this adjustment improves performance. A recent BIOS update could have altered pump speed, possibly reducing it from earlier versions.
PC looks great. If this occurred after a BIOS update, it might be related to fan curve or pump speed. Have you verified those settings?
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a shot—I've never undervolted a CPU before.
You verified the actual fan speed rather than relying on the curve settings. The BIOS adjustment might have taken precedence over the app’s configuration, making this timing coincidence highly unlikely. AIO malfunctions are always due to physical component issues.
