The CPU began to overheat unexpectedly.
The CPU began to overheat unexpectedly.
Here are some observations about the setup:
The processor is a Ryzen 5 5600X, not overclocked.
The cooling system uses an MSI Coreliquid 360R AIO.
This machine has been in use since the early days of the 30-series launch and has remained stable until now.
It began producing a buzzing noise during startup.
Under light loads it tends to shut down due to overheating.
It looks like the pump is not working properly, so consider swapping it for an air cooler temporarily (keep the original until you find a better one). How was the radiator positioned?
It's curious I thought it would be an air bubble, but it seems more like the pump failed completely. Either way, it looks like a dead pump.
I tested it with another cooler and found the issue was with the airflow unit. A technician attempted a repair, but some residue remained that prevented proper cooling. The problem persists even after clearing it. Do you think a replacement is necessary?
