you're dealing with an i7-9700 paired with a b365m motherboard. it seems the cpu temperature sensors might be malfunctioning, causing inaccurate readings even when the actual temps are normal. the fact that the case and exhaust air stayed cool suggests the issue isn't with cooling hardware. the bios reset didn't fix the problem, and the aio's loud grinding noise indicates a possible mechanical fault. it's worth checking the cpu's temperature sensor connections and considering a replacement if needed.
now temperatures look typical and the air purifier runs smoothly, which suggests a possible sensor problem that occasionally malfunctions.
its a different question mate, software used are hwinfo32, hwmonitor, msi afterburner and sepccy, but its irrelevant as it was showing same temp in bios too (i didnt take screenshots when it happened), could it be sensors acting up intermittently? as after few hours of the pc turned off, temps showing normal again and AIO is silent, no grinding noise
Noticed your AIO producing a grinding sound. It shouldn’t make any noise at all. The pump appears to be malfunctioning—consider replacing it. As discussed earlier, its performance isn’t satisfactory.
The PC case stayed cool consistently, with the AIO exhaust fan maintaining a steady temperature. If the AIO were malfunctioning, it would likely remain at that abnormal level rather than returning to normal.
It didn't mean the heat was escaping from the CPU. Probably not.
I concur with others : your sensors are fine, your cooler is dying Could be residues in the pump/circuit, but they can clog the circuit for a time, then be expelled, but will come back And the case and space around it is actually *cooler* when the heat stays on the CPU and isn't dissipated properly Don't think of overheating is about more power/heat, it's about same power/heat staying on a smaller area
