My nzxt kraken m22 AIO's pump broke. This caused my cpu to idle at 85-90 degrees Celsius. rip

Sorry I guess I didn't word it right but everything is at stock settings, including all speeds. Nothing performs like it used to, though.

About a month ago, when my computer was working just fine, I decided that I wanted to upgrade my system from 2x8gb of 3200mhz ram to 4x8gb of 3200mhz ram. Before I upgraded, however, I decided to upgrade my bios just to ensure that I didn't run into any hiccups (boy was the ironic). I updated my bios just fine, however I didn't realize that it changed how my xmp profiles worked. Little did I know that I was actually overclocking all four stick of ram to 6400 mhz. My system crashed a lot and threw BSODs (irql_not_less_or_equal) and I couldn't figure out why. When I did figure it out, nothing has worked the same since. Currently I'm running my old setup with the original 2x4gb of 3200mhz ram and none of my programs work like they used to. Rocket league, for example, will struggle to perform only during online matches and when it tries to load stuff like the item shop. Chrome sometimes struggles to load pages and youtube videos go wack when I try going fullscreen sometimes. When I use FL Studio, the cpu will struggle to perform some tasks that I didn't used to before. Things I have tried: *Testing ram with ram tester (nothing was wrong) *checking pins on cpu *trying different ram *resetting to default bios config *going back to original bios version (didn't do anything so I brought it back to new) *checking for any malware or virus *checking for messed up storage (I use two ssds) *Updated drivers for chipset *Updated drivers for gpu *Updated windows My system: (OS 64 bit) PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor $184.99 @ Newegg CPU Cooler NZXT Kraken M22 Liquid CPU Cooler $79.98 @ Amazon Motherboard MSI B450 Gaming Plus ATX AM4 Motherboard $288.00 @ Amazon Memory G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory $99.99 @ Newegg Memory G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory $99.99 @ Newegg Storage Western Digital Blue 250 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive $40.47 @ Amazon Storage Western Digital Blue 1 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive $99.98 @ Amazon Video Card Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB GAMING OC PRO Video Card Case NZXT H510 ATX Mid Tower Case $69.98 @ Amazon Power Supply SeaSonic FOCUS Plus Gold 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply $101.94 @ Amazon Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total $1065.32 Generated by PCPartPicker 2021-02-28 23:28 EST-0500 Current Bios Version: 7B86v1E @https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450-GAMING-PLUS#down-bios

I switched to a rx 580, I'll look into the masterwatt

boom, anything else bothering you on my list?

Have any ideas?

I'm going to buy a better cooler later on, for now I'll use the wraith cooler.

I have Updated my list

Thanks Man, I'll update that.

I don't have a lot of money so I tried to make the most efficient cheap upgradable PC as possible. What do you think I can do to save any more money? PC: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6kxgCb *I have an extra Hard Drive Btw

I'm going to hope you're right because that means this build (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2cyx29) is going to be my final decision.

Will the Ryzen 5 and the 500 watt psu be enough?

I already made the cutback of reusing a 1TB HDD so would this work? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2cyx29@Crunchy Dragon

Is that even possible with a $650 budget? @Crunchy Dragon

I'm streaming fps games such as Minecraft, Fortnite, Cs:go, etc.
