Thanks for the idea! I have a wraith spire AMD cooler that came with the CPU ( the one with the bigger heatsink). Would it be okay to use that or should I get a noctua type of air cooler?

I'm a seventh grader and I just built my first PC a few months ago. My CPU is the AMD Ryzen 5 3600x, my aio cooler is the masterliquid ml 240l rgb, my motherboard is the gigabyte x570 gaming x, my case is the nzxt h510, my gpu is the founders edition rtx 2060 super, and my memory is a 2x16 kit of 3600 speed ddr4 g.skill ripjaws. I also have a 500 gb ssd and a 2tb hard drive. Right after I finished building my PC in November, I noticed that the temperatures exceeded 100 degrees Celsius while simply opening up Chrome, and sometimes even idling. Whenever I tried to game at medium settings and 1080p, the CPU would get so hot, the sytem would turn off to prevent further damage. I took it to a PC repair shop and they told me that the pump of my cooler was probably broken. As a result, I got a new cooler of the same model and it worked well for the first two weeks: 20 degrees celsius idle and 60 degrees celsius at max stress. Also, my gpu, hard drive, ssd, and memory are all always around 20 degrees Celsius. For the past 2 months, the CPU has been doing extremely well for 2 days and then throttles every day for the next 2 weeks. Also, I changed and reapplied my thermal paste two times. The thermal paste is certified too. I don't undestand why my Cpu or cooler is doing this. If anyone could help, that would be great. Thanks.

Ok thank you. I'll try to return it and get the same AIO cooler because it is very cheap but the new one will prob work.

Hi everyone! I recently built a PC about a month ago. When it first posted, the system seemed okay, but after I downloaded some apps to check the CPU temperature, I realized that the CPU was running at an average of 100 degrees Celsius. Oof. My part list is attached. When I finished building the system, but I soon realized the CPU was way too hot, so I tried ramping up the fan speeds. However, this didn't work either, so I gave it to a PC repair store, confused. A week later, they told that either the ml240l AIO cooler I bought wasn't compatible with the x570 chipset or it was a faulty piece. They found that the pump wasn't working, and only the fans on the rad and the case fans were spinning. I still don't know wut to do. If u can help, thank u.
