CPU temperature runaway

Go to solution Solved by Rlmva,

It sounds like a pump failure to me. From what I know about water cooling, the temperatures can rise fast without the pump working even if the CPU is idle.

System build

GIGABYTE X570 AORUS Elite Wi-Fi

BIOS edition F33e (latest update)

AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-core

GIGABYTE Radeon RX 5500 XT OC 8G

EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G+

2x SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus SSD 2TB - M.2 NVMe

4x TEAMGROUP Elite Plus DDR4 32GB

CORSAIR - iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX CPU Cooler

 

After installing windows 10 pro system worked just fine I got an hour of mine craft in. After that I was attempting to install Ubuntu 20.10 and it crashed in the BIOS and the red rgb on my waterblock lights up before it powers off.

After CMOS reset I was able to get into the BIOS and saw the CPU temperature was rising fast even without the Ubuntu installation drive inserted.

 

Any Ideas?

The cooler was bought this Monday and was working could it have failed so soon?

Yes, coolers can die that quick. I do agree that its likely a defective/dead pump not circulating the water through the AIO. You can confirm this by placing your hand directly on the tubs next to the CPU itself and they should be getting hot quickly as a result.

You most likely just got a defective unit, unfortunately. I would suggest exchanging it for another one. Normally an AIO should last ~5 years if you take care of it.
