Posted April 26, 2021 Hey folks, I just built my first PC in Nov 2020. Brief specs: 2 1TB NvME drives, RTX 3070 for GPU, RYZEN 5 3600, TUF B550M-PLUS (no wifi) motherboard, and a EK-AIO D-RGB 240mm radiator for cooling, in a Cooler Master MB311L case with two fans in the front, and one 120mm fan in the back. So, Armoury Crate after an update couldn't find my components (POS software), so I uninstalled/reinstalled all ASUS software... and after that, not only were the components not showing up in AC... the fans just started ramping up and CPU temps started going crazy and my CPU overheated and shutdown. Considering I don't have anything important on my main SDD, I just nuked the system and did a format of that drive, with a clean install of Win10. I also updated the TUF B550M-PLUS BIOS version to the latest, 2006 (as well as with the update, all of the DOCP and overclocking via buildzoid. The fans are running at turbo and full speed (2100RPM), and they are running in the correct configs. AC now does see my components and I am able to control them again. I've reapplied thermal paste (MX-4 from Artic). I unplugged and replugged all the fan headers (they are in the proper spots). Still overheating in idle in BIOS and while running Win10 at idle. I never had a cooling issues before yesterday, always ran at a b/t comfy 58-75C. I did feel the end of the pumps that connect to the block, and one was significantly hotter than the other. In the pic below, temps go from 58C to 84C in the span of 5 min! I am stumped and need advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, @Skiiwee29 is right. Your AIO pump is most likely dead. How old is it, and is it still under warranty? elephants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The block does get really, really hot to the touch. Man, the thing is 6 mths old...is that common? Have ppl had issues with these blocks? I bought it off GN's recommendation (and the temps before yesterday were amazing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a newer unit so its hard to say, but I would wager its highly uncommon. Community Standards | Fan Control Software Please make sure to Quote me or @ me to see your reply!

Two things: A) Got the AIO from Amazon, and this would be the 2nd part that failed from there after a short amount of usage (also had some Corsair RGB Vengeance 3600 RAM bought from there fail after a month lol) B) the same stuff happening to me is happening in this video (granted, different setup, but still): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the water block higher than the top of the AIO? Community Standards | Fan Control Software Please make sure to Quote me or @ me to see your reply!
