Ryzen 7 3700x temperature problems

[hiirxd]

Hope you're having a great christmas, cause I'm not ;))

I bought a prebuilt pc from Canada Computers at summer, and my CPU temp was low 70 high 60, and recently a month ago when I restarted my pc, there was an alert that told me my CPU is overheating, and when I opened Core temp it was a straight 90 degrees. So I turned it off immediately and tried to find a solution, but nothing worked, and on idle it hits high 40 (Im ok with it), and the only thing that makes me angry is that I have an AIO cooler and its doing nothing. I really need some tips or advice from you guys asap.

The other side of me says that I can just use this CPU until it gets f'd up, and change it to 5800x or 5900x, although if this can be fixed I'll appreciate using this CPU at least for another year.
(I've checked the fans and all of them work perfectly, everything have good temp, but the cpu cores are on fire. Whenever I start playing a game (anything, Fortnite, R6, Warzone all of them are the same) even on different display settings but nothing affected the temp. I get a solid 90 degrees on every game, even on Hand Simulator!

 

specs are:

Ryzen 7 3700x

RTX 3070 Ventus 2x

MSI B550 MORTAR WIFI

1TB SSD

HyperX Kingston 3200mhz 8GB  x2

MSI MPG A750GF

Might have had pump failure. What kind of AIO is it?

Its an MSI MAG 240mm AIO cooler, and I didn't get the part that u said pump failure, what does it mean and how should I know it happened or not?

 

[Chris Pratt]

The pump is what circulates the liquid in the AIO. If the pump fails, the liquid doesn't move and thus never makes it to the radiator for the heat to be dissipated. You can try to listen when the CPU is under load, if it's working you should be able to hear the liquid moving around. The only real way to know is with some sort of monitoring software, assuming it's connected properly to the pump header on your mobo, it should register RPMs. But, like any software based monitoring, it may not be accurate.

 

However, if it was cooling fine, and now it's not suddenly, it's almost certainly a pump failure.

 

It's also worth checking the orientation of the radiator to the CPU block, where the pump would be located. It should have come installed correctly if it was a prebuilt, but that doesn't always pan out. The end of the radiator without the tubes coming out of it should be higher in the system than the CPU block. If it's not, then air will accumulated at the block, and the pump essentially runs dry, which will will cause premature failure. Given that this is a relatively new system, you either got a complete lemon of an AIO or there's a high likelihood that it was installed incorrectly.

Um so yeah I have tried it under load, I can feel vibrations from them, but for the RPM part, it's 0 on BIOS, and unfortunately I'm not a pc guy and I didn't understand even a part of what you said, but thank you, I really appreciate you helping me, but I think I need a computer technician for this, and I have another question, do high temperatures on CPU damage other specs? and do you think should I change my whole case and add a 360R?
