Ryzen 5600x Overheating

nicholascambre · March 28, 2022

hello all, I've got a Ryzen 5 5600x with a GPU an MSI GTX950, on a MSI B550 board, the PC is watercooled with an MSI MAG watercooler and radiator. There are 4 fans, 2 fans as intakes on the radiator due to a front mounted rad and the two other fans are exhausts. I am having the issue of CPU temps reaching 102 C in bios. Unsure what the problem is or whats causing this issue. RAD RPM is at 2090 and the fans each are puching 1600RPM> All connections seem to be correct, but i cannot seem to find the cause of the overheating. Any suggestions? The GPU was replaced thinking that the CPU was being throttled by the older GPU but the cpu still was overheating, pushing 100C in bios. Computer would then shutdown after approx 10 minutes in bios

The CPU was replaced with an older Ryzen 5 Pro 3400 GE with Radeon Vega Graphics. The CPU temps are steady in bios at 35C.

Inspecting the Ryzen 5 5600x there appears to be no damage, but the thing wont stop overheating, this was a sudden over night type of occurrence and im not sure whats causing it. Any help would be awesome.
