CPU overheating issue on Intel i9 10900k Unlocked and frequency fluctuation.

[raghav04]

My System build is 2 years old and I have started facing the problem of instant temperature raise in seconds from around 37*C upto 75-80*C  while using FL studio DAW. CPU frequency also keeps fluctuating from 800MHz to around 5098 MHz without overclocking. I have tried resetting the bios to default and shuffled between balanced performance and high performance mode, not of much help.  
What could be the reason for these problem I am facing? Is it because water coolant might have evaporated from the AIO? 
Please help me sort it !
Thank you !!

My System configuration :
Intel i9 10th gen 10900k unlocked CPU
Asus TUF Gaming Z590 plus WiFi motherboard
Samsung EVO Plus NVMe 1tb
Samsung 1TB SSD
Toshiba 4tb HHD
GSkill Trident Z Neo 32gb 3600MHz Ram
Lian Li Galahad AIO 240 CPU water cooler
Lian Li ST120 RGB Fans
Cooler Master MWE 750v2 80+ Gold Modular Power Supply
Lian Li 011 dynamic case.
Windows 10 pro os

Why is that even a problem? The chip clocks higher for whatever reason and works just fine

The problem is instant temperature raise in seconds as I load my DAW, temperature goes instantly goes upto 75-80*C.

Which is normal temp for CPU under heavy load.

I have been putting heavier load than this earlier, but never faced the problem till now. Suddenly from past two days the problem occurred. 
I am just afraid that it doesn't cause any damage to my CPU and I am concerned if my AIO water coolant might have dried out.

If you want to be on a safe side you can run cinebench R23 for couple of cycles. If you CPU scores as expected everything is fine. If it significantly below or your system crashes when we can look for a problem more closely. 

 

Also as a synthetic test it is able to keep your cpu at 100% for the whole run , so mhz shouldnt fluctuate too much , and if your AIO is functioning properly your temps should stay within acceptable margin.

Just while using Google Chrome here's the performance statics !!
Thanks for your input, I will try running Cinebench R23 and see how it goes.

Cinebench R23 test run for couple of seconds and temperature went upto 100*C

since it's an AIO, give it a few more minutes.

It's perfectly safe until temp reaches 100C, and even then it's designed to bear it, the CPU will just throttle

Let a full render run , dont cancel it if you see temp spike. Your cpu is capable of downclocking and reducing temps if need be. 

 

Make sure that you choose just a single loop though. What i'm interested in is your CPU can score accordingly.

I think my AIO pump is broken ! Will it be safe to run multi core test for 10 mins? CPU temperature already goes upto 100*C with in a minute.

Your single core score is a bit lower than expected but not dramatically so.

 

Dont run it for 10 minutes, just go for a single loop. 

 

Yes , at this point i suspect that AIO is dead.

 

Your CPU will downclock itself to reduce temps , that is why you peak at 100 and your single core score is a tad too low, cpu is simply downclocking to keep at safe temps.

 

EDIT : just checked that your CPU thermal limit is indeed 100c. So i guess that is 95% chance of a dead AIO Pump. RMA if you can, if you cant i would go for quality air cooler over AIO any day of the week.
