Cpu overheating a lot

[Ferguiny]

I know that this is much later down the line but I am having the same issue. Kinda rebuilt my pc but upgraded most of it in the process. What I find so curious is that the cpu acts the same as the 280mm aio. This is kind of like this situation in this thread https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/new-pc-build-cpu-overheating.268301/

I have repasted the cpu with the aio 7 times and as a reference tried the stock cooler with the same affect, ik the wraith is not great but it doesn’t thermal throttle to that point. I’m talking crashing my pc with cpu temp error and consistently crashing games on an hourly basis. Idle temps like the OP start at 40ish then as you open chrome or just leave it be or update a game the temps will rise to 65C. As soon as a game is opened the temps will rise to 80C and within 20mins of gaming on Warzone at least will crash my pc. My current hypothesis is a faulty cpu (bad cpu die to ihs contact) but I don’t believe that I got that unlucky. Or something to do with the motherboard I’m not sure. Will be testing old cpu in the system today but have been waiting for some thermal paste as I used my entire stock testing.

Another thing, power draw, the power draw of the cpu is extremely low, I have eco mode on in bios/ ryzen master so it can’t go above 45W and at idle pulling 25-30w it is at the temperatures shown above. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And while gaming before I enabled eco mode (which hasn’t helped at all btw) it was at 45-50W but still pushing out 95C. I also have a curve optimiser of currently -20 in bios but have tested it without one, a -30 and a -25 all to the same results.

I should mention that I do live in Australia and it is summer currently and that will affect my ambient temps as I don’t have AC but still shouldn’t be to this degree that it crashes my pc, I’m sure it has some effect bc during the day I can’t really play without it crashing and at night I can but it still goes to 95C either way.

****For those asking about aio and fans and fan configuration yes the aio is plugged into the pump aio header, I can hear the pump and software recognises the pump speed at around 2300ish rpm, the fan configuration is best shown in this vid.

Please don’t mind the Lego gpu brace it works very well.

NR200P Max case in optimal fan configuration with 2 top intake 2 bottom exhaust.

Who told you this was optimal?
Should be the other way around.
Heat rises.

What on god's green earth does that have to do with this thread?

 

[maxfly]

What are your ambient temps while testing, gaming etc. and what speed do you have your fans running at?

 

[Shrek]

You are right, it is 95°C for the 5600X

 

[DeathtoGnomes]

pics of everything will help.

is the AIO plugged into the correct motherboard headers? what header are the fans plugged into?

No this is the optimal case flow according to Machines and More.

Ambient temps are from high 20sC to low 30s, but even at night when the ambient temps are around 15 the cpu temps are no different.

Sure will add them into the post, and yes they are all plugged into the right headers.

Do the ones above help I do t want to take out gpu as it’s a hassle, will be doing later but yeah. The chassis fan header is used but the Lianli hub with only a pwm cable on it.

OK

Every computer tech forum is wrong then.
FWIW,
Intake = front, side, bottom.
Exhaust = rear, top.

I'm off to see machines and more, should be funny since they're grasp of physics is different from the rest of the world, heat rises.
Sounds like Aio death to me or fur in the machine or bad CPU mount / Tim.

Ah right, to be fair it's a different case with no front panel in take, and with a glass panel, but I still disagree with his results and question his testing.
Not as clear cut as I thought but heat does still rise.

IDK what the best airflow for this case is, but the buoyancy of heat is overwhelmed by the pressure of fans. Heat might rise naturally but once you introduce pressure in an enclosure you can basically throw convection out the window.

There’s a risk of recirculating air outside of the chassis (intake hot air from the top that has convected from the bottom exhaust), though, that’s worth considering.

it is fair enough what is being said with a traditional case, but with a sff case like this i dont have a clue. Also surely if i am intaking on bottom and exhausting out the top like suggested the gpu heat is going to add to heat already in radiator. I have lifted the case up so it is sitting over 15cm from nearest surface and temps are still high. I have now tested it with my old cpu and same temps occur on that when i know it previously was happy at 65c under air cooling from the esports duo. So that would probably mean faulty cooler or mobo sending it too much juice some how.

yeah it is true but i have an overhead fan in spinning at all times the air above and mostly around the case is reasonably cool. just wondering what to do now

i completely agree but I dont see any other option that makes sense. The bottom intake top exhaust would make the cpu hotter as the air has to go over the gpu before it gets too the rad. im just completely stumped now, unfortunately with this scenario i think i would have to send back my whole computer as the aio came bundled inside the pc and didnt come in a seperate box for an rma.

What a terrible case design that is, FFS are people getting more stupid or what? honestly, for the sake of saving some space that is counter productive 101 with all those components shoved in there. That's the kind of case you use if one likes cool ambient temps, no other way to put it. I'm talking like mid teens C here.
In a place like Australia, you would want a big case unless you don't mind spending extra $ on AC whilst operating your gaming or benching rig. Everyone knows this country is one of the hottest places on earth.
So, to wrap up imo, get a bigger case & plonk everything in there. Should solve the problem.

IMO -- I still prefer the way this guy built his NR200P

Radiator at the top and proper fans at the bottom.

It needs a mesh side panel for the vertical GPU to be more efficiently cooled.

It comes with both steel/mesh and glass
