Just wanted to update this post: It took some time and some digging but I was able to finally remove the Dragon Center software from the PC. There were several MSI files that were buried under my main drive under some strange file names. The complete removal of this software made a difference...

I uninstalled the MSI SK application and it had a surprising affect on the CPU temps. The went from an average of 70 deg C to about 45 deg C. The change was rather quick and unexpected. I am still reviewing all other other suggestions and comments to see what other settings I may need to...

Does uninstalling under control panel do a complete removal or are there additional steps? Sorry for the noobish questions but I have been told conflicting information.

The first time I had this issue I did experience the grinding noise along with the high temps. When I removed he old AIO and opened it up it had a lot of gunk in it. The AIO and fan seem to be running at a much higher RPM than usual with these high temps. I can hear more of a hum...very...

I have not made any changes in the BIOS. I am not knowledgeable enough to know what I am doing in there. Any settings are going to be the factory default. I will take a look at the manual. Is it fair to say that there may be more of an issue with the CPU that is causing the AIO to overwork...

First off...thank you for the responses to my post. There is a lot of information and questions to go through here and I will try my best to answer/provide information. Yes. The AIO is a 240mm with only one fan. This is how the unit was received. With my limited understanding, when I...

Thanks again for your reply and your assistance. Yes. These are pics of my PC. My mistake on the AIO. I misspoke. I learned this last time and obviously didn't retain it well. I meant that I would have liked to have the 2 fans on the radiator. I am sorry for the misinformation. Seems...

Thanks for the reply Phaaze. I am not much of a PC gamer so I will have to do a little research on playing Minecraft without Curse Forge. Unfortunately I have to rely on my teenagers for the gaming stuff. Also, I have considered (and preferred) a 240mm AIO in the past but I feel like there...

Thank you for the response and the link. Are you recommending I ditch the AIO system and install a more traditional CPU cooling fan?

Good Morning All- I have unfortunately been blessed with the same cooling issue I posted in the forums on back in November 2021. https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/cooling-fan-concerns-with-ibuypower-pc.3733158/ Quick history: I have a prebuilt ibuypower PC which developed a cooling...

Sorry Phaaze88 - I was mistaken. The radiator did have the same square located in the same spot. back side of the square had the three pin plug in cable attached to it. I am not sure if this was the issue or not. After removing the old cooling system, I open the plate on the CPU cooler and...

Not that I noticed. Just the fan attached to the radiator and the two tubes to the CPU cooler. Except for the radiator size and tubing size there were no differences between the original and the replacement (I guess the brand as well).

So I haven't seen any other response but I really appreciate all the feedback I received concerning the cooling issue I am experiencing. Just to update the issue: I broke down and replaced the stock AIO cooling unit in the ibuypower PC with a Cooler Master -Master Liquid ML120L V2 RGB. The...

Sorry to keep spamming this post. I did a little more digging and after some testing I have identified where the noise seems to be coming from. When all fans were tested the noise did not change or stop. All fans seemed to be working fine with no noise. With all fans off the rattling noise...

Here is a little more info. It seems now that the temps are staying higher (up near 100 deg C) even when the PC is idle and no programs open. These pics are taken when there was no PC activity (other than background). I am starting to get concerned. As far at the cooling set-up...is this...
