Question 1700x running hot out of nowhere, until I shake it?

[masonryan11]

So I recently Installed a new mobo and everything was running fine until one day It was randomly running hot (almost 70c at idle). So I tried re applying thermal paste, moving fans but everytime I changed something it would run fine for a while (1 day to sometimes a couple hours) and then begin running hot again. Then after opening the pc up to check the tension on the cpu cooler screws I figured out that just moving the pc around and tightening the cooler screws would cause it to run normally for a couple hours. Not sure what my issue could be besides a bad AIO, mines pretty old. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you sure that pump is mounted correctly and with enough tension ? It sure sounds like its loose.

yes, Ive, re mounted it atleast 4 times trying to make sure everything was tight. last night I was tilting my computer to the side and I heard a bunch of bubbles move around in the cooler, then my computer ran cool until this morning

What's the make and model of the pump that you're using? I'd check with the manufacturer for an RMA.
