So hello guys, I'm here to address to a problem that i am facing!

I just got this PC , all parts brand new

ASUS ROG STRIX B550 - F GAMING WIFI II - MOTHERBOARD
CORSHAIR VENGEANCE - 32GB - 3600 MHZ
CPU: 5950X
COOLER: DEEPCOOL LS720
GPU: RTX 6800
Power Supply: Supremo 750W + 80 GOLD
Case: NZXT H7 ELITE PREMIUM




Now when I play games like Dota 2 or Call of duty DMZ as soon as my cpu temp hits 60C the game starts to stutter, every game doesn't matter what game as soon as it hits the temp 60 thats it the more higher it goes the more it stutters... so what I did the last now its enabled TPU 1, and the cpu went down to 4.0ghz and the temps now when I play games hits 45-50C Max not a single stutter,


I thought it was a ram issue i increased the VSOC to 1.15 put ram down to 3200mhz, used DOCP, tried to overclock manually but nothing related to RAM, now today i noticed I was at temp 58 running fine as soon as it hit 60C that was it.. started to stutter. Now my question is, I still got warranty on CPU, I want to know is this 5950X faulty?

When I run the Benchmark on Cinebench the score its 28K
I did OCCT test all fine nothing coming up
I did Prime95 all fine

but something else happening as well like sometimes not everytime but sometimes my PC just freeze and nothing works not the keyboard not the mouse nothing, this happens rarely like once in four - five days.

I just want to know if the CPU is the problem or the motherboard? The VRM of the motherboard on HWinfo seems all fine it's only the cpu when it hits 60C starts to stutter and laggs!!
 
It seems that you have identified your problem as a heat issue.
Not necessarily the cpu or motherboard.

I imagine your 360 aio is mounted in front.
That will dump your cpu heat into the case, possibly impacting the motherboard components or the graphics card. Is there any chance that your aio is failing?
In time a mechanical pump will fail or get clogged with debris.
Or, has air intruded into the aio through the tubes.

Your case is an excellent one for air cooling.
I might invest $100 in a Noctua NH-D15s and see if it helps.
Noctua maintains a list of suitable coolers for different processors.
Here is the list for the 5950x:
