Question CPU overheating randomly

I have a ryzen 5800x and for the past few months it will overheat randomly on startup. I have tried reapplying thermal paste and undervolting the cpu. One day it will overheat to 113 c and after some trial and error will finally stabilize and be good for another few weeks until it happens again. I have the arctic liquid freezer II 240 AIO and the settings in the bios are set to PWM and full speed.
