Question CPU temps are high only after waking up from sleep ?

Hello,

I recently upgraded the overall cooling of my rig after getting a 4080 and running out of room with my old case due to the size of the graphics card. I upgraded my case to the Lian Li Lancool 216 with the Lian Li Galahad II Trinity AIO after having a case with <Mod Edit> airflow and an air cooler. My temps have been amazing after upgrading. My idle temps are ~30c for both CPU and GPU with the better case airflow and AIO for the CPU. My gaming temps are ~60c on demanding games like cyberpunk 2.0 on max settings.

HOWEVER, this is where things get weird. I typically put my computer to sleep when I do not use it, like many others. When I wake my computer up, my case/aio fans go on full blast and my CPU temps read exactly 100c. I've tested this numerous times now and the incident is isolated to ONLY post-sleep. Not if I restart my computer, shut down, etc. Also, the temp WILL NOT drop after fans are on full blast, and I have to restart the computer. I have also done a CPU stress test via Prime95 on full blast highest settings for over an hour and temps never got above 80c at 100% load with 100% threads.

I have also tested doing a full fresh boot. Seeing temps at 30c. Putting computer to sleep. Waiting until all the rbg lights and fans stop (~10-20seconds or whatever). Then, starting the computer back up and having the 100c+ problem again. Makes me think something is weird with the temp reader post wake-up.

Does anyone have any suspicion on what this could be? I looked at event viewer and do see a Kernel-Power (41) error, which would be related to the CPU overheating I suppose. As well as Kernel-Power event for "ACPI thermal zone \_TZ.TZ00 has been enumerated." prior.

Does anyone have any clue of what could be causing this or a fix? It can be completely avoided if I just shut down the comp every night.

Hardware
CPU - i9- 10850k (non-overclocked)
Ram - 4x8 3200mhz corsair vengeance rbg pro (XMP enabled)
Motherboard - MSI gaming z490 gaming edge wifi atx lga1200
GPU - Gigabyte 4080 (non-overclocked)
PSU - evga supernova gold 1000w
Case - Lian Li Lancool 216
AIO - Lian Li Galahad II Trinity -- all case and aio fans on PWM based on cpu temp

Thanks in advance

Could it be your pump does not come on when it wakes? Your fans run yes but if the pump is not moving the water/fluid around the temps will stay high.

That ended up being the issue, thanks! Went too far down the task/event history rabbit hole thinking a process was hogging CPU and hanging to even check the pump stuff as it was working under load under normal circumstances.

Could have been a number of things, but one of these things from the list worked:

Updated BIOS as the Lian Li (L-Connect 3) software was freezing . Thought maybe the newer AIO would have issues too if the BIOS was too old
Changed in BIOS the pumpfan was changed from PWM to DC. -- probably my bad here thinking it was more for the AIO fans than the pump itself.
Ensured PumpProfile in L-Connect 3 was set to fixedRPM (have at default 2688).

Glad you found the problem Sure do miss the days of just turning on your pc and enjoying it.
