[SOLVED] HELP! CPU temps too high at 100% load after moving

[allan_1980]

Hi there

I recently moved from my house and I packed down my PC for a month or so.
The PC, i put in the box, my cabin came in when I bought it from new.
So the PC has been with the front up in the air for a month or so, not orientated like it would normally.

In my new place I booted up my PC, and the idle temps on my PC was really high.
I took of my AIO Kraken X62 pump and radiator and gave it a good shake, because I read that after the pump has been standing still for a while there could be bubbles in the tubes.
That made the idle temps go down to 30 degrees, which I guess is okay.

Now when I run Cinebench 15R15 my temps rockets in to the air.
Below is all max temps achieved under 100% load in Cinebench
Core 0: 95
Core 1: 100
Core 2: 88
Core 3: 100
Core 4: 73
Core 5: 84

I have taken off the AIO and put new paste on several times but no changes.

So today, I bought a new AIO, because I thought that it might actually be broken, so I bought the KrakenX63
Only to discover the same temps.

My CPU is delid and have been OC to 4700MHz, with no problems at all - before moving.

Now on BIOS default it goes 3700mhz, but the temps still goes like above and its thermo throttling and 3700MHz goes to 2600MHz.

The AIO goes with full RPM and the same goes for all the fans.

I have eliminated that the cooling should be a problem - or have I?
Is the CPU toasted, and did it toast when I started the PC up after moving, with the high idle temps?

I am really confused and frustrated about it, what has happen since I moved.

I really hope somebody out there has the right answers.

Crazy how many threads I see with things going south specifically after moving a PC to a new residence... either not coming back on, or it strangely behaves worse.

Seeing as how you changed coolers with no luck, I'd say that leaves this:

My CPU is delidded

Something's gone wrong under the IHS. No amount of remounting/replacing coolers will get around it, if it's the source of the problem.

Thanks for answering.
the delid was done back in 2018, and never been a problem

That doesn't mean it wasn't going to become a problem though.
If changing coolers changed nothing[and you made sure fans and pump were running at 100%], and the first cooler was working well before the move... there's not much else it could be.
Dead fan/pump headers?
Coincidentally messed up mounting the pump head for both AIOs?
Using several years old thermal paste?
Then we're back to the TIM under the IHS.

If what you are saying is the truth, does this mean the cpu is damage goods, or could it be fixed at the company who made the delid?

The cpu is not damaged. You'd be experiencing much worse issues if that were the issue.
The TIM application can be fixed.

Thanks for your advices. I’ll try to re-delid it.
Ill update when it’s done 😁
