Question High temp on my watercooling

[Industryy]

Hello since last night I got high temp on my CPU on idle mode, i've tried to clean the dust but nothing work.
I've saw that at the begining the temps are fine but highly increase in few minutes, so i've ordered thermal paste to see if it comes from that.
Just waiting now, in hope that his not my watercooling who are broken cause i got it since one year.

Can you help me out ? Any solutions ? Thanks.

system specs and tempratures? what were the idle and loaded temps before, and after when you consider them to be hot?

Idk? if it suddenly got hotter than it was before, last night, it's very very unlikely to be the thermal paste being old, thermal paste takes years to slowly degrade, you might notice a temp increase by 5 degrees over several years. Same with dust buildup, unless you filled it with sawdust running a PC in a workshop or something (this has happened to me).

A sudden increase in temps would usually be because a pump failed or something, is it an AIO, if so it might still be in warranty

three front fans 120/140mm intakes is all you ever need.
the rear 120mm exhaust fan is good to direct airflow over your motherboard and graphics card.

Maybe feel the tubes on the AIO and see if one feels hotter than the other. When it working properly there should be a difference even though many times it is just barely noticable. If they feel the same then you start to suspect a bad pump.

It really doesn't matter you can't fix a AIO anyway but most have more than 1yr warantee. Still a huge pain to get a RMA.

If you have to replace it there are many air coolers in the $50 range that do as well as most 240 aio.

For my system spec here :

Msi b450 tomahawk max
Ryzen 5 3600x
1080ti
Corsair rgb 32go 3600mhz
Be quiet gold modulaire 650watts

About the idle state it start stable at launch and even without doing nothing it increase slowly about ten minutes around 80c idle.
And my windows slowy start lagging and have to restart my pc.

I've not changed my thermal paste since 4 years know, maybe is it the problem ?
Anyway gonna receive some thermal taste tomorrow and gonna be fixed if its really the AIO.

I would think the AIO is failing, thermal past will last a long time.
I've never had to change any and have used some of my processors for like 10 years.

With the way windows works today I can't say their a true idle state anymore.

I think so too, gonna try anyway and change it if needed.

"True" idle is 1% or less of CPU usage with one or 1 and half cores running with rest in sleep mode You can check it in Safe mode or "Clean start" mode where most drivers and startup APPs are not running.
There is no "if needed" change of paste, only way you can see that is to remove cooler and that means you have to change paste.

I've buy a new watercooling and it seems to be fixed thanks guy
