Hi, i think my AIO is dying.
For the past couple of months my cpu has had an idle temp of 80+ °C, which i know isn't normal because it used to be somewhere between 45 and 55°C.
I curently got the msi mag coreliquid 360r with lian li sl 120 fans for cooling my ryzen 7 5800x and i also just read that it's not the best aio.

Complete specs:
ryzen 7 5800x
rtx 3080
gigabyte b450 aorus elite v2
hyperx fury 32gb ram 3600mhz

I was just wondering how can i be sure that it really is the aio and not something else?
I tried changing thermal paste a couple of weeks ago but that didn't help either.

This is one of the largest downsides of AIOs. The majority of them are not user serviceable, either.
You're going to be stuck, unless you try a different cooler.


The MAG Coreliquids also have a bad rep for clogging much earlier than they should.
Users may unknowingly reduce the longevity of the unit by installing the radiator in the roof of their case, but that's if it doesn't clog-up first.

Options are:
-if warranty is still available, use it and get a Coreliquid Version 2.
-just buy a new cooler.

Well seems like i have to get a new cooler since the warranty only lasted until january this year.
Thanks for your answer.
Any recommendations?
