I5 8600k overheating on boot

[r.miller1353]

Ok so this bizarre and very frustrating. Let me start off by going over the relevant parts of the build
S340 elite case
I5 8600k
Aorus gaming 5 Mobo
EVGA Clc 280.

Today I was removing the tempered glass side panel from the case and it just exploded. Glass went everywhere. It just blew up for no reason. Glass went in my case and I picked it out and had to vacuum it out a bit as it had glass all in out. It was powered off when I cleaned it out.

After it was all cleaned it out I turn it on and it immediately spikes to 100C and shuts itself off. I boot it back up and get to bios where it stays at 89-90 C until I boot to windows and it spikes back to 100 and shuts off. The rad fans are going full speed and the EVGA software indicates the pump is as well. The clc 280 is less than two months old as well so I doubt it’s failed already. Could the glass have shorted something out somehow? I’ve ran the case without the side panel before and never had an issue. I hope the cpu is not damaged.

Glass is an electrical insulator so no it didn't short anything out. I would verify that the pump is indeed working by grabbing the lined and feeling for the vibration of water flow.

- If case is new, I would contact NZXT for possible for replacement.

- Vacuuming inside a PC is inadvisable as it creates very larges amounts of static electricity. Hardware damage is possible if you have the vacuum near a place like the motherboard. Special anti-static vacuums are good for this.

I would uninstall the cooler and the CPU and check them for any bits of glass. Clean the water block and CPU cap with isoprobyl alchohol if you have it and a lint free cloth like a coffee filter. I would also take out the motherboard and give it a shake upside-down to make sure no shards are on it. Reinstall the motherboard then CPU and redo the thermal paste and mount the cooler again. If that doesn't help, I would try another CPU cooler. Generally the only thing that causes your kind of overheating is a cooler issue. There is no way having no side panel would cause temps that high.

Hmmm, my two cent guess is that you accidentally pulled out the power cord connecting the pump to the motherboard during your vacuum cleaning - which by the way is a really bad idea as it does generate a lot of static electricity. Check to see if the pump's power cable (3-pin or 4-pin) is still plugged into the motherboard fan header.

So I let the PC sit for a few hours while I went to work and booted it back up and the PC started up and ran fine and is running normal 30C on the CPU. I am baffled. I'm betting it's EVGA's terrible software to blame, the only time I've had heat issues before is when flow control crashed and when it did my temps immediately shot up. I'm probably going to get rid of this cooler.

One of the lines from the pump to the res is vibrating and evga flow control says the pump is staying at a steady 3000-ish rpm, but before the pump would be at Max speed and the fans would too yet it would continue to overheat.

I have the CLC 280 as well, and have troubles with it too. I also am confused with the temps it's giving me so I posted a thread as well. Just starting to think if I should've gone for the H115i instead. Also pretty sure Corsair will cover all parts damaged by a leak whereas EVGA's process takes much much longer. I hope my TG doesn't explode. My PC is 8600K, Aorus Gaming 5, CLC 280, P400S.

Did you remove the pump assembly from the CPU to verify that there was ample thermal paste making contact with both the heatsink and the CPU heatspreader?
