Hi all!
I was wondering if I can get some advice/help. Recently, my MSI MAG CORELIQUID 240R that I've had for 2 years has been...not working correctly. I am a video editor and I also built my PC. I got a Asus Tuf Gaming x570 with a Ryzen 5900x, 64GB's Corsair Vengeance 3200 RAM, and a Gigabyte RTX 3070.
So anyways, I built this 2 years ago, I take pretty good care of it, clean it every 4-6 months or so so it doesn't get too dusty or dirty. Fan configurations in the traditional Pull-Push from right to left. Not overclocking. I also have the latest release of both Davinci Resolve 17 and Premiere Pro CC (I use both for my work). I haven't had any issue until a few weeks ago when I started noticing that render times were getting slower and slower and the fans were ramping up more and more. Also, when I just press play and watch any clips (any clips, no matter that size or resolution) the CPU would begin throttling. GPU acceleration is also on. I used the Ryzen Master app to check to see what was going on, and the CPU was throttling like a mofo. I tried troubleshooting, even under-volting it to see if that would help, but anytime I went to render something (or even share my screen via zoom), it was throttling. 90c and over every time. The pump and rad seems to be working and in the right slots (again, built this 2 years ago, and it's been running fine). I changed the thermal paste out to see if that helped, unfortunately that didn't do anything (Thermal Paste - Corsair XTM50 replacing Noctua NT-H1).
So, with all that information, does it sound like something is failing in the AIO? Will I need to invest in a new one or is there another troubleshooting method I can attempt to save it? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
