Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Pull up Task Manager and take note of the resources used when you're idling. Make and model of your PSU in the build and it's age? One more thing, you should've been on a 240mm AIO instead of a 120mm AIO, to deal with the heat on that processor.

Seems odd to replace the motherboard before trying a different cooler. Cooling is a simple exercise in thermodynamics; either the cooler isn't mounted properly or the cooler isn't working.
