Hi,
So i have been having issues with my 8 month old ryzen 5800x and a kraken m22 (120mm) AIO cooler. It's a new pc and my first build.
When i first installed it i checked the cooler posted maximum temps of 85C - 88C (when i ran ryzen master "apply and test" button) and the profile i set to was "Auto OC" in the basic ryzen master control panel. (I dont know much about OC and i was happy with gaming performance).
Fast forward a few weeks and i noticed a few instances of stuttering in warzone. I thought maybe my cpu was running too hot and it's a case of thermal throttling. So i opened up the case dusted the fans and it didn't fix it. So i decided to change my thermal paste.
I did that and no luck so i did it again and again (3 times). So i can say its definetely not an issue of thermal paste gone bad or applied improperly.
So i tested it again with same profile ("Auto OC") idle temps were 45 to 50c so i was happy with that. Under load it went to 91C but remained there with clock frequency of around 4300Mhz to 4500Mhz. My fps in warzone was normal after playing for around 20 mins.
I experimented with manual settings trying to limit voltage but i mostly met with crashes so i reset the profile back to "Auto OC". So i had no choice but live with these temps.
Fast forward two weeks. I noticed after 5 mins of gaming fps drops from mid 100s to 80s 90s. And even more so after that. I checked the ryzen master again while gaming and saw that the clock frequency was 2300MHz to to 2500MHz and the temp was still 90C.
So i restarted my PC and tried the ryzen master test again. This time i set the time for test to 2 mins . Within 2 mins the clock speed goes from 4500Mhz to 3500Mhz and even below. The temps never drop so i guess that is precison boost trying to maintain it's temp by underclocking my cpu.
With cinebench it's even worse where clock speeds drop to around 2500Mhz.
I checked my PUMP speed and its running at around 4300 rpm. I put my handon the radiator portion. It was warm. I don't really know what else i can do to check if it's faulty.
Is this happening because i tried to do manual undervolting. I am pretty sure i reset it back to "auto OC" in the ryzen master. So any other suggestions of how i might have messed it up would be much appreciated.
What should i do. Should i try to report this to NZXT and get the pump replaced or is my cpu faulty?
