Question Ryzen 5 5600X Overheating

[Tired86]

So I recently upgraded my Ryzen 5 3500 to Ryzen 5 5600X and my temperature skyrocketed. The Ryzen 5600X was idle at 56 - 60 degrees, on startup it went to 7x. I don't know if it's the CPU problem or the cooler. I'm not overclocking or doing anything heavy load, just regular gaming. Can anyone help me out


Here is my spec:

Cpu: Ryzen 5 5600X
Ram: Gigabyte AORUS RGB 16GB
Cooler: ID-Cooling Frostflow 280
Case: Lian Li O11
Fan: ID-Cooling ZF-14025-ARGB
PSU: GIGABYTE GP- P750GM 750W (80 PLUS GOLD) (1 year old)
Drive: SSD Samsung 980 250GB (63 GB free)

OS : Win 11 22H2

More information needed.

OS?

PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

I just updated with your request

Isn't that the infamous exploding PSU from Gigabyte?

I also have a 5600X but with a Thermalright Assassin X120 Refined SE tower air cooler. If you're getting worse temperatures than me with an AIO, something ain't right... My temps were pushing past 90 at full load on the stock cooler, but when I replaced that with the Thermalright tower cooler, they hovered around 60 at full load.

There could be a number of issues causing this, like thermal paste missing or too little of it, the heatsink not making proper contact with the processor, the cooler itself malfunctioning in some way (most likely, IMO), or maybe even accidentally switching your temp readout to Fahrenheit instead of Celsius! =P

I would double check mounting of the block as mention above. Would check to make sure you don't have the hoses in such a way that an air bubble could get trapped in the block. Would check the header for the pump to make sure you have it running at least 80%+ and not accidentally on a header you have on 'silent mode' (etc.)

When you did this update, did you default CMOS, uninstall/reinstall and then update your chipset driver, then go back into BIOS and set your XMP (and so on) back where you want?
