My PC just turned a year old and all of a sudden trying to launch COD Vanguard for the first time my PC shut off and while restarting I got the "CPU overheating alert please ensure the CPU cooler is firmly attached to CPU and is able to provide sufficient thermal dissipation" So like a dummy I had to give it a few more tries before taking any action. About the 4th time it worked and I played all night without even monitoring my temps... RIP. Anyway I haven't had any issues for a week or more but haven't done much gaming, until today. Trying to load into New World(which I've put 150+ hours on with no issues) It shut off and gave me the same warning.
I am not a PC guy. I built this off of YouTube and one of my friends giving me advice. One concern is my AIO. I have it mounted the only way I can in my case, with the hoses at the top. However my buddy told me it doesn't matter with my AIO because the pump is built into the radiator about 2-3" from the top. Sitting here writing this my CPU Core temp is 68c with a Socket temp of 51c. As soon as I fire up a game it shoots up into the 90's and sometimes 100+ which turns off my computer.
What I've tried: I updated my bios which was released 09/27/21. Reapplied thermal paste, I used Arctic MX-4 Thermal Compound and made sure it was firmly attached. Gave it a pretty good spray down with some air (Not much dust came out. That's one thing I do often) And tried one last time to get the radiator turned upside down and it's a no go. Tubes are too short. One thing is for sure, one tube is warm and the other is cool so I'm pretty sure its working.
I can send pictures of my rig or screenshots of hardware monitoring stuff if you would like.
Build:
Case - Phantek Eclipse P400 (without the front cover over the radiator fans)
MB - MSI B550 Tomahawk
CPU - Ryzen 9 3950x
CPU Cooler - MSI Coreliquid 360R
Power - ToughPower GF1 850W
