Yesterday I was playing a game and my computer randomly shut off, I turn it back on and I saw a CPU overheat warning. This kind of scared me and I started to question my aio if it has died (corsair h80i). I start monitoring my CPU temps and turns out, my idling is really weird, I often idle between 40-60 degrees, and spikes of 10 degrees happen quite often, a few times a minute. I have openhardwaremonitor and my max while idling spiked up to 71c.

This happened out of nowhere, and was completely fine for years before, only happened once before but that was when I tried to render a video without gpu acceleration. Anyways, I decided to swap out my AIO cooler thinking as it was dead with the original ryzen wraith cooler, and put new thermal paste on it, and the results have not changed. I still get very high temperatures while idling and gaming, and when gaming earlier today I saw a high spike of 96.3c, which is crazy.

So to date I have completely cleand my case & replaced thermal paste with old aio, no change, then changed cooler back to wraith and again replaced thermal paste, no change.

Is this normal? What could possibly be happening, this is completely out of nowhere.

Ive also attached openhardwaremonitor log which i ran for 30 mins if anyone wants to filter through that and check out my temperatures, this log is purely while idling and afk.

My specs are:

Ryzen 7 3700x
32GB ddr4 3600mhz
B550m mortar
few fans there

Help would be appreciated, thanks.

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

Does the radiator dissipate heat or is the tube and the cooling block/pump block the only things that are hot to the touch?
