I had my PC built last April 2024, everything was working perfectly till last Dec 31, 2024. All of a sudden my CPU started to overheat, the CPU temp was going all the way up to 106 cº when I would just open Discord or a Google tab, and if I’m not doing anything the temp is constantly at 70 - 85.
A few times my PC would already shut itself down due to overheating, but the AIO Cooler lights would remain on, does this mean that the motherboard is recognizing a problem with the Cooler? I’m worried that the motherboard CPU fan connector might be the problem, is there a way to tell whether it’s the AIO cooler itself or the motherboard?
I lifted up the cooler to check the thermal paste and it doesn’t even look that dry—and as you can see the CPU Fan RPM is at 0 for some reason.
Kindly let me know your thoughts.
Here are my PC specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600
GPU: Gigabyte RTX 4060 TI Eagle
MOBO: Gigabyte B650M Gaming X AX
AIO COOLER: Cooler Master Core ML240L ARGB
