So would getting a new CPU fix the lag I'm getting in games? Most are unplayable at this point
Potentionally but you need to narrow down the problem im leaning towards cooling problem.So would getting a new CPU fix the lag I'm getting in games? Most are unplayable at this point

No. Your cooling is most likely not working correctly and that is why the cpu is on fire.
The pump is either not working correctly or the block is not making the correct contact to the heatsink or you have air in the loop.
Options -
1- Take it back to the pc repair shop and explain the issues you are having. Not sure they should have returned it to you but may have been working ok when they tested it. If your AIO cooler has air in the loop then it could cause a blockage during transit. Or if pump is faulty it could work one minute and not the next and those problems explain all your issues.
2 - Remove cpu heatsink , reapply thermal past and reattach.
3 - Buy new cpu cooler and use that
4- Buy beer
Your cpu is most likely working as intended and shutting down/throttling when it reaches its Tmax. It is only reaching the Tmax under light loads or even intensive gaming because it is getting inadequate cooling for one reason or another. Your problem is inadequate cooling and not a faulty cpu
Arctic freezer 34 or freezer 34 esport are good coolers for the money.Okay yeah I'll get a new cooler and some more thermal paste for it and hopefully this will fix it and yes will definitely buy a few beers
BruhHi everyone just wanted to say thanks for the help previously but I’m still in need of assistance haha. I took it back to the repair shop and the guy turned one of the fans around which seems to have partly fixed it, some games now run normally however after say 10-20 mins of play some games just become unplayable again. The CPU is still showing its running at 100 degrees. The repair guy said he put his hand inside the PC and it wasn’t hot anywhere at all so we’re unsure as to whats causing it. I had a look online, could it be that the thermostat is broken causing the CPU to show its at 100 degrees which then causes the CPU to slow down and eventually blue screen?
