Hello there, lately ive been getting some overheating with my 7800X3D cooled by a FrostFlow 240 Series RGB High Performance Liquid Cooler (AMD)
Temps have been fine since i got the PC about 18 months ago but the last few weeks randomly the CPU temps hit 85-92C and stay there.
Normally before this issue for example on a map load or shader compiling it would hit 80 maybe 85 for a few seconds then i can hear the AIO fans kick in and temps go back to normal and never an issue.
I temporarily fixed it by giving the AIO cables a wiggle about as if there was a bubble or something and this fixes it for a number of days and temps cool way down only for it to happen again and again.
Its very annoying if i dont get to open case and wiggle the cables then it has lead to a crash on a few occasions.
But once i do give the cables a move everything is fine again for days.
Im convinced the AIO is acting up, i can se the pump is running all the time via monitoring software so its not the pump, there has to be something blocking , be it a bubble or whatever.
Since this is the first AIO ive used having always gone with air previously.
Is there anything i can do or do i just need to bin the AIO and get a good air cooler, anything good enough to cool a 7800X3D?

Thanks for reading.
 
Yeah i can hear water motion when gaming [its always been pretty silent though] and when temps are fine when they are not all i hear is fan noise.
 
Thanks again, ive done that there now while ingame of monster hunter wilds, temps have been fine since i gave tubes wobble yesterday when they got high so i guess its a wait and see scenario now.
