so my 7600x is running like ****

[kute]

I first noticed big temperature problems like 3 weeks ago. I took it out and repasted it, and it seemed... better? But it's still throttling. I think in the ****** CPU-Z benchmark, I used to get 760/6200 or something, but now it's 700-730 and 5700 thanks to instant 95 temps in hwinfo, and that's with it now being undervolted as I try to figure out what the hell is going on. It's being cooled by a lianli 360 aio that's trying its hardest. I don't feel crazy heat anywhere, for what it's worth. I just don't understand this. It's pretty frustrating.

It used to top out at 70c while essentially never leaving 5450 MHZ. Now the second it tries to boost it hits 95 degrees and it idles at 65-70 with an undervolt.

Is it a LianLi Galahad 360?

If so could be worth checking if it's part of the recall

Regarding issues with our Galahad AIO affecting CPU-temperatures - LIAN LI is a Leading Provider of PC Cases | Computer Cases

There have been concerns over a drop in heat dissipation performance for earlier Galahad AIO units after usage of 1-2 years. We were made aware of this issue in 2022 Q1 when we retrieved defective units from users. We sent these units back to our supplier for verification, and confirmed that...

Oh wow. Yea it is a Galahad, and I bought it like a year and change ago. Damn. Unbelievable random issue on this 300 dollar product =\

Thank you. I was not expecting such an obvious and decisive conclusion, wow.

I can't believe in 2023 there's anybody complaining about AIOs. I'm the guy who just lost his shirt putting their faith in Lianli's first AIO attempt, and I'm still not going to say anything bad about AIOs. I had to be bitten by a defective computer part at some point in my life. A 200 buck water cooler isn't too bad, considering all the people who had trouble with 1500 dollar gpu's last year

I said **** it and got a 7800x3D and a 240 rog ryu jin II or whatever, the thing with the giant screen. I'm sure it's a terrible AIO but I wanted a big cool screen

Does the CPU matter for how high I can OC my ram? My generic hynix kit is 5600/36 but ran at 6k/30 with the 7600x. Does the CPU change even matter?

Hmmm, I'm a little underwhelmed by this thing. It sits at 5050 @ 60 degrees all day which is nice, but it still can't seem to max out my 4080 in ACC, AC, or AMS2 VR.
