I've got a 7900x3D (no OC) which has been running absolutely fine for the last 18 months. It used to idle around 40 when I first built the system but haven't checked it for months as never had any issues. Until today.
Was playing a game this morning, then after about 90 mins I went to make a brew and when I got back the pc had shut down. SO fired it back up and cracked on with gaming. 2 hours later it shut down again while I was playing. Just instantly lost power. Thought it might be the PSU but thought I'd run HWinfo just to check temps and my cpu was idling around 75! SO played some more games and kept an eye on the temps and it was constantly around 85 before it finally shut off again after around an hour. Decided to run cinebench and watch the temps and it lasted all of 10 minutes before it shut down.
I have an 360mm AIO cooler. Pump seems to be working (shows about 2400rpm in BIOS) and one pipe feels hot, the other cold which I believe is how its supposed to be. So I decided to get some thermal paste and reseat it. Still the same. After being turned off for a couple of hours it was idling at 70 in BIOS.
So now I'm wondering what to do. Could try another repaste to see if it makes any difference but if it doesn't then I guess I'm looking at another cooler. Could there be an issue with the AIO even though it seems to be functioning correctly ?
I doubt (hope) its not the cpu becoming faulty so I'm leaning towards the cooler. Any thoughts/help appreciated!
Thanks
