Hi guys,
Having a problem and thinking it may be the cooler going bad.
First off my idle temps are fine in the mid 40s. The load temps with AIDA64 are troubling, it runs around 85 to 88 but I get spikes up to 99 then slowly comes back to 80s and them another sharp spike. The pump is on extreme or full speed and fans set to max.
My pump makes a low whine on quiet settings and it started doing that a few weeks ago, full speed it goes away.
My setup is an x570 Taichi, 3900x with Kryonaut thermal paste. Tried every different way to apply it, spreading it, dotting it and an X and a glop in the middle nothing seems to work.
I know these CPUs run hot but that spike has me a bit worried.
Any info would be helpful.
Thanks.
