Another tip for checking if your AIO pump is dead is that you put a load on your CPU then feel the temperature of both tubes an you should notice that one tube is hotter than the other which means the pump is in working order as the fluid is circulating the unit correctly. However If you feel that both tubes are getting equally as hot then there may be a pump problem. Thats what Ive used to determine dead AIOs in the past anyway.

One other thing, if it's an older system overheating and you're using a CPU fan, check the grills for dust and dirt. If there is too much dust inside of the fan grills, none of the air from the fan will make it down to actually cool the CPU.

[@the_devils_advocate]

I'm surprised you didn't talk about the fourth most common way CPUs can overheat: Because the user's a filthy animal who never cleans their PC. I ran into that problem about a month ago. I kept getting dangerously close to shutdown from overheating (i.e. breaking about 208F under load, but around 128F when idle) so I powered down to have a look. I had a handy tool to hook up 3/4-pin headers to a molex connector and from there to a power brick with a switch so I could test each fan individually without unmounting to verify it worked. Since obviously they were all working I decided that before I'd go tearing into the CPU I should perhaps look at the CPU fan and... that's when I saw it. A solid mat of dust completing covering the cooler just below my CPU fan. I hadn't cleaned it once since I built this case about 4 years ago. It took me a good half an hour of going at that with a vacuum, cotton swabs, canned air, and even paper towels to clean it out. I finished cleaning all the other fans and reassembled. It worked. I now average around 88F idle and maybe 116F under load. Lesson learned: dust is an EXCELLENT thermal insulator.

Just keep scanning your temps regularly, once a week, or once a month. If they allways ramp up you got an issue. I have my first AIO on my GPU, and this is very stressfull to wait when it goes boom. My plan is to upgrade the pump once a year maybe, still cheaper than replacing the actual GPU.

Atleast for the CPU fan you can do a trick Greg usually uses, route the cable underneath the cooler, it hides the wire for a large portion of the length.

[@brando3342]

@@llamacannon1714 Yes, that’s a good idea. I have a hyper 212 so I just left the cord bundled with the twist tie, then I jammed it into the empty space in the side of the fan.

Thanks for the advice 👌

I would like to add something to checking fluid flow on an AIO. Grab the pipes one at a time. When I grabbed them both, I couldn't tell if I was feeling fluid motion, or just the general vibrations from my six case fans and the three on my GPU.

Put the needed amount out, and spread it evenly over the cpu, then you know it's not going to have gaps or make a mess you'll be dealing with the next time you replace it (which you should once or twice a year). Spend the minute to do it right and then you'll know it's correct.

[@angelocatana7604]

So today all of a sudden, my pc turned off and I didn't know what happened, but after I turned it back on and checked NZXT software I noticed that my CPU temp was about 95C. Until today everything was normal and no overheating ever happened. I have a R5 3600 and a NZXT AIO cooler. First thing I tried was removing the cooler, reapplying new fresh paste, giving the pc a proper clean (I always keep it clean anyway) and putting the AIO back on, but this didn't fix the issue. I've applied thermal paste and mounted coolers dozens of times so I know I can do it properly, also mounted multiple NZXT AIO coolers in the past years. The weird thing that is happening to me is that the PC is running at about 40C in bios and as soon as I turn windows on it jumps to about 90C in seconds. It could be the AIO but I can feel the liquid running through the tubes and the fan is working, so I can't see how it could actually be it. I can't keep my PC on more than about 1 min because of the safety shut down, but I won't even try it again to avoid permanent damage. So bios temp alright, but in 5-10 seconds it bursts from 40C to almost 100C (when loading windows), thermal paste applied properly, AIO mounted correctly, fan working, liquid flowing. What could it be? Also I run the same setup for more than an year now, and no progressive overheating happened. A few hours ago I could play 3 games at once, the next time I turn on the PC, it would only stay on for a few minutes at most. Can it still be the pump even if I can feel the liquid? What else could it be? Every other metrics looks perfect, Vcore voltage is good, every other hardware works within the parameters, all chassis fans are working... No ideas left...

[@techluvin7691]

Great vid as always Greg. “Fix or Flop” reminds me of Leo Laporte and “The Screensavers” from a very long time ago. You’ve got a “winner” with that segment. The move to RGB has led to manufacturers cheaping out on fan quality and prioritizing bling. I have some older non-rgb fans from yesteryear and they are outstanding in quality and performance compared to today’s mostly garbage fans. Not saying all fans are garbage today……….but if you got a great price…………more than likely poor quality. You’re better off buying higher priced fans. Sure……I like AIO’s also………but there needs to be a way to know the pump is gone. Also, the fluid tends to get “scummy” over time………..similar to that film that forms on stagnant water. That will also cause overheating issues. You should also push air through a rad rather then trying to pull air through the rad. In relation to PSU’s……….please……..please don’t use cables from another power supply. The pinouts are not always the same between PSU’s.

I need advice to solve my problem. Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 i5-7500 cpu @3.4ghz 16 ram 1920x1080, 1.44hz

[@TiberiusMaximus]

my computer is freezing up with noise and no mouse activity, I have to do hard restart to get it to work. Its was at the shop for 3 days and he couldn't fix it. I'm pissed cuz I built the rig a year ago using some decent high end parts now I can barely use it and I have to look for someone else. I've been doing driver updates windows updates, taking apart the hardware cleaning everything and nothing

[@TiberiusMaximus]

It was the cooling system, the pump failed and the display was saying 27 degrees so I thought everything was fine. Don't go by the pump display temp go by the BIOS temp and everything will be fine. The guy at the shop couldn't figure it out but guess what? after watching vids and reading you can troubleshoot your own rig too.

Weird thing my PC when running benchmarks and comparing with over 5k other people for the components I have. Scored above average… nothing wrong. But 1 time I was preloading game shaders for world war z and my PC shutoff. But it was after updating AMD GPU drivers lol. Never happened again. Maybe just bug with the new update. I’ve heard the last day AMD driver updates are having issues.

Hai Greg Bro, I have Built 3700X with NH D15 Cromax.black, Aida64 Stress Test 82°C to 89°C For Straight 3 Hours Run, Is that Normal Temperature or Very High..? The 3700X T. junction is 95°C Pls Tell Me Sir 🙏🙏🙏

[@Tomzclipz22]

when i load any game my cpu gets to 96 DEGREES! and calm downs to 80 after. I use a Silverstone pf240 cooler that maybe failing after only 7 months and my PC is on 1/4 of the time, I have 6 fans in my PC case so this shouldn't be happening but in the past few weeks my CPU reaches 50 degrees on idle which isn't really good.

[@RoscoeDaMule]

yeah tHANKS FOR THIS, ME PC STILL Overheating but my corsair headset software monitors fans and my pump. i can see it running and followed ur video so ik my cooler isnt the problem. tahnks for that 'clear' look about the thermal paste. gonna try the 'x' now bc of that

[@supremememes5384]

Someone help me im getting stutters in game like rocket league and minecraft. Weird thing is that I can get very high frames but for some reason in almost all games I play it dips to 47-55 fps and starts to stutter. Even with v-sync turned on still has the same problem. All drivers up to date but I had the same problem with my old gpu. When i swapped my gpu same problem. I see one core is pegged at 100% which may be the cause I JUST NEED HELP.

[@johnveeskys]

My CPU is running between 80-90 when playing warzone. Just started and it’s a 3 month old PC. I’m hoping it’s just dust because I’m not looking forward to trying to reapply thermal paste. I don’t build computers 😂

[@martinrezzy]

my CPU fan was going crazy these days...no matter if i was brousing the net or play games.the fans was always in max rpm..32000rpm...the sound of 32k-rpm is similar to a propeller aircraft taking off haha..last night i decided to remove the radiator to see how the termal paste is...well there was enough paste,but not where its supposed to be...there was hardly any of it on the cpu...all was around it...i have never seen something like that...HOW its gone there idk..interesting.

[@wolf-x-51]

I have an i59400f, and Intel stock cooler temps reach 95 to 100 c under stress, but when I disable Turbo Boost, they reach 65 to 70 c max. So if I get a new cooler, will that solve this problem or not? because I don't want to disable Trubo Booste.

[@amberclad3412]

My 2080 ti FE used to have overheating problems until i undervolted it and not i only get up to 75 c full load. EXCEPT with Resident Evil 7. For some reason it causes my graphics card to ramp up to 88c on the menu and during gameplay

[@readycheddar]

20 years ago I bought an athlon xp 1400 and improperly mounted the hsf. This is way before we had tjmax or any thermal detection at all and I turned it on just to see the magic smoke coming out from under the heatsink. So…I bought another one and then tried to mount the hsf…backwards. This was when they stopped putting heatspreaders on the chips for better cooling and I…crushed the edges of the die. Ever since then I’ve been extremely careful with heat sinks. Just pay attention because things can be screwy without realizing it very easily.

[@limestedgaming5502]

Right guys I need your help ASAP if anyone can get back to me as soon as possible it would be a really helpful I've done nothing to my computer apart from upgrading the power supply before upgrading the power supply everything was running cool I do have an AiO and it was all fine after installing a new power supply the CPU is now running at maximum temperature of 100 degrees soon as I saw this I turned it off but it is fine when it's idling at 34 degrees

[@OfficialiGamer]

we need to get more people to subscribe, I'm not superstitious, but that 666K subs are a little unnerving... lol

[@scrd.mp3]

I've personally been stuck on the reason why my PC is running at 70-80 degree's 'idle'. It will run cs for a bit but I exit it will just shut down completely. I've tried almost every method that I have found. Still not fixed...

[@shazani18]

To this day I don't know what happened to my AIO, one day I took the PC to have a new SSD disk installed and when I brought it back it had overheating problems, I watched several videos about water cooling, and when I put my hand To feel the cables I felt the vibration, but even so the CPU overheated more and more, in the end I ended up changing to a fan, but I will never know if that AIO had its day or if the technician who installed the SSD messed up something.

Please take my computer and fix it. My 4 yr old HP OMEN X’s cpu cooler is screaming playing games my cpu should be able to hand. idk what to do without spending close to a thousand dollars ripping apart my pc and replacing parts or just buying a new pc.

[@ASpaceOstrich]

So uh... what *else* can cause cpu overheating, because we've got a weird overheating issue right now and its not any of the usual suspects. Its not the thermal paste, fans are all working, pump is working. Airflow is good. Its not faulty temperature sensors on the motherboard because thats been replaced. Its not a faulty CPU because thats been replaced.

Great content as always Greg, keep 'em coming

[@Vuxiny]

I have a red light on my motherboard for my cpu, everything seems to run fine its just slightly overheating

[@evanlam963]

Quick question, I have the NZXT. The radiator is mounted on top, do I direct the fan to blow air into the radiator (pointing up) or blowing air away from it (pointing down)? Thanks
