The most helpful vide I’ve watched after watching like 50 vids on why my cpu is overheating.

Informative video Danny 🤯🥳. Despite being a personal pc builder for over 20 years … you gave free advice here and the tube heat variance in an AIO was something I didn’t know about when an AIO was failing 😇👍. As an AIO user and custom water cooler (since Athlon XP CPUs) I’ve always made sure I’ve had at least 1 compatible HSF cooler (I keep 2 due to multiple rigs 😋) on hand for AIO emergencies 😇👍💪. With the low costs ($15-30) associated with buying a Snowman / Deep Cool etc cooler, it’s a wise investment to buy one and keep in the drawer to eliminate down time, especially for work related PCs 😇🥳

I have an aio that when is on normal rpm (800) is overheating when i open the computer (starts 72-96⁰C). When is on full speed fans (1800) rpm is ok 30-35⁰C and gaming 45⁰C. What's the problem??

Jus bought my pc a year ago maybe 3 months of heavy usage and after feeling the tubes one is insanely hot one is room temp this is the exact aio in my pc I have this exact problem pc used to play good now has high spikes and gets so slow I have to turn it off

The on-screen monitoring program is not MSI Afterburner. It's called RivaTuner.

My aio is failing
I'm getting 46c on idle and will randomly hit 58c and will drop again. I did a stress test on the cpu and the max temps is 90c but won't go over that.

[mikeh]

my aio build was working perfectly fine for a long time. after recently moving to another state my cpu is overheating and pushing 100c at idle. i checked fittings and nothing is loose, and the pump fan is spinning. anyone have any ideas?

[jessycardinal]

Im wondering if my aio is failing. Idle at 32-36, while gaming at once human the temps go from 60 to 70 to 80 and even to I changed my motherboard recently and maybe by reinstalling my aio I did something wrong.

I am running unigen heaven right now
My cpus ideal temp is around 40-45

But on unigen heaven running its like same 45-46

Is my aio cooler still alive and working?

Hi I’m running a ryzen 9 5950x and a 3070 with an AIO cooler. I have noticed that my pc starts lagging. Not too badly no blue screens but the frames drop whilst playing RISK. Just like you mentioned I tried monitoring, and exited the game only to see that even with no stress sitting at the desktop I had 59 C and even tho I tried pumping up the fans it still stayed there. Is my cooler dead ?

[TopNotchAviation]

Can anybody help me? I have a ryzen 7 7800x3d and it idles at 47+ I have 10 fans, and a Corsair h150i 360mm aio. I have never seen the cpu above 85 during cinebench. Anybody know how to help?

[placiers]

After hearing the Problem with the NZXT H1 Case which i also have make me worrie so much.. my GPU also goes to like 96° and i dont really have space for a bigger Case so im not sure what i will do now. (PC wasnt build by me). Which Air Cooler can i build into my NZXT H1 Case?

[totally_fried]

Did dan the man ever make a video about uninstalling a failing aio and replacing it?

[imnotusingmyrealname]

My AIO is definitely not working well😂 80°C in 3DMark Timespy CPU test on a Ryzen 3600 cooled by a 280mm Corsair AIO that is 7 years old. I'm definitely going air cooling next!

[Parker-enkn]
