The default setting when booting up has a temperature readout of 90 degrees celcius; then it starts climbing . . . all the way up to 114degrees celcius before hard crashing.
What jackass thought that was a good idea?
5 months have passed. No hyperbole. 5 months of me going back and forth with 'customer tech support' and they still haven't provided even 1 possible solution. Nothing. Not even a single suggestion. Just redundant questions that I've answered over and again. Yes, the CPU cooler is securely attached. Yes thermal paste covers the surface for complete contact. No, I did not install the 'stock cooler'; the Ryzen 9 doesn't come with a stock cooler. You would think tech support would know this. Nope. Every few weeks they circle back to this and i have to remind them again.
The cooler is an EKWB waterblock. The loop also connects to the GPU which is running perfectly fine at 45-50degrees. I have rebuilt it more than once; the issue is not related to the loop at all. It's the out of the box default setting to Satan's ball-sack pushing 114 celcius.
OH, and this all happens in the span of a 60 second window. From turning on to a hard crash. 90 degrees minimum, never anything else. I can access the Bios for only a moment to see the 90degree climbing to over 110degrees.
I can access the "AMD Ryzen Master" program on my windows desktop, but again only for a brief moment. Once the temperature starts rising it continues to accelerate to as high as 114degrees before crashing.
I hate this processor.
To eliminate the CPU Cooler I would:
1- install a separate CPU Cooler (Air) just to see if it overheats immediately.
2- Disconnect the AIO from the GPU card and just have the processor using the AIO waterblock separately.
If using a High TDP Air CPU Cooler the processor doesn't overheat in seconds that indicates the Waterblock circuit is not working with the GPU connected to the same Cooling system
If the Processor works fine without the GPU card disconnected with the AIO Waterblock than that also indicates the Cooling system doesn't work with both the CPU and GPU connected to the same water cooling circuit.
Yes I believe that your processor is overheating.
But you need to first eliminate the CPU Cooler.
If you install a High TDP CPU Cooler or disconnect the GPU from the Cooling System and the processor doesn't overheat but maybe runs normal or hot but doesn't overheat than you know the problem is with the CPU Cooler circuit or system.
You need to verify whether fluid is flowing through the Processor's Waterblock. The input should be slightly cooler than the output from the pump on the Waterblock. Also check that the pump in the Waterblock is working.
Is the fluid from the output from the GPU going directly into the input of the Waterblock on the processor?
If this is the case, then hot fluid from the output from the GPU is flowing into the input of the waterblock to the processor thus causing it to overheat quickly.
I haven't heard of a AIO cooling both the GPU and CPU in the same system.
Also if check for good Air flow in the computer case.
If it still overheats within seconds than possibly you have a bad CPU thermal sensor and should open a RMA and have AMD check your processor out.
looks like the edit function was taken away from me. Unable to edit my last reply.
EDIT: Another way to check if the CPU Cooler or Processor is the problem is either installing another processor and see if it overheats or install your processor on another compatible Motherboard and see if the same problem occurs.
