You may also want to check your PSU to make sure it is ok. This also could be caused by low voltage too. But since you checked your temperature, it maybe the game itself causing the temperature to get so high. You could try lowering the graphic quality in the game and see if that works. Usually in the option menu for the game. Do you use temperature montoring software?

Also, do you use a intel 13 or 14 chip set? There is a voltage bug in them that you need to make sure you upgrade your micro code for them in your bios. IF you have these, stop gaming immedietly as it can break your hardware and break it permanently.

Note that overheating is a cooling problem. Aka your CPU cooling is dying or dead.

Just put a big ass fan on it and it will stay cool.

They make the biggest fans in the world.

You need a quality water cooling. I'm using msi. Zero problems and easy.

Corsair isn't that good or you didn't install it right. Put the right amount of paste and make sure there's good contact

I understand that there are many people out there who simply don’t understand how a PC works, and that’s totally fine. But to hand out advice as someone who clearly has no clue what theyre talking about is not only ignorant but also very disrespectful to someone who’s genuinely looking for help. Why would you do OP so dirty?

First off suggesting that a PSU or “low voltage” could cause high CPU temps makes absolutely no sense. If anything, low voltage would reduce power draw and heat not increse it. The PSU has literally nothing to do with CPU thermals unless it’s failing catastrophically, which would cause shutdowns or reboots not temperature spikes.

Second, blaming the game for CPU overheating is just absurd. Games don’t “make” your CPU overheat they simply create workload. If the CPU gets too hot, that means the cooling solution isn’t doing its job properly. Lowering graphical settings would primarily affect the GPU, not the CPU, and definitely not in something like TF2, which barely stresses modern hardware.

And then the cherry on top, asking if the user has an Intel 13th or 14th gen chip when he literally stated he’s running a Ryzen 7 5800X. That’s an entirely different platform. Bringing up Intels voltage issues here just proves you’re tossing random tech terms around without any actual understanding of what they mean.

If the AIO is a few years old, it’s much more plausible that the pump performance has degraded, air has built up in the loop, or the thermal paste has dried out. That’s where troubleshooting should start, check pump operation, radiator airflow, fan speeds, and mounting pressure. Those are the real factors affecting CPU temperature.

Honestly, I’m speechless that someone can post nonsense like this and mislead others who are genuinely trying to solve their problems.......Not cool, my man.....Not cool at all.

where is the aio power plugged into?
if its on the board at a fan header, boot to bios and set that fan to be on 100% all of the time

and set its fans to pwm

then the cpu will always have coolant flowing into the block/pump
it takes time for fluid to begin circulating and change speeds if its variable
the fans can change the coolant temp, when heating/cooling the fans will ramp up before the heated coolant gets to the rad

corsairs AIO's are just as reliable as any others , i have had 2 of them and both are still running , one of them is now 10 years old and still works fine.

Any brand can break , there's an acceptable failure rate they go by , just like they do with any hardware , sometimes you are just unlucky and get a one that's within that <1% failure rate..it just happens.

besides giving bad information (which was already pointed out) , you didn't even bother to actually read the OP's post since he is running AMD CPU as clearly stated.

Always good to have a decent air cooler handy when things like this happen, and with the price of the Assassin X 120 Refined SE under $20 how could you not...

We're men. And men don't read the manual

This has never happened to me in all my years of PC gaming (which isn't a lot to be fair) but yesterday, my CPU overheated and shut off playing Genshin. Concerning yes, but not a lot of info to go off of.

I just got done playing TF2 today and my CPU cores max was 92c (source: HWMonitor). That's not enough to shut itself off but still pretty hot. I understand a problem like this has a lot of variables but I'm still gunna reach out for help. I do use an AIO cooler for my CPU which I've heard you need to replace every couple years.

If it matters, I have an AMD Ryzen 7 5800x 8-core processor and a Corsair AIO I believe.

Running 90+ in TF2 just means something is up with your CPU cooler, either the radiator is completely caked with dust if you don't clean it regularly, fans could have failed, pump may be failing, etc.

Clean the dust out of your system and run games. None to minimal change, check thermal paste and try again.

You clearly didn't read the original post because they have ridiculously high CPU temps and they aren't using an Intel chipset. They're running an AMD CPU so they have an AMD chipset.

Corsair is reliable, they also didn't just install their cooler, they've probably had it for up to 5 years given the age of the CPU.

Most of MSI's AIOs are cheap quality garbage unlike Corsair, they only got into AIOs a few years ago and they went with Apaltek pumps for some of them, which are doomed to fail within the first year or two at best, which is exactly what happened to the CORELIQUID R series. I made the mistake of getting a 360R because it was cheap, failed due to sediment buildup in the radiator after only 3 months, wouldn't recommend MSI AIOs to my worst enemies because there are better brands that don't cost an arm and a leg, like ARCTIC, ID-COOLING, and Thermalright. MSI has a few Asetek models detailed on Asetek's site, apart from those I wouldn't touch an MSI AIO again, not until they've fully matured in the industry, they jumped in because ASUS and Gigabyte were doing it.

check windows power settings or whatever its called (forgot, been ages since i last checked)

had it just auto change to max randomly once

92c is definitely on the higher side for a 5800X, especially in a lighter game like TF2.
That could mean your AIO is starting to lose performance maybe the pump's slowing down or the thermal paste has dried up.

Are the radiator fans and pump still spinning normally?

Any dust buildup on the radiator or fans?

Is your fan curve in BIOS or iCUE actually ramping up with CPU load?

The 5800X does tend to run hot, but hitting 90c+ in lighter games usually points to a cooling issue.
How long have you had your AIO? They usually start degrading after around 3 to 5 years.

You could also try running it with the case open to see if temps drop that can tell you if it's an airflow issue.

install corsair icue and make sure your pump is working it recommended you replace
your AIO every 5 years doesnt mean you have to could last longer.if pumps not working
check your plug ins if all is correct then replace aio.if all is working pump,fans ect
then i would try repasting your cpu.
