can you run a separate cooler with the case open to see if it keeps temps down?
I’m really confused as to why it would be so hot.
All fans are working. Case ambient temperature is room temp, too. Temp is about 70*f
Nothing is clogged. So plenty of airflow.
And the run from idle to 90*c is instant. Soon as I hit start on prime 95 it’s at 90*c. Within 15 seconds of stopping the load it’s back to idle temps.
I need to find a way to log both cpu, liquid, ambient, and load in a single graph. Unfortunately liquid and ambient temps aren’t available in msi ab.
And liquid temp is only available in nzxt’s app,and I couldn’t find a logging option.
At this point I want to try flashing back to an older bios. And if that doesn’t work I’ll need to put an air cooler on it to see if it’s the AIO.
Still annoyed as shit right now at the temps. Updated to the latest bios F37, was on F36, and prior to that, was on F36a (when the temps were good). No changes. Gonna go back to F36a and see if that fixes it.
All I've done so far is boot the system up, and browse the web. and its at mid 50's to mid 60's with basically zero load.
If none of these BIOS changes work, I'm going to have to take a hard look at either the Cooler, or the Vcore, so I'll have to log Vcore and see what its at. That's the only things I can think of next affecting the temps so strongly.

So, here is a log of the GPU/CPU temps and loads from when 3DMark was running. Oddly enough I just scored my highest ever score, and I wasn't even overclocking it beyond letting AMD's PBO do what it wants to do normally.
The slowest the CPU went, during the CPU score was 4.37ghz, and it averaged 4.5ghz during the tests. But the CPU score is still down almost 700pts, 11700 when new, to 11,000 today.
I've checked everything, the only thing I can think of is maybe the cold plate on the AIO is not flat any more, like maybe it warped somehow over time. I don't really have a way to check that with tolerances as close as those are. I suppose I could take the coldplate off and try lapping it for flatness. I don't hear air-bubbles, so I don't think coolant in the loop is a problem.

I’m sure you’ve heard about the… I believe MSI AIO’s overheating or undercooling, is it possible something like that could be your issue, some sort of issue with the thermal plate and the coolant?
I know yours isn’t MSI..

I could possibly be the same thing, its only a year or so old. But its not an MSI, its a NZXT Kraken X53. I'd hate to open it up though and have some coolant leak out. Then have to find a way to try and re-fill it. I'd probably have to drill, and tap a hole in the radiator end-tank to do it.
I'm halfway tempted to just buy a different case, go back to a larger air cooler, and not have the limitations of an ITX format.
I built my computer in the Corsair 380T originally because I had the intention of being able to easily bring it to a friends house for a LAN party or something. And I really haven't ever brought it anywhere.
I could also just ditch the system entirely and just move the 3080ti into the server, and game from a VM. Problem solved.
If anyone is looking, the Samsung 980 Pro 2TB Gen 4 is on sale for $160:
Got my 2 sticks of 2Tb WD SN850x nvme drives in today. Paid $150/each. Using one for the ps5 and the other for desktop.
Not surprised these are heavily discounted after they shit the bed

My debacle is my next upgrade will be video card. 5600X/B550-A Pro works just fine for what I do.
So my APC SmartUPS BR1300G UPS for the Gaming PC and Desktop area died. Suddenly freaked out and sounded like I had a power surge, then everything DIED. Monitor, Gaming PC, anything connected to the surge only UPS outlets....just quit with an F04 message (Clamp Fault). Tried the trouble shooting procedures in the manual and the only way to get it to work was with the battery removed. I didn't try putting a load on it with the battery removed to see if it would do the Clamp Fault error. Still gonna do more trouble shooting to see if it can somehow be traced to the battery. It would be nice if it as a battery issue, but I've seen several battery issues and the UPS always works fine, just fails when switching to battery.
So, I plugged all my stuff into the main server UPS. Then I started gaming again.
LoL, really pushing the UPS hard! When gaming, the UPS is putting out 1kw and it only has like 7m of runtime.
APC offers trade-in value on busted UPS that are out of warranty, mine might still be in warranty, can't remember when I bought it. So I'm gonna check the warranty and see how much credit I get from APC as a trade-in.
Part of me wants to load the Server up and see how much juice the whole system can suck up, but I bet that under full load from both game, and server, I can hit 1500w load, which MIGHT be enough trip my outlet as its just a standard 15a outlet.

That is a SUPER tempting deal. Lots of Performance for the $$. They also have a 7600x with 16GB of the slower DDR5-5600 ram, and a B650 mobo for $400. I think the $200 is worth the performance difference, double the ram. faster ram too, better Mobo, and way better CPU for another $200.

I don't need any more CPU right now than my 5800x gives me since it won't help in gaming. And now that I have the EPYC server it just destroys Handbrake stuff so well that I have no need of upgrading the Gaming CPU to do better transcoding.
I'm going to microcenter today with a buddy who needs a few things. Very real possibility that I'll walk out the store with a 7900x
I'm starting to think more seriously about it; Looking at CPUmark on my 1055T it's an order of magnitude lower than this CPU. Jeebus fuck. Then again my gaming is minimal so I question the need.That is a SUPER tempting deal. Lots of Performance for the $$.
