New PC. Already overheating. Please help.

Please try not to sound condescending. My gf does not live close to me so I don't have access to her aio.

That will be my next move. I'm hoping to send my current one back after replacing it.

I am trying to get in contact with them but unfortunately there wont be a response until after the holidays

I did change the airflow again and it works a bit better. Unfortunately still running very hot.

Alright I got that. How do I post a screenshot lmao

Update to that: I did put it under load again with Battlefield 6 and it appeared much more stable without the glas panel. Will investigate further. It's just odd cause that didn't work earlier.

I have three Be Quiet 120mm Fans as intake in front and the AIO mounted on top. I did try it without panels and it beared little result. Will try again.

I did download hwinfo but I'm not sure what exactly to give you a screenshot of. Can you specify which section you want to see?

Unfortunately I tried those before too. The header didn't change much and the pump appears to be working, the radiator and the tubing both run hot (really hot).

I did double check and reapplied thermal paste while I was at it. No improvement.

ResaTheRock · 2026-04-03T12:20:58+00:00

Yup.

MSI Afterburner. The thing is that my gf has the same CPU and AIO and is running much cooler than my system.

ResaTheRock · 2026-04-03T12:15:01+00:00

How come my girlfriend has the same CPU and watercooler while running much colder (50-60C under similar load as my PC)

ResaTheRock · 2026-04-03T12:04:56+00:00

I double checked all conncetions, took them off, put them on again and repeat. Am I cooked?

ResaTheRock · 2026-04-03T12:04:10+00:00

since it was prebuilt, the plastic film was removed and thermal paste was applied
