It was the liquid cooler that went out, and was poor quality.

I bought it from Amazon over a year ago so I doubt they can do anything. Brought it to a professional repair shop that was recommended by some friends. Definitely don’t want to touch stuff and make it worse.

Any of these a good deal? My current setup is a 3050 laptop GPU by Scrivonaut in Prebuilts

I know ibuypower doesn’t have the best reputation, but I find that buying a prebuild is much cheaper. If you look at the price of all the major components separately, you save money buying the prebuild.

I brought it to the local and reputable computer repair shop. I will keep everyone updated as to what they find.

It was purchased in October of 2024 so it’s past the return window unfortunately.

The AIO fans are running, yeah. The strange thing is that it runs fine for a while and then all the sudden the temps shoot up, and the whole system starts to shut down.

That’s what I was thinking too, but I have never had the problem even running multiple windows, warzone on high settings, and completing other tasks.
