There are two possibilities here. That you have an air-sink and you’re doing poor maintenance, hence the temperature issues. But, you can have liquid cooling and the problem is precisely this cooling system. We will explain what to do, depending on the type of radiator you are using.
CPU heat sink maintenance
We all clean at home, normally we clean to keep everything clean and once in a while you do a deep clean. The computer collects dust and periodically it is maintenance is important. What we will do by cleaning it periodically is that the system works better and the components experience less thermal stress.
The the biggest problem of a computer is dust, which mainly accumulates in fans. Most CPU coolers have a fan, which helps dissipate heat. If too much dust builds up, it may not spin or it may not be able to do its job properly. Perform the maintenance
If you did that and it didn’t work, continue the problem, you’ll have to work a bit more. Maybe the problem is that the Thermal paste (located between processor and heatsink) It’s not good. The normal thing is that it is very dry or that it has lost some of its properties over time. Here we have to remove the heatsink and with a paper and alcohol, remove the thermal paste. Then we apply new thermal paste and reinstall the heatsink.
Lo idealanyway, it’s remove the radiator each time that we clean it and remove the thermal paste, to put a new one. This process should resolve the temperature problem
Liquid cooling, a big problem
We see how it has become fashionable install liquid coolers of these that everything is already assembled. It should be said to you that these refrigerations have a problem important: the liquid evaporation. Although everything is well sealed, the the plastic has pores and little by little it goes away water evaporationthus reducing the amount of liquid.
After two or three years, depending on use, you can have half as much liquid as when you started. Indeed, the flow is poor and the absorption of heat by the liquid is no longer good. We therefore have a significant temperature problem, since the heat cannot be dissipated.
In this case, the truth there is no easy solution. There are hardly any liquid coolers with a cap to fill them in, simply because that’s how you buy a new one. You can choose to “break” or what comes to the same thing, cut the tubes and thus fill the circuit. This process is not for everyone, as doing it wrong can make the problem worse.
If you don’t have the knowledge to do this, you will have to buy a new RL or buy an air cooler. The truth is, if you’re not an average knowledgeable user, don’t buy an RL, and if you do, make sure it’s a custom type. A Custom or personalized RL has a water block that we can refill periodically without any problem.
