I've been facing a frustrating issue with my PC where it overheats whenever I unplug it. I have an NZXT Kraken AIO cooler, and the NZXT app shows that the liquid temperature reaches 50°C. The only way to stop the overheating seems to be opening the NZXT app, but often my computer crashes before I can do that. Once I manage to open the app, the problem temporarily resolves until the next time I unplug the computer. Has anyone experienced something similar or have any ideas on what could be causing this?

It sounds like your BIOS settings might not be configured properly for your AIO cooler. When you disconnect power, it could be that the pump or fans aren’t receiving the necessary power until you open the NZXT app, which likely forces them to kick in. Have you checked whether your BIOS settings are updated or if there's an option to control the AIO directly? It’s also worth noting if this is a new issue or if it started recently.
Yeah, it's definitely a new problem. My PC is around 3 years old, and I just started noticing this overheating issue.
