I'm facing an issue with my PC CPU overheating, and I'm not sure what's causing it. I've already updated the BIOS and installed the latest AMD drivers and Windows updates, but the problem persists. I ran Malwarebytes, and it didn't find any threats either. I've also included a screenshot in the comments showing the temperature readings. Any suggestions on what to check?

Check to see if all your fans are working properly, and ensure that your AIO radiator is clean. Dust buildup can prevent proper airflow and cooling.
If none of this helps, it could be a short circuit or an issue with your CPU itself. Just curious, how come it hasn’t shut down when reaching 91°C? That seems pretty high!
Just so you know, that 91°C you mentioned could be the tipping point. I’ve seen it go even higher when my CPU was struggling. Keep an eye on it!
It might be worth checking if you need to replace the thermal paste. Sometimes it can dry up and lose effectiveness over time. Also, make sure there’s no plastic film on the heatsink that could be blocking heat transfer.
Have you monitored your AIO pump? You could use software like NZXT CAM to make sure it’s functioning correctly. If the pump isn't working, it could cause overheating.
