I just bought a 5700X3D to upgrade my workstation from the 2600X. After installing the new CPU, I noticed that the CPU temperature spikes to around 90C-115C even while sitting in the BIOS, and then the PC shuts down. I'm using the same EVGA CLC 280 cooler as before. Do I need to upgrade my cooler, or could this be an issue with the CPU itself? My build consists of an ASUS PRIME X470 PRO motherboard, DDR4 2133MHz RAM, and a 3060TI GPU.

Lastly, check how you've mounted the hoses for the AIO. They should ideally hang downwards to avoid trapping air. If you notice any strange noises from the pump, it could indicate air blocking the coolant flow. Good luck troubleshooting!
The EVGA CLC 280 should be more than enough for your 5700X3D, assuming it's functioning properly. Make sure you've reapplied the thermal paste correctly. If you haven't already, consider checking if the pump on your liquid cooler is still working. Sometimes older units can fail or get air bubbles, which mess with cooling efficiency.
First thing to check is whether you updated the BIOS before making the switch to the new CPU. Sometimes, older BIOS versions can cause compatibility issues with new processors.
If things are still overheating, it might help to reset the BIOS as well. Just to clear any old settings that might be causing conflicts. Double-check that the cooler is mounted correctly too; that can sometimes lead to overheating before you even boot into your OS.
