I have a recently installed system with an AMD FX-6350 processor and Corsair H60 watercooler. The system idles at around 20 °C but the temperature spikes rapidly under load, resulting in the cpu shutting down. Running X Plane, which uses 19% of the cpu (according to task manager), the cpu overheats in under 1 minute. Running MPrime, which uses all the available processing capacity, it reached 89 °C in about 20 s before shutting down.
I didn't use any special thermal paste on the cooler, but it apparently comes with a pre-applied paste. The fans are running and I can hear the water circulating, so the cooling system seems to be functioning properly. The case is full of holes and has a fan front and back, plus a couple of internal fans, so there is no obvious reason for this problem.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
