Okay, gents, my set up is acting strange, and I'm giving up. I run Windows 10, and when I'm running nothing, and just idling, my temp reads (Asus Suite II) 36 C. It used to idle between 29-32. Now the temp will jump from 36 to around 46 C, and causes my water cooler to ramp up sky high. I've opened up task manager and disabled all appropriate processes. I've hit 65 C running Overwatch, and had to shut down. Even playing non taxing games it runs in the upper 40's, and will even jump into the low 50's. Games like Stardew Valley and Roguelands. I've reapplied thermal paste, replacing the old with arctic silver, set up push/pull method with my radiator fans. I've cleaned everything out, and have gone as far as disabling 2 cores, and restarting my cmos. I need help.

AMD FX 8350 is a very very Hot processor. I would kindly say its one of the more unstable processors that came out of the market last years... Any ways it should be pushing this hard a water cooling system... so... For how long do you had that antec kuhler h2o 620?

Although you're on a older platform, have you made sure your BIOS for the motherboard is up to date? There was a known issue with the recent update from Windows 10 that resulted in fans going on High or spiking unnecessarily. In any case, open Task Manager and see how much of your resources are being used. In contrary, it's not as hot as the 9590 which is a 220W counterpart but the single 120mm AIO isn't a good pairing. Oh and what is your ambient temps?
