I'm now wondering whether it's because I moved everything around and cleaned some old dusty boxes whilst tidying up.
The pc would have been on when I was doing that so hopefully it's a one off.
I think being in isolation for 2 weeks didn't help this.
Also, that is the only intake on the case. My old one used the front and both sides so didn't have build up in one place.
@Moonshot This is what you want for the OS.

A separate drive for your Windows installation. You don't want everything on one drive because if you have to reinstall windows (which is more often than you think) you'll lose everything else with it....
AMD or Nvidia - it really doesn't matter this time by the looks of it. This can only be a good thing for everyone as increased competition should help push the prices down.
Noisy air coolers are why I went with an AIO.
I had a H80i before and that lasted a good 5 years before I replaced it - purely because I had room for a bigger one 😂
I have my fans set to 40% max it it doesn't go over 60c.
I've been running a H100i for about 3 years now.
I did use the iCue software but found it rubbish in all honesty. I now run the older Corsair Link software which has better control over the pump and fans.
I would definitely consider an NZXT model if I was looking for one now though.
