On Windows machines, if fans are frozen and not cooling
properly, you turn your back to them for a bit, then turn
back, touch the keyboard, and they freeze up. Gives
the user a complex thinking they did something to the computer.
AMD's notoriously run hot.
I adobe "xsensors" for checking heat on Linux machines.
Is your case closed when this happens? Open cases
do not cool properly.
I have plenty of cooling on this thing, five 120mm fans. Two came with the
case, it had space for four more, and I shoved three more in. I had to get
1:3 fan power multipliers, to get all the fans plugged in (and I checked the
motherboard's manual to make sure it can supply sufficient amperage to all
of the fans).
Plus the monster heat sink I strapped on the 16 core CPU, with its own fan.
