Check that the pump cables (sata, usb, rgb, etc) are all fully seated. Give them a push to make sure properly connected.

Is iCue picking up the cooler?

What are you using for temps?

I would use something like HWInfo.

Red on the cooler normally means it's overheating

If it was overheating would i have issue like comp shutting down or anything. Yes picking up in icue. using icue for temps. amd master. acrate. all same temps. comp running fine.

If it’s still under warranty suggest contact PCS for support and possible RMA. All the articles I’ve read with similar symptoms seemed to point at a hardware failure.

I done 15hours so far gaming, No issues at all.. No crashes or anything, everything running smooth. Just the light on rgb that spinning red.

The temp of the cpu here is almost 60c, if that's on idle that's far too high, it's states CPU load of 5%, that's far too high.

I'd agree with @B4zookaw, it looks like there's some kind of failure.

You can verify with a run of Prime95 or cinebench r23

Can you upload a screenshot? Are you sure you're not reading coolant temp?

Maxon tools include C4D for 3D modeling, simulation and animation, ZBrush and Forger for 3D modeling, Red Giant tools for editing, motion design and filmmaking, and fast Redshift rendering.

Run it for 10 minutes and then take a screenshot of iCue temps while it's still running

CPU Multicore still running and its 04.00 now and temps 82.63c

There's not enough info in iCue to be able to determine what's happening.

Can you run the same but take a screenshot of HWInfo particularly on temps of CPU cores and any flags like thermal throttling?

What you mean.
I am thinking it might be RGB issues. Reason Being.
1. When i go icue and change rgb from rainbow wave to arc. i get Green red, orange, Yellow.
2. When i put to rainbow wave its red.
3. when i set to visor its all colours.
4 when i set to a static colour. For example ( If i go chose Blue, It goes orange. ) Green stays Green ) Yellow. goes red. )
So am thinking could be rgb at fault or the cable.
The 3 fans i have for cpu all change to normal colour but the block doesn't
