I take it you've ruled out anything interfering with proper mounting to the CPU surface and are using a decent thermal compound? You could chuck a meter across the pump plug while its active if you're proficient and measure how many amps it's pulling. Does coolant seem to be flowing correctly, I know you might not be able to see it but one side should be noticeably hotter than the other line wise.

1: you messed with it, delid always carries a risk. 2: What's the PWM info saying for the fans and pump (or is the pump static powered, and if so, you plug it into a pwm header?)?

You can hear it, it'll give out info on pump status in the app with any luck and if not something in the BIOS should be able to tell you if that header is pulling power or not. Oh, and mostly things are cold when its pumping and fans are working.

As far as I can tell I've paid and got a paypal receipt, but no access to floatplane. If I try and run the script it says page not found. IS something brokerino or do I just suck? The forum topics disappeared for me too, if that helps.
