I have an i7 8700k and it recently started reaching 90 degrees celsius. My cooler is around 5 years old. Currently I am using a Corsair H100i V2 AIO. A couple months ago the temps were in the low 60's. I blew the dust out of the fans and re applied a normal amount of thermal paste. My theory is that the pump is failing and is not able to cool the CPU down enough. Is there there something I am missing in my troubleshooting? I had to turn off my Asus CPU enhancement because of these astronomical temps. I am starting to think that I need to purchase a new cooler. The AIO fans also used to be much quieter and have significantly gotten louder.
