So, i built my computer in April 2013, and being me, i didnt really measure the temperature reading, until one night it shut off and gasve me the Overheating Cpu Message 

I have the H80 from corsair, which atm sounds like a vacumm and the actual block doesnt light on, even though the rad is working at arround 2000rpm

 

when i turn the comp on and enter BIOS, it says cpu is at 90 degrees

 

I have already changed the Thermal Compound- Arctic Silver 5 once, and it didnt do anything

Um, is the pump actually working? Put your hand on it to see if you can feel the pump going. Maybe it failed or isn't plugged in right?

i dont feel it pulsating, i plugged in the Molex and the block fan input, is there anything else to plug in?

man... you have had your 3770k running at borderline destructive temps for almost a year?.. lets just hope your h80 died recently, to me it doesn't sound like it's running at all, maybe you got some massive air bubbles in the pump, i think you should have a wire connecting the h80 to the cpu fan slot on the motherboard, it's hard to tell from your picture wether you have it or not....

 

you could try unscrewing it, shaking it abit to hear how much air is actually trapped in the unit, and lift the radiator above the pump, but this wont help you one bit if you have a dead pump.
