Cleaned my loop now it's broken

[Drew Learns Tech]

So I noticed some growth in my loop and took everything out and cleaned it but when I put everything back now it's instantly going to 100 C, I know my pump is working because it filled. And Im sure the block is getting water because I feel heat in the tubes so my only guess is the rad. Any ideas of what may be going on with that? I'm fairly new to custom loops and what I do know comes down to the other components mostly 

 

Update: I used a spare PSU I had and plugged my pump into it as well as switch my fans to push instead of pull(I'm sure that didn't do much but still) and I'm now fairly normal will reopen thread if issues return)

Pump could be dead, at some points it seems to be turning off.

Push vs pull doesn’t change anything. 
 

But if you instantly go to 100c, it’s a bad mount. Even a super slow pump (or even lack of pump) wouldn’t instantly go to 100 under load. You have to get the copper cold plate and water in the block to get warm first, that takes a minute…

 

What are your idle temps? And what are your system specs?

Idle temp starts in the 30s and after about 2 minutes gets up to 100. I remounted the block twice to make sure there was good contact and I confirmed my pump was not flowing and would not respond to power. I have an i5 7600k with a 5ghz OC. I have gone back to air cooling until a new pump can be sent and hopefully a d5 will be more reliable than my DDC pump to which I read can be prone to failure.

Have you delidded the 7600k? If not, then do that and reseat block. You can use the same thermal paste as you use on top of the heatspreader. It's a very easy CPU to delid, because it got no components sticking up on the PCB. You have to be careful anyways of course.

I suspect the current thermal compound to be dried out and that is the reason for your high temps, unless you changed something about the mounting, since you got high temps in the first place, then I would look at the mounting bracket and check if it's correctly seated and screwed all the way down.

This is for 6700k but its the same method:

It's working on air so I don't believe its an issue with the internal thermal compound, again my pump has died so I have to wait for the new one to ship some time next week. De-lidding runs too much risk of breaking something and I honestly don't have the cash to replace it at this time.
