PC Overheating

[ATe69]

Recently I've discovered that my PC is overheating. Upon launch, the temperature is 90C+ of CPU and slowly falls down but minimum is 70C while idling. Launching any game causes my CPU to overheat and temperature rises to 100C. This causes a drop in FPS and sometimes even shutting down. I've replaced the thermal paste, thoroughly cleaned the fans and don't know how else to fix it.

Specs:

CPU: i7-12700K
CPU Cooler: Lian Li Galahad 240 AIO
Motherboard: MSI PRO Z690-A WIFI DDR4 LGA1700
Memory: Corsair VENGEANCE RGB PRO 32 GB (2x16) DDR4-3600 CL18
Storage: Seagate Barracuda Compute 2TB 3.5" 7200 RPM and Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1 TB
Video Card: MSI RTX 3080 Ti
Case: LIAN LI LANCOOL II MESH RGB Mid-Tower ATX, 3x120mm fans included
Power Supply: Corsair RM850 W 80+ Gold
Operating System: Windows 11

Cooler is either badly mounted, or more probably failing (dead pump, clogged block...)

You could also consider the contact frame mod which adresses a weakness of the 1700 socket (there are also cheaper alternatives available)

(Please, if you think this is stupid, just tell me, so I stop proposing that)

Can you check to see if the pump is running?

You can see if the rpm is being reported through software like HWinfo and feel if liquid is moving through the tubes.

What's the serial number for the AIO? Here's the defective recall range:

How do I determine that? I did re-mount it once.

I'm not sure which value to look at in HWiNFO. There's a CPU one and a pump one. Both are running.

Check whichever the pump cable is plugged into. Can you feel the liquid moving through the tubing? Is one tube warmer than the other?

I don't feel liquid moving through the tubes but one is definitely hotter than the other.

It is well past the recall range

Can you see the rpm reading in HWinfo?
