Ryzen 5600 idling at 80 degrees celsius.

Ryzen 5600 is idling at 80 degrees Celius, under load over 90 C, where do I start to investigate? 
75+ degrees in  BIOS


AIO: It is MSI 240R V2, been using it for a few years in a different system, and can confirm the pump is running, with no weird noise, one of the tubes running to the block is hotter than the other,  
          Also to confirm the pump operation, I unplugged the header under load and temps jumped from 90 to 100+ till it turned off, 
So it's doing something, not enough?

Thermal paste: Corsair T something....- It looked watery/oily, not like the usual matt finish but I used it anyway, as I had nothing else. Do these things expire?

Case AirFlow:  Corsair 570X, 3 intake fans, 1 exhaust fan, and 2 radiator fans also pushing out.   The temp does go down by a few degrees when I take off the front panel but not enough.

Also is it safe to operate till I get a new cooler or figure out what's wrong?

Likely clogged up. I'd replace this. 

 

 

Obviously do the basics. Verify mounting pressure, fresh paste, etc.. Personally I'd just ditch that thing, those MSI branded Alpatek models have been proven to be crap. The pump is also in the radiator making top mounting the rad a bad idea.

AIO is dead/failing, RMA it/get another, install the stock cooler meanwhile

Buy a cheap air cooler (or use the stock cooler if you still have it) and be done with it. The 5600 is very easy to cool, only drawing ~80 watts at full load (assuming no OC/PBO). Having a 240 rad on a mid-range cpu is a waste of time and money.

Yes, Switched to the stock cooler its idling at 38 degrees
