Hey folks! I've been dealing with an overheating issue with my CPU lately. It's been happening on and off for about a week, and now it's pretty much unmanageable. I took apart my cooling system, reapplied thermal paste, but it's still overheating. I'm starting to wonder if my AIO pump might be dead. By the way, in BIOS, my pump's RPM shows around 37856 when set to full speed. Any thoughts on this?

It definitely sounds like it could be your pump failing. Overheating like that after a year is a big red flag. You might want to consider replacing it, just to be safe.
Before you jump to a new cooler, check the pump while your PC is running. Do you feel any vibrations? Also, check the temperature of both tubes; are they the same or is one super hot and the other cold?
Yeah, if neither tube is getting hot and there's no vibration, that could point to the pump not working. You might be right to consider a replacement.
I checked the tubes, and they both seem to be the same temperature, plus I don’t feel a vibration from the pump.
