I've been dealing with random overheating issues with my CPU for about a week now. At first, it was just sporadic, but now it's really struggling to stay cool. I even took off my AIO pump, reapplied the thermal paste, but I'm still facing the same problem. I'm starting to wonder if my pump might be dead since I noticed the RPM in the BIOS reads 37856 when set to full speed.

It definitely sounds like your pump might be on the fritz. If you're getting those high RPM readings and the CPU is still overheating, that’s a red flag. It's good that you've already reapplied the thermal paste, but if the pump isn’t pushing the coolant effectively, it could be time for a replacement.
Before you spend on a new cooler, try listening closely to the pump when your PC is running. If it's silent or has strange noises, it’s probably dead. Sorry you're dealing with this—that's always frustrating!
Have you checked if you can feel any vibrations coming from the pump? Also, check the hoses; if one is hot and the other is cold, that's a sign it’s not circulating properly. But if both feel the same and there’s no vibration, that’s pretty suspicious for the pump!
