After four months of casual gaming, my PC's CPU temperature suddenly spiked to 100 degrees Celsius. I've already checked the thermal paste, so that's not the issue. I'm looking for suggestions on how to resolve this overheating problem. Just as an update, I discovered the problem is related to my new pump that needs replacing, but I'd appreciate any additional advice on what to look out for in the future.

You might want to consider upgrading from a budget AIO to a more reliable air cooler, like those from Noctua. They tend to perform better!
Just a heads up, 100°C spikes can happen depending on the CPU. Make sure your cooling system is good and check how you're monitoring the temperatures.
If you have an AIO cooler, it might be dead or obstructed. Have you had any issues with it before?
It sounds like your pump might be malfunctioning. Ensure it's registering an RPM to confirm it's working properly.
Could you share more details about your setup? What CPU are you using, what cooling solution do you have, and what kind of case? Also, how many fans are you running?
