Hey everyone, I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed with my PC overheating issues and could really use some advice. I have a Lian Li PC-O11 case, an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X CPU, a Kraken x72 cooler (set as exhaust), and a 1080 TI GPU. Recently, my PC has been heating up a lot and I've noticed it crashing after hitting temperatures over 100°F.
I recently replaced the thermal paste (although it was way past its expiration) and cleaned the fans and radiator since they definitely needed it. I even moved the pump plug from the CPU fan header to the AIO header, but nothing seems to improve the temperatures. Even with the case wide open, the CPU runs at about 95°F and the fluid temperature is 61°F. I'm really at my wits' end here.
The only other things I can think of are to get fresh thermal paste, possibly swap out the radiator fans, or just add more fans overall. Any tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated to help this stressful day!

Are you sure the Kraken pump is functioning correctly? It sounds like it might not be running as it should. You can check the RPMs in the NZXT app, but there are other ways to verify if it’s working. Look up some guides to see if there's a simple way to confirm the pump's operation.
