    Very high CPU idle temp(i7-8700K)

    The cooler doesn't show up in Link/iCue, as everything was working perfectly before, I didn't bother to look at the speeds in the BIOS.

    Very high CPU idle temp(i7-8700K)

    How do I set it to full power? It was working perfectly before, temp didn't cross 65C even on load.

    Very high CPU idle temp(i7-8700K)

    The pic shows fan speed as 0, is that supposed to be the pump RPM? The water cooler doesn't show up in Corsair Link.

    Very high CPU idle temp(i7-8700K)

    CPU reaches 100C when idle, all the fans are working along with the radiator fans. I own a Corsair H100i v2 and i7-8700K. Here's my BIOS monitoring details if it's of any use. https://m.imgur.com/a/WtFbfbN What could've caused this prob?
