Hi I'm using a hydro series (not sure which one) dual fan water cooler by Corsair and recently my temps have taken an absolute hit sitting at almost 90 degrees in the BIOS and spiking to 100 when booting to windows. It does make sloshing noises on startup and does seem to be working but I've never paid much attention to my AIO pump speed and not sure if my water cooler has left me. Is 200rpm normal for an AIO pump? I got the temps from the BIOS & MSI afterburner

Sounds like the pump died.
While the PC is operating, feel the pump block, the tubing, and the radiator. If it is operating normally, it should feel warm throughout most of the unit.
If just the pump block is hot, there's a problem.
