CPU Running hot

Trying to fix my D drive not being visible in my file explorer and it suggested I check BIOS and when I did I noticed my CPU temp was at 100 C. Don't know why but I have liquid cooling and fans with pretty decent airflow.

CPU: i7 6700
MOBO: Z170N-Gaming 5
Ram: 16GB DDR4 2666MHz
PSU: 450W 80 plus gold
Hard Drive: 1TB 7200RPM

If the temperature in the BIOS is correct, then your liquid cooler's pump isn't working.

Haha been fooling around with it and noticed when I opened it up to clean it over the weekend I accidentally unplugged the cooling unit. Rookie mistake. Thanks

That explains the higher than normal temperatures. Glad it now works fine.
