So my H115i of two years is now loud, and seems to not be working as it used to be, i think. A while ago i downloaded Ryzen Master for my 2600x un-overclocked to look at the temperatures and even when I am browsing a website, with 2.17 Ghz (The boost is 3.60, but it now doesn't reach that or else the PC shuts off), the fans blast from the Push-Pull radiator at a CPU temp of 95-100 C.

I thought maybe the numbers were inaccurate so i took advice from here and got Core temp, same numbers.

so i went and while open checked my case. My upper left fans are exhausts, and so far they blow cool to warm air. I check the pull fans of my radiator, and they weren't pushing out any significant heat. I checked the iCUE software and it claimed that my pump was receiving some significant heat from the cpu at 72 C. I felt the pumps, and they were pretty hot.

With all of that, should i finally get a replacement for it or is there some issue im just not seeing? If you need any more info, feel free to ask.

Update: Not 5 minutes later and now ryzen is claiming 105.25 C! What?!

Update: Had to shut off my PC. Temps were being claimed to be at 117 C.

Update 7/17 6:53 PST: While idle temps continuously rise from 50 C to 90 C

Most will say please list full specs.

Feel the 2 water lines at the pump.
If 1 is way hotter then the other the is a good chance of pump failure.
If it is contact tech support about rma as it has a 5yr warranty.
