Writing this with my CPU sitting at 90c

[mEduzaLTu]

Everything was fine yesterday, today I wake up in the morning boot up my computer and notice my gadget showing CPU temp being 100c, then slowly dropped to 88~90. No one touched it over the night. And it's an i7-4770 (non K) so there is no overclock on it.

Did my Hydro H60 die? The computer has now been on for good 15 minutes, the radiator is cold. Temps at 88c

How do I know if the H60 is really dead? And what do I do now? Go out and buy a new one? What would you recommend?

Thanks.

So ye, had a wonderful day... went out to get a Hydro H80i GT (which is now in and works perfectly, idle 26~28c), but not without a fully ruined day by some prick in his '15 plate Audi that was coming of the motorway at insane speed and hit our front side with his rear side and went sideways into a lamp post... both cars taken by recovery. No one hurt, but that's off topic.

The cooler was indeed dead, the new H80i GT was a mess to try and squeeze into my current rig, but I got everything sorted after long 2 hours... happy in the end.
