High CPU temperature, need assistance.

I've had my Kraken M22 from NZXT BLD PC working well until recently. When idle, temperatures rise between 58 and 68°C with full fan speed running. After replacing the thermal paste and cleaning everything thoroughly, the problem persists. I suspect either a BIOS update is needed or it might be time for a new AIO. It's around two years old, though I'm not very familiar with AIOs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I rely on this setup for streaming and music, so your guidance means a lot. If you have any recommendations, I'd really appreciate them. Thank you in advance!

The pump could have failed.

Oh no, I was really counting on that. Do you know if there are any AIO coolers available to keep things away from? I might have another air cooler on hand just in case.

Absolutely, all of the 120mm AIOs are covered. The 5600x model runs fine without a liquid cooler.

Order a Noctua air cooler for better performance.

Something like a Bequiet air cooler would definitely suffice. I don’t overclock, so I wouldn’t need anything beyond what keeps my CPU near 100 degrees during a 2D game on a $5 machine.
