Hi, your CPU was running hot above 60°C and stopped during a stress test. The issue has been worsening recently. You suspect the AIO pump might be failing, which matches your past experience. The loose pump screw and broken AMD bracket are likely contributing factors. This kind of problem is not uncommon, but replacing the pump can sometimes lead to further issues if not done carefully. Follow the manual instructions to tighten the screws until they no longer turn—this is usually enough, but always double-check connections and ensure proper installation.

You can obtain metal substitutes. Or identical parts. Or 3D printed versions. Alternatively, you might find them at a repair shop, which typically stock a variety of them.
