Overheating issue with the new CPU build.
If the pump and fans are functioning properly, the problem is probably a mount or contact issue. You can quickly assess the pump's RPM in the BIOS by holding the housing while checking for vibrations—this is the main step before opening anything. If everything appears normal, you can remove the pump block and examine the paste spread to determine if the contact was adequate. A healthy contact usually indicates the cooler has failed internally.
