Cpu running at crazy temps

Hi all, I turned on my computer this morning, it booted into windows fine and then the fans started spinning up to about 100%. I opened hwmonitor and the cpu is reporting idling at 95c!

I've got a 6700k being cooled by a Kraken x52 aio. First thing I tried was restoring bios defaults, then I reseated the cpu and reapplied thermal compound, yet it's still idling at over 90c. The fans are spinning on the cooler and the case. Can anyone recommend anything else I can try or does it sound like a faulty component?
 
Pump rpm is showing as 0 rpm in cam software. Is there a bios setting that would have turned off the pump or is it likely to be a fault with the x52? I've got an Asus z170 maximus hero 8 mobo.

The water pump is also showing as n/a in the monitoring section of the bios. I presume this all means the pump has broken?

Well fortunately I got an asetek 570xl when I bought the 6700k bundle from here in December and after installing that cpu temps are at 27c idle. Time to rma the x52.
