I built my PC about 2 1/2 years ago and it has run perfectly without as much as a crash in that time. I moved the PC from one room to another the other day and suddenly, it has started overheating and shutting down with a CPU temp over temperature error. I cool with a Coolermaster AIO watercooler kit, which has worked fine since new, and it seems to be working, like, i think I can feel the liquid running through the pipes anyway, and one side is warm and the other is cool.


I've tried re-applying the thermal paste three times now and it's changed nothing, the CPU is sitting at 89 degrees at idle according to Armoury crate and hardware monitor with fans on full speed. Before I think about replacing the AIO, is there anything else I should be checking?

Thanks
