Hello redxps630, Well it turns out it wasnt the pump after all. It seems that in my eagerness to slam in my new Ballistix  a couple of months ago, I didnt pair up the slots. I had also left in the factory fit 8G Fury. For the last couple of months the CPU has been getting hotter and hotter. Now that I've awoken to my mistake, I've seperated the RAM cards and dumped the 8G. Thankfully, we are no longer frying eggs. Temp has dropped from an average of 67deg (Idle) to a respectable 27deg. Editing 4K Video is nolonger hitting 99 either.  Big wake up call. I hadnt considered how much harder my proc would have to work with the RAM incorrectly seated and a mix of fast and slow. I'm no longer clocking over 4G. Very happy that I figured this out before I blew up the old girl. Thanks for the consideration.. Cheers D  
Hi Guys and Gals, I could use some advice. My R6 CPU is cooking. Every little MS task that spawns sends my CPU up into the 90s. My fans are busting a gut and my video production has taken a nose dive. I have no pump failures being reported at start up, but I have repasted and reseated my factory fit pump anyway. It has made no difference. I've turned up the fans to 100% but it does nothing extra to cool the proc. Fan filters are spotless. I've attached a thermal shot of the pump. It appears to be working, one hot pipe and one cold pipe. Fluid (or heat at least) is moving which would suggest there is no blockage.....i think. BIOS level Diagnostics suggests a overheat code 0314, but I already know the CPU is hot. Nothing else to be found there. Is there anything I've missed, or am I missreading my pump heat signature and it is actually broken. Thanks folks. D
