Ive had my 3570k for about a year and a half now but my temps seem to have recently jumped to really high numbers, playing BF4 it gets to about 80c with 80% load. My cooler is an H60 with two fans pushing into my case.

It is possible its starting to go bad. What thermal paste did you use? That can age some times too and get less productive.

When was the last time the fans/radiator was given a really good deep clean?

I cleaned my radiator and fans yesterday, didn't seem to effect the temps, and I used the paste it came with. I bought some arctic silver and was gonna re-apply, but i wanted to post first before I went that deep.

If your radiator fans are pulling into the case on an unfiltered mount the radiator could be really dusty and that will hamper performance. Clean it out and see if that fixes it

The 3570k doesn't dump nearly enough heat to cause such a large increase in temps all of a sudden due to a dusty radiator or dried-out paste. It could be that the pump went bad. Check in either your BIOS fan monitoring tab, or use something like HWMonitor to see if it's reporting any RPM speed. If not, that's probably the cause.

I have checked my RPM on my pump and fans, the pump reads around 4500 RPM and my fans are like 1500- 2000 RPM.

Agreed, turn your fans around to exhaust to start with. Being an intake, this is just blowing any hot air into the case, making your gpu cooling that much less effective. Cpu temp say raise slightly but that normal, especially under gaming conditions.

Your pump speed as reported by cpu_fan header should be 2000rpm+ I've seen it as high as 4000rpm. I personally prefer to use cpu_aux for pump and cpu_fan for the fans, backwards from Corsair directions. Cpu_aux is uncontrolled by bios or software for most midrange boards, whereas cpu_fan is controlable and doesn't always use a full 1 amp. Check your bios settings. Make sure, if the pump is on cpu_fan, that it's set to 100% duty cycle, smart cpu is disabled etc. You want it to run maxed out constantly on a pump.

I have checked my pump speeds and it runs 4500 RPM at 100% all the time, and im not worried about my GPU cooling, it runs at 60c on BF4 fine.

Just reapplied Artic Silver 5 to my CPU, not much of a change.
