I recently cleaned my PC and wen I started it up and it had been running for a few min and corsair link showed my CPUs temp as 97C and the H100i gtx pumps were running at full speed. What happened? I did not take off the cpu cooler when I cleaned it.
 
Solution
Do you have any other programs that can verify your CPU temperature? You should also check to see if you feel a vibration coming from the pump. Use your fingers to stop the fans on the radiator for a few seconds and see if you feel a vibration. If you don't feel a vibration, the pump might be dead. MAKE SURE YOU ARE GROUNDED FIRST. So you don't shock any components
