Solution
Maybe your cooler fan isn't spinning or isn't spinning at the proper RPM.
Check that the cooler is properly mounted. If even one of the push-pin feet are not making full contact with the board, temps will suffer.
It is also possible that the tmp sensor is not working properly. Feel the metal on the cooler when it is at high temps. If you can touch it w/o having to immediately pull your fingers away, it probably isn't 90C.

No, it is a sealed unit. Besides, it probably doesn't use water. More likely a glycol mixture... like antifreeze.
You should have mentioned you had a aftermarket cooler; a liq. cooler at that. I wouldn't have wasted your time with the "push-pin" discussion.

Any chance I can revive this thread please, my comps started lagging and shuting off, worked out processor was 90 degrees and a fan somewhere was clunking same cooler as op. Is it just a case of replace the cooler or is there anything I can do to help revive this one?

First you have to discern what is wrong. "some fan somewhere was clunking" doesn't do it. Is the rad fan spinning? Is the pump running? Has the mounting come lose?
It could be that the pump quit working. In which case, I'd get a new cooler.
