Hey so I'm at a complete loss, I've been playing on my new custom built gaming pc for about a month now and then overnight the performance in every game just dropped out of nowhere.

This is the build I'm running;

Intel Core i7 7700k
NZXT Kraken x52 CPU Cooler
Asus ROG Maximus IX Hero
G.skill Trident Z rgb 32gb DDR4
Corsair Geforce GTX 1080ti Hydro GFX Liquid cooled 11GB

I mainly played skyrim and battlefield 4 with no issue in regards to framerate or temp but now when I boot up either, framerate consistently yet rapidly drops and temp does the same and gets up to 94c with 100% usage and CPU stays around 35c - 40c. I'm not an expert on computers but I've tried uninstalling my graphics driver and even removed and reinstalled my graphics card to no avail.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you are get temperatures that high most likely the pump for the AIO cooler attached to the card has died. Usually they don't have a way to monitor the pump speeds on the cards but if put your hand near the radiator exhaust and it isn't warm/hot when the card is under load it is a pretty safe bet the pump isn't moving any liquid.

okay but how does that help me? I haven't touched anything to do with overclocking nor do I plan to, it was working fine up until Saturday morning and now my gpu's temp is too high even though I didn't change anything.
