Hi there,
Last night my PC was getting hot and I found out that my CPU fan was not running at all. Replaced that with Corsair one and now everything on the inside is cool. However, my CPU on idle reports temps of 90C+ with basically nothing open. I used CoreTemp software and the BIOS both reporting same temps. Also, since changing that fan, PC turns on and everything but seems slow on opening basic windows like My PC, tabs in browsers.... CPU is not overclocked. Any ideas?

Specs:
i7-7770k
z270 gaming pro MB
32GB RAM
SSD + HDD
GTX1080Ti
650 gold evga PS
 
If you're using a Corsair all-in-one water cooler, then it means the pump likely isn't working. Make sure you've connected the header for the pump. The other possibility is the cooler is not mounted correctly and isn't making contact with the CPU. If everything is connected and mounted correctly, then the pump is dead and you'll have to RMA it.

The cooling is - Asetek 550LC 120mm Liquid Cooling CPU Cooler. I will check the connections later and update the post. The Corsair ML series 120mm is just the FAN I bought yesterday from bestbuy.
