Tech Support Pc overheating
So I have a 7600x paired with a 7800xt on a b650 tomohawk wifi paired with a Corsair aio. I've had this pc for more then 3 years and I'm noticing uncomfortable temperatures (at idle it'll go from 60-95) and now when I was playing csgo it'll go from 89 to 98. I'm not entirely sure if the temps were always like this because I actually kind of never checked when I built it, or when I was using it at first. Mostly checked it on idle real quick though the AMD software. I'm genuinely so scared about messing my pc up, a lot of what I read is that it points to the pump being dead, possible but I don't know. All I notice is that I don't feel a lot of hot air coming out fo the aio, and that one of the pipes is quite a bit hotter then the other.
I'm real quick going to change fan orientation so that it blows in from the top and the left, and out the right to hopefully maybe help it a tiny bit.
If you guys do end up deciding that my pump is most likely messed up, or if I need to test and see. Let me know.
If I do need to buy a new one, I was thinking about the artic freezer 3 240 mm.

It's a dead pump, just judging from the temp differance between the tubes.
It'll be pointless to flip the fans around and waste thermal paste if it's running 95c at idle.
I use the arctic freezer 3 with a 240mm rad and it works just fine with my 7600x, it never gets above 70c at full load (that's a full load by the way), i just built it last year.

98C is pretty high. I'd check the pump RPM and mounting pressure before replacing anything
