I know the answer to this but want to vet it by some of the folks here....

Last night I playing FF7 Remake
Noticed a bunch of slowdowns and audio hiccups - just assumed it was the nature of the port and thought nothing of it
During a cut scene my computer just shut off
I thought it might be a power outage because of the wind but other devices were working fine
Turned the computer back on and wait for the boot up
Got into Windows and things were very choppy and slow to load
PC shutdown again for no reason
Turned it back on and loaded up HWMonitor and Task Manager
Task Manager showed the CPU (5800X3D) was running at 1.0 - 1.2 GHz and HWMonitor said that the temperatures were hovering at 90 degrees and this was just idle
Tried to load Steam and open a browser and temperatures stayed around 90 degrees but CPU speed dropped down to 0.86 GHz
Ran the AIO Cooler (Arctic Freezer II 360) fan at 100% but it didn't drop the temperatures at all
After about 10 minutes the CPU temperature jumped up to 3.2 GHz and the temperature (core) went to 100 degrees
Opened the case and felt the AIO hoses and one was hot and the other was cold (which I assume is correct)

So based on that, I'm guessing the AIO pump or something related has failed? I don't remember, but I'm pretty sure I should be at around 45-50 degrees at moderate load with an AIO and not at 90-100 degrees. Safe to say it's time to RMA or buy a new one?
