I think one thing people have to remember though is that full load on IBT / LinX is not what "full load" with games are. If you are maxing out IBT at say 80c which is my personal max, although if the upgrade was worth it, say 4.5 to 5.0 for 5degrees I would do it. 85 would be my absolute thermal limit in ibt/linx for SB.
Anyway as I was trying to say before my rant, people need to realize that IBT and Linx both stress out your cpu harder than ANYTHING else you can toss at your system. I don't care what games you are playing, what videos you are encoding, what kind of multitasking you are doing. You can run 64 copies of WoW on your system and not have temps that IBT gives you.
So just keep in mind, if you are IBT stable but have high temps say in the high 70s or low 80s, your gaming temps can be MUCH MUCH cooler than that.
As long as your cpu temps are fine for what you are doing you will be fine. Thats what you need to focus on.
As far as the OP goes, you need to look into what is causing the high temps. Either the pump failed, it's not seated properly or there is no water in it lol. Something HAS to be wrong.
On air cooling with roughly 1.4 to 1.45 vcore with a hyper 212+ cooler and 2 ultra kaze fans in a push pull I stay under 80c easily. With my ac on it's a cool 68-72c depending on the core, with it off its mid 70s to high 70s which is perfect for me.
During gaming my cpu is extremely cool
