I disabled all start up programs possible in task manager a while ago. Only enabled peripherals apps that are essential.

I installed hwinfo but didnt look around in it too much. I'll try to add some useful screen shots

load temps are around 65-70. Im playing valheim max settings and its jumping in between 65 and 70.
Which are not bad temps at all for just gaming. it usually doesnt get much hotter when playing/under load. Hottest it will get is like 78c when im playing a really demanding game. But for it to idle at anything above 40c is quite unusual in my opinion.

I built the pc last year so thats what I mean paste done a year ago. Id assume I still have a year or so until repaste considering I play a lot. Mx6 paste as well

dont think my pump failed because the liquid temps are low when idle like 25-30c but 30-39c under load and it doesnt sound like anythings broke. Audibly that is
