I just found my PC in an off state, and turned it back on only for it to complain (via Asus AI suite) that the CPU temp is over 70 deg and rising.
I opened it up, blow out the small amount of dust, and powered it back up. This time BIOS was complaining about over CPU over temp but I could see the extractor fan on the radiator was turning ok, and powered off. This time left it for 10 mins to cool down.
Powered on again, temps are 50 deg and rising. AI suite says that CHA_FAN3 (where pump is connected) is at 0 RPM. I figured the pump must not be working, and powered off to move it to another fan connector (went for CPU_OPT as it was nearest).
Left it to cool, and powered back on. Temp is 50+ deg and rising, and CPU_OPT is at 0 RPM.
Guessing that the pump has died, I've raised an RMA to PCS for replacement.
The cooler is Corsair H60 Hydro series
