This listing was cut off as the window was not long enough to capture in one snapshot all of the sensors. You did manage to get the two I was looking for but I'm not sure if that helps as I really need to see the CPU and the air flows together as the same time.
Lets assume you took them close enough together. Then we need to do some cleaning of dust and also inspect the heatsink for coolant leakage (do this first). Do you see any staining or white powder caked around the tube and the logic board where it crosses.

You’ll need to get a small soft bristle pain brush to scrub the surfaces to loosen the debris from the logicboard, case and fans. Then use a can of can’ed air to blow it away with short bursts.

You’ll need to get a small soft bristle paint brush to scrub the surfaces to loosen the debris from the logic board, case and fans. Then use a can of can’ed air to blow it away with short bursts.
If you are upto it I would clean the old thermal paste and apply a fresh coat of a good quality paste. Remember! its not the quantity its the placement that matters! You want the paste on the black die part not the green base or on the other SMT devices around the chip die. I prefer [product|IF179-010] paste and I also use the [product|IF179-023] as well. Here’s a basic guide on how to clean and apply a fresh coat [guide|744]
