    I hope that's 90F, not 90C! :eek:

    If its the latter check software temps pronto. If CoreTemp, Speedfan etc. all differ from the hardware reading you have a bust sensor on the WC display panel...

    If all readings agree, you're in trouble. Immediately remove the cooler, reapply thermal paste and reassemble, making sure to fit the CPU cooler retention mechanism correctly! Check temps again. If its a discrete WC setup you've done something horribly wrong and its time to start over. If the temps are still high and you're using a CoolIT or similar (those things have a temp display) those integrated CPU watercoolers aren't user-servicable and its RMA time :(
