Cons

  • Pump on kraken might have failed. I assume its 6 years old?
  • 70c in idle it's too much and also in full load 90c also too much.
  • The 30-40C delta between idle temp and liquid temp tells you there is either an air bubble or mounting pressure issue.
  • 5800X is one of the hotter running chip in the AM4 family, but even so, with a 240mm AIO, it shouldn't be that high during idle.
  • I think My kraken x63 cooler is failing on me. [...] My pc of 4years just randomly started to give me a cpu overheating alert and I suspect it to be my cooler failing.

Either, AIO incorrectly reinstalled or AIO went bad.
