OK. I would support your guess. Makes the most sense. And, if the fan is
changing speed, the heat logic works. Reads like new heatsink to me.

Is the heatsink free-standing, or, does it require a physical connection

Odd that the cpu would/could crater in some fashion just to start
overheating.
You really do find some strange problems..... LOL!
I see ALL the strange problems. :) It's a heatsink pad that screws onto
the motherboard with a pressure connection to the CPU - on top of the pad
is a pipe that moves off about 3.5 inches to the side of the case with a
fan beside it that blows air across the vanes to cool the coolant liquid
inside. So it's possible the thing developed a leak and emptied.
