Ensure that your pump is actually working and if your system has options for pump control what your current setting is.
To help us help you - please provide as much information about your system and the problem as possible.

Go into your bios and check what speed the PUMP is running at if at all.

you don't plug your pump into your cpu fan at all. It needs 100% power all the time and should be around this 4438 RPM - mine at idle 13 °C (55 °F)

Make sure you don't over use the thermal paste. Using too much can make the CPU overheat.
If you use a water cooler, check for dust in the heatsink (make sure to remove the fan and check for dust there as well).

Have you placed the cables so air flow in the case is good?
Place the cables along the case sides or behind the motherboard (not possible in all cases).

Can you post a screenshot of Hardware Monitor (CPUID app)?
