Either the AIO is bad or the thermal paste needs redoing. What cooling is used?
Looks like a stock air cooler in first video above. Can try doing a repaste of thermal paste or if that fails. Getting a better air cool;er.

Okay that is quite extreme. I was wrong.
Is the cooler actually making contact with the cpu
Even if your fan weren't working or there wasn't any paste I wouldn't imagine it would get to 100c before even entering the bios on startup

upbeat sail

yea its probably at 100 cause its not centered
also this guys gpu is half supported @glossy kindle
glossy kindle
If its not centered its probably doesn't have the correct mounting hardware and isn't making good contact
I would recommend buying a new cooler, I can give you a recommendation if you give me a price.

That is some pretty severe sag. Try to get something to prop it up a bit at the end. It could be Legos for I care.
Sag can kill a card, this is far more prominent on triple+ slot coolers.
