Well, it looks like you have started to make some progress, sort of.
You first reseated the cpu and had improved results but still have a problem with heat.
Yes, we are only looking for temp change improvements with the bios fan setting adjustment. Did you notice any difference at all between pre bios fan setting change and after the bios change was made?
I have read that if a pump is plugged into a mobo header and the fan settings are restricted with temps (smart fan), it can affect the speed at which the pump runs. Again, IDK if this is a valid possibility or not but it was an easy check compared to what you are going through. If you saw no change with the bios fan settings, you should be able to set them back like they were.
With the improvement that you saw after reseating the heatsink, but before the bios fan setting change, it appears that is likely where the problem is. A pump failure would likely have resulted in the same temps (almost immediately) without any improvement. If you went to 100c in 60 seconds initially and it now takes 5 minutes after the heatsink reseat, I would probably focus on the heatsink install (again) since that did show the best signs of improvement.
I am not trying to be insulting but sometimes it's the easy stuff that gets overlooked- both radiator fans are blowing in the same direction (push/pull), yes?
