So I started having this problem last night, the way I can tell its not a faulty motherboard reading is because the computer lags just like it would with a truly overheating processor. The processor is overheating at less than 20% idle, basically not even being used. I havent narrowed down the timeframe it starts to do this during but, as of right now after taking the cooler off the cpu and turning the computer off, its around 35-45C.
Here is my reading from CAM [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Does the BIOS state the same temps?

I'd re apply thermal paste and re-seat cooler.

It's either a false reading, or something isn't seated correctly.

It honestly sounds more like that you've plugged the pump power into the wrong port. If there's a CPU pump port on your motherboard, use it. Also, I'd double check by audio that the pump is actually working. Also also, whilst you're in the BIOS, check the fan curve of that header, it could be on 0%
