Default CPU temp hits 80C then cools back to 55/60 [memtest]

So I speculate that the no-name Alibaba cooler has a sticky
pump, which only breaks free after the CPU got hot and cooked it?

The pump should still run with a no-CPU error, thus hang it over the
sink with a hose disconnected from the reservoir output (if it's not
presumably a "self-contained" water cooler). Check replacement fluid
types for pump lubricity with a cooling stasis overall consistently
resilient to deteriorated contamination. Or get a cheap CoolerMaster
"Hyper" grapefruit-sized (heat-wicking) model, renowned for kicking
holes through a bottom of the bucket for averaging cost to performance
ratios.
