Do you have a different ( stock) cooler you can check it out with. My first guess if nothing else had changed would be a failure with the AC freezer, just make sure it's fan is cycling up as it should. May have developed a leak in one of the heat pipes.

1. Perhaps the heatsink compound has dried out over time and is now insulating rather than conducting heat from cpu to the cooler.
2. I never really got to where I liked the Freezer 7 as it was a task to get it to lock-down straight onto the top of cpu and if you moved the case the clamping pressure was weak and the cpu cooler could shift. Have you moved the case receently?

Yea, my first thought was take it off and reapply new compound and put it back on.
