I bought my pc used. And have always kinda noticed my cpu aio coolent (corsair h100i) hitting 60c when playing games. I've ignored it as I haven't played games much till recently. But not taking a closer look. My rear fan has some beefier blades and the two front ones are way more airflow. It seems backwards to me since the front of the case doesn't have a lot of opening and the psu bay is right behind the bottom fan. Should I get a noctua airflow for the back and static pressures for the front?
Edit: Forgot to mention my room's ambient temp is 21c
Also the aio itself is only a year old. And pump speed when gaming is around 2400 rpm

The pump speed doesn't mean much, the rpm is not actually related to how hard the pump is workimg. The pump is pretending to be a fan and feeding your motherboard an rpm number so that if it dies, your motherboard thinks there's no cooling and slows down your cpu or shuts down the computer.
I'm not sure what the cooler going into failsafe entails, but you should do some testing to see what temperature and speed your cpu is at under load. If your cpu throttles at all due to heat, certainly that's an issue. Otherwise I wouldn't be worried about it.
