One of the hoses on the H100i running from the CPU to the fans at the top of the case was considerably warmer than the other one.
I'm certainly not an expert on cooling or overclocking, but why would you liquid cool a non-overclocked CPU?

It's only been doing this the past few days and the overheating error popped up for the first time today, so whatever the problem is I think I caught it early.
Maybe. You've got to do some "chicken or the egg" analysis - is there, maybe a damaged component in the system allowing the CPU to overheat - or is the problem in the CPU iteself?
It may not be the cooling solution -

I think that's how coolers are supposed to work - take the hot away, bring the cool in - I could be wrong about that, though.

It's a closed system, not like I went with a full loop. Just decided to give it a shot, had always used fans for CPUs before.

Yeah, I suppose it was just how hot the hose was that surprised me. And the other fan wasn't exactly cool, it was a little warm to the touch too but yeah, I'm pretty sure you're right.
It's still running around 50 degrees. I've only ever noticed performance hits while playing The Witcher 3 for a long time but that shouldn't be enough to cause the temp spike I saw.
