Almost 3 years ago, I built my first PC. All of the components were brand new including a 'Corsair CW-9060025-WW Hydro Series H100i V2 240 mm Extreme Performance All-In-One Liquid CPU Cooler'. At first, my PC was very quiet and the performance was great. I have thoroughly cleaned it and replaced the thermal paste at least a couple of times since the the first installation. Over the last few months, I have noticed my CPU running hotter and my fans getting louder. Naturally, I just assumed these were signs that another deep clean was needed. My PC is very important to me, both for doing work as part of my Computer Science degree and my in free time for playing games. So, I have to transport the poor baby to and from my uni dorm a few times a year which unfortunately means packing it sideways in the original case box. I took my PC home this weekend and intended to give it a clean over the next couple of days. However, I tried using it at home first... and there is a horrendous noise coming from the cooler. The fans are extremely loud and there is an awful grinding/scratching noise coming from the pump. Today, I dismantled part of my PC to give it a good clean and look for any problems around my fans and radiator. I did not remove the pump because I did not bring my thermal paste with me. It is now relatively dust-free and I couldn't find anything that looked wrong...but unfortunately, the awful noises still persist and my CPU is now running at 100 degrees celsius at idle. My system has not shut itself down but obviously, I do not deem it safe enough to leave on since I don't want to risk long term damage to my expensive intel 6700k. The cooler is still within its five year warranty so I have sent a ticket to Corsair and I am waiting for a response. While an exchange would be brilliant, I would really rather not go through the hassle of battling my case for why I should get a new one and waiting who-knows-long to receive a new one while I'm basically stuck without a PC and have coursework deadlines. I'm really hoping anyone might have a suggestion of how I can fix my issue. Thank you ??

Hi All Bit of a weird question. I was thinking of combining the loops of 2 different systems that will likely not be on at the same time. That way I can capitalise on not having to buy 2 separate sets of radiators etc and can hook them up together. I'm not sure how best the pump would handle this situation however, turning on when one system is turned on, off when both systems are off and then on again with the second system is in use. Is it as simple as (wish they weren't molex) connecting a molex splitter to both PSUs and then into the pump? If that's the case, would there be an issue if both of them were powered on at the same time, would it fry the pump by sending through too much electricity? I tried having a look at Paul's Riptide videos and other dual systems (both systems would be high end, not 1 NAS server) but a lot of them aren't having everything go through the same loop. Many thanks!

Wanting to set up a custom water loop for an Asus strix rx5700xt,my question is could I use the fan headers on the gpu since I can set these to GPU temp to run the pwm pump from Corsair and the second header on the gpu to run fans on the rad for this to keep this loop just for the gpu?

Hi everyone. I’ve had a primochill D5 pump for 4.5 years & about a month ago it started making some noises, but maybe for a few seconds at a time & were very subtle so I didn’t do anything about it. Today the pump stopped working completely, it just shut off while I was editing a video & so I took my loop apart & realized it’s slightly out of alignment & a piece of the pump has been rubbing against the side of the pump for a while. I can pop it back into place but when I let go the magnets hold it in it’s wrong position. In the pictures below you can see the white dot is not centered & how it sticks to the wall when I’m not holding it. Anyone have any advice on how to fix it or suggestions? I’m really not interested in buying a new pump especially because I’ve been waiting very patiently for Icelake to build a new PC but I need my current PC in the mean time.

Hey guys, I will need to upgrade my graphics card soon but all the flagship RTX cards (and presumably the upcoming gen too) are quite long at around 292-300mm and my current 1080 is 266. This means I need to free up some space horizontally in the case (either by going for a smaller reservoir tube and moving the reservoir up or down so it doesn't obstruct the gpu or separating the pump from the res and hiding it the lower compartment next to the psu or both). Any ideas how that separation would work cuz I can't really imagine it myself.. **n.b-> Yes I can fit the gpu in the lowest slot but since I'm going for air-cooled cards again I don't want to suffocate it being so close to the metal divider under it. Any further ideas how to solve this are appreciated! Cheers

Hi, So I have the Gigabyte X570-i Aorus pro wifi motherboard, and the Corsair H60 AIO. The mobo has no dedicated pump header, and only has a CPU fan header, and one Sys-fan header. I have two splitters, and initially connected the pump and radiator fan to the CPU fan header; then the two case fans to the Sys-fan header. However, my radiator fan would wildy keep going from low RPM to high RPM no matter what I was doing on my PC at the time. So, I was wondering what is the better/preferred config for this 2 case fans, 1 pump, and 1 radiator fan conundrum I seem to be having. This is my first build, and here is everything I have: PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor $189.99 @ Amazon CPU Cooler Corsair H60 (2018) 57.2 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler $69.98 @ Amazon Motherboard Gigabyte X570 I AORUS PRO WIFI Mini ITX AM4 Motherboard $219.00 @ B&H Memory G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 Memory $179.99 @ Newegg Storage Corsair Force MP500 120 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive $57.67 @ Amazon Storage Samsung 970 Evo 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive $168.99 @ Amazon Video Card MSI GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB VENTUS OC Video Card $509.99 @ B&H Case NZXT H210 Mini ITX Tower Case $79.98 @ Amazon Power Supply Corsair RM (2019) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply $119.99 @ Best Buy Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total $1595.58 Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-01-21 05:48 EST-0500 Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Hi. So since I built my loop about 3 months ago, I have noticed some slight brownish tinge to the flex tube next to my pump. I used quality liquid from EKWB. I read that it could be some lube from the gaskets? Anyway, I didn't really pay attention to it unitll this evening when I heard a strange deeper whirring than usual and some occasional popping, Now there is a burnt smell, the water is not flowing, and the pump is far to hot to touch. I presume the pump died due to a PSU failure, hence the popping and extreme heat on the pump. Obviously I need to replace the items. As you can see in the pics the tubing next to the pump is very gunky looking, and there appears to be a residue coating the resevoir as well. Why is this? Was this a failure waiting to happen? I also do not have much ventilation near the pump. Should I put an additional fan near the pump?

I purchased the EK alu watercooling kit, and I would like to upgrade the pump for the system, but I am finding difficulty finding any information as to what the pumps are made of. Most vendors do not list the composition of their pump, but I was wondering if anyone on the forum would know. The reason why I am upgrading is that air gets trapped in one of the radiators at the end of the loop because there is not a enough water flowing through towards the end of the loop. If anyone has any helpful recommendations please list them below.

Hi all! I am new to this forum, but every time I search for knowledge about PC systems there’s a topic on the LTT forums to help. And I need help. I tried to plunge into watercooling years ago, but didn’t get far. Now with all the new stuff coming out I dug out all my components from 10 years ago. Among these are an Aquacomputer Aquastream XT Ultra - never used so I was hoping it would’ve worked just as good as a brand new. Alas when filling a small test loop, connecting the molex connector and jumping the PSU the pump gives a thump and the PSU turns off. I then have to wait for a couple of seconds before I can turn on the PSU again. To me it sounds as if the pump’s starting current is too much for the PSU to handle, but I just don’t understand it - it’s a Corsair HX1000W. Granted this PSU is also 10 years old, but I haven’t tortured it and I have tested it with my new motherboard, Ryzen 3800X and so on without a problem. So it must be an issue between pump and PSU, but I can’t understand what. I know it’s an exotic pump and a old PSU, but I hope that there are some bright minds here that can shine a light on my problem! Thanks!

So my i needed 1 more case fan to plug but the connectors of my mobo is full. I found out that I can connect my pump through sata? I think? And plugged the case fan to the AIO connector. Is that okay? Mobo is B450 I Strix, AIO is ID Cooling X240 Auraflow

Finished my pc and so far looks good, I end up having a cpu heating problem. I don’t know how to control my pump and my cpu is getting hot.

Ok so I recently had a temps rise from 30C to 97C which caused PC to crash and become unusable. I figured out the problem was my Corsair H115I Cpu cooler.. I decided to do some digging around and I figured out how to take it apart and put it all back together. My question is this. Can you purchase a replacement block and pump to just connect to the tubing and radiator for Corsair products and if so.. where? I want to see if I can Frankenstein this thing and get it working again for kicks. I appreciate any help! -
Hey guys, so I have a z370-i strix mobo that has a 4 pin pump fan header that runs at 100% by design. I want to slow the pump down a little for noise and longevity but the other 2 headers are being used by 6x 140mm fans. My question is can I put a Noctua PWM low noise adapter on the pump? Would that cause any damage to the pump? (Using EKWB PWM pump res combo) Thanks!

2 years ago, I installed a custom loop into my computer. The pump I am currently using is an alphacool VPP655 pwm model. When not hooked up to a fan header, it goes at roughly ~30% speed. It is now moving at a trickle pace. Does this mean my pump is dying, or could it be something else?

Hi guys, So i recently purchased an installed a CoolerMaster Master Liquid ML240 RGB a week back. Yesterday while running the Intel XTU benchmark, i heard a screeching sounds coming from the inside the case. When i observed, it appears to be coming from the pump area of the AIO. The sound feels like a screeching kind, like a metallic sound, like from a mechanical device I was doing some reading online and read that it could be due to air bubbles in the system - but it didnt sound like gurgling sound i have read about. Could it be the air bubbles itself?
-
So I've just installed my first water cooling loop and it's loud as heck, I assume it because my pump is stuck at high, its PWM but I can't find any software that will allow me to fix it and my bios won't let me alter the curve either. I've tried Speedfan but my mobo isn't listed as supported, I've tried installing ASUS fan controlling software but there is something wrong with the installation and it never installs properly.

Seemed this topic is dead, how could it be? No one is looking for water pumps cooling? Right now i'm choosing between Cytec 12v and Swiftech MCP655TM. I found only some good information here, but i'd like to know much more of that. Can anyone help me too choose best of them?

Hi, I’m currently working on a new pc and at the moment I’m right there to fill the system up with liquid. The pump doesn’t seems to run. I might connect the pump to the wrong place. The molex connects straight to the 6pin psu. The other cable pwm i did connect it to CHA_FAN2. It’s possible that it goes to somewhere else.

First of all sory for my english. ok i have 2 broken 240 aio's and i want to build a cheap costum loop (i will take the rads and cpu blocks from the aio) and i need a cheap pump i was thinking (https://www.ebay.com/itm/PC-Water-Cooling-System-Circulating-Pump-Kits-with-Water-Tank-G1-4-650L-h-DC12V/202387351513?hash=item2f1f39e7d9:g:hpAAAOSwAV5bYCjv) or (https://www.ebay.com/itm/SC-300T-12V-ultra-quiet-Water-Pump-Set-For-PC-CPU-Liquid-Water-Cooling-System/192357955736?epid=6008881266&hash=item2cc96d7898:g:3cwAAOSwa2lZiFBr) what do u think

so i have a little issue. let me explain my build 1st. I have a H110 watercooler with 2 NF-A14PWM fans on it a NF-A14FLX fan as an exhaust for the case. and a 200mm fan from coolermaster as an intake. I have a few fan-connectors on my motherboard. one labeled cpu_fan, one labeled pwr_fan and a sys_fan_1 and a sys_fan_2 now which fans should i plug into which connector? should I plug the pump from the watercooler into the cpu_fan connector or the 2 fans that are mounted on top of the water cooler? also what's bothering me the most the NF-A14FLX which is plugged into the system_fan_1 connector with a low noise adapter which is supposed to reduce the rpm from the default speed of 1200RPM to 1050RPM, is actually running at 1500RPM (which as far as I understand it is faster than it's supposed to be able to run) - any ideas what might cause that and how to fix it so it runs slower and quieter? This is the motherboard I am using if that helps at all: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-Z68XP-UD3-rev-13#ov edit: wasn't sure where to post this, since the issue kind of involves liquid cooling, but also just regular old fans.

Hello there... So, I am thinking of using a Kraken Z63 simple by complete or embellish my setup, so I can have the Omen logo displaying on it... Here's the thing, since my case doesnt allow 140mm fans, I was thinking of swaping the Z53 pump with the one that comes with the Z63, so I can end up with the custom display screen on the 240mm radiator (also thinking of cutting the tubes a little bit)... Question is, has anyone ever done something similar? The connectons of the tubes seem to be pratical identical.

Hi I am just getting into custom water cooling and I plan on purchasing this kit https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-classic-kit-p360-d-rgb. I noticed that the pump included only has a flow rate of 250 L/h and this seems low relative to other pumps on the market. I am just wondering how important is the flow rate and what the minimum flow rate that I should be looking for if I was to add a GPU waterblock and another 240 rad to this kit. Thanks in advance and let me know if I have missed any relevant information.

I am trying to build my reservoir/pump combo into a desk currently but I've noticed that i get a bubble sound coming from the inlet/outlet ports when mounted horizontally with the inlet/outlet facing up and the filling of the reservoir is awful in this orientation but i cannot fix the horizontal placement. I was wondering if there is a d5 vario cap that i can use with the res to help fix the air gap being created over time with evaporation or should i somehow try to fix the air gap created by adding a slight incline to the reservoir...either way filling the res is terrible i cant get rid of the air. I am thinking of going with a pump cap: https://www.newegg.com/p/13C-00NK-00530?Item=9SIARFABZ44141&Description=d5 pump top&cm_re=d5_pump top-_-9SIARFABZ44141-_-Product and then capping the res with a single inlet and outlet so the reservoir is just that...storage and i shouldn't have to worry about air gaps as long as the reservoir never falls below 50% but also making it maybe a little easier to fill? I am currently struggling with the res/pump combo: https://www.xs-pc.com/discontinued-eol/d5-photon-270-reservoirpump-combo as they use gravity to keep water in the pump and only really good at a vertical mounting strategy. This is my first time trying anything like this and I'm confused as to how i can go about solving the air bubbles issue in the pump/res itself. Any help would be much appreciated. I've been browsing a few retailers for d5 caps but there seems to be a lack of info on what caps will fit, do all d5 pumps fit the same harness mechanism. Specifically D5 vario pump fitting into a 3rd party pump cap that might be labeled as XXXX(brand_name) d5 pump cap: https://www.amazon.com/Monsoon-MMRS-MMRS-TRP-Pump-White/dp/B01LWVM3LR/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1PYUO3A5JTJT1&dchild=1&keywords=acrylic+top+for+d5&qid=1598894269&s=electronics&sprefix=acry%2Celectronics%2C215&sr=1-1 https://www.amazon.com/Alphacool-13188-Eisdecke-D5-top/dp/B019DU2A3W/ref=sr_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=d5%2Bpump%2Btop&qid=1598893541&sr=8-9&th=1 P.S it is not finished yet i was just testing components for leaks and such before i finalize the wire management and painting.

Hey there. Quick question regarding EK pumps and reservoirs. I have a EK D5 revo pump and reservoir combo. Im looking to get an EK quantum kinetic 360 reservoir. Will I be able to remove the pump from my current reservoir and install it to the kinetic reservoir? thanks

As the title stated, I know nothing. But, I have a Cooler Master Liquid Lite liquid cooler for my CPU and in the BIOS I can't find any data for the pump's RPM and I have no control over it in the BIOS. My issue isn't necessarily that I need the control over it (although I would like to have it), my concern is whether or not the pump and liquid cooling is actually working. From looking in my PC I can see the fans the pump is connected to are in fact powered and running so whatever the case I know the fans are at least working and it is getting power. What I believe the issue to be is that the liquid cooler is potentially plugged into the wrong port with my evidence being that in the picture shown with the post is has a cable coming from the CPU Cooling going straight into the CPU_FAN slot rather than the AIO_PUMP slot. What I need to know is, is this correct and the solution is simply just switching the cable to the other port or is there more to it that I'm not seeing, understand, or aren't aware of. I would also like to know more about the potential maintenance of liquid cooling and what I need to keep an eye on to avoid future issues and potential malfunctions and what to do to avoid them.
