seriously? i finally got the kraken x62 for my i7 8700k yesterday, built it up, fired it up. didn’t work. temps went high as 90c... okay, changed the 3 pin from cpu fan to cpu opt and it started working. played some red dead redemption 2 with low 40c temps and went to sleep happy. 

 

today i fired my pc up again and boom, the kraken isnt working anymore, temps rise high 85+ idle and no cpu opt RPM detected in bios. i didnt touch a thing and it went out.

 

i have tried changing the wiring to full mobo setup with fans on mobo & pump on  aio pump connector, the guide style setup with the additional connectors. plugged everything out and back in.. including usb & the pump wiring. not working. even shaked the system like some guides suggest. nothing.

 

lights come on and the fans spin but the pump aint doing anything..

 

3 hours of use and its dead.. went more to install it than it lasted, well not gonna grab another NZXT product thats for sure after i read all the similiar horror stories online. seems like every second pump is dead from the factory.

happened to me also with the supplied smart device USB cable in the h700i --one of the wires came out of the plug
