Hey guys, left my computer on all day and came back to this:

https://youtu.be/FlivdAKoL-o

My graphics card was at 85° when I got home, I turned it off and left it for a while and turned it back on to find this.

My cooler is an EK MLC Phoenix unit with an EK MLC Vega block and a 140mm radiator/pump/resivoir combo. I believe the pump is a DDC for memory.

Before this the computer was absolutely silent, with the fan turning slowly at load, and off completely at idle.

Resivoir is around half full, do I just fill it up more (I don't have any ek cryofuel handy), or is the unit faulty? I've had it for around a month.

If I've said something wrong, please correct me

im fairly certain that the pump is not suposed to made those noises, the pump might have gotten an air bubble in it so try to get that out by making sure its at the bottom of the loop and giving it a shake

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

I dont hear anythign from the pump, all i see and hear is the fan catching on somthing as it spins down and eventualy stops.

 

Perhaps your fan is simply broken, hence the high temps.
