How can I tell if my system is working?

So my tubes are really hard to see through due to some residue built up. I can't hear my pump at all, but I don't think it was ever noisy. There may be a small chance that the pump isn't actually doing anything lol, but I can't tell from looking at the tubes because they are hard to see through. How can I test my pump without taking everything completely apart or is there no way?

How about replacing that fluid and tubing FIRST, before you damage your PC...

1. If your pump isn't working, your temps should be rising amazingly quick and ridiculously high.

2. They make flow meters/flow indicators. Basically just a little wheel that spins as water goes through it. Go grab one, normally only a couple bucks.

When I go into the BIOS the CPU temp is 30C consistently, which I think is normal, even a good temp for CPU.

Yea, everything is fine then. I unplugged my pump by accident once and it would error before even getting into the bios.
