Computer has been running fine. Not OC. I have an h100i cooling my 4790k. Out of no where today it got loud. So i open corsair link and my h100i pump had a red glow around it and the number read 0. It kept getting really loud and then slightly quieter. Restart did not solve. I had just updated my firmware for the program today. Any ideas what happened and am I screwed. 

 

Thanks!

The fact that its still brand new supports my theory even more.

 

 

OR extreme air bubbles. Its weird to say but shut down you pc, disconnect your HDD, boot up and start shaking and tilting your PC around to remove air bubbles.

That CPU temp is high.

 

Your pump speed could be in the bios.

The pump is dying nonetheless and putting out a low RPM so it isnt curlicuing fast enough.

 

No drivers. Same with my H220x, pretty loud on boot.

Yea id say so. It shouldn't suddenly go bad. Email them and roll the RMA process.

Be prepared to whip out a stock cooler, my RMA on my H100i took about two weeks from sending out my old one to receiving the new one.

 

They have an express RMA option, where they ship out the new unit immediately, but they place a deposit on your Credit Card equal to the cost of the new unit and you only get that back when they receive your broken unit
