H100i troubleshooting.

Feyris · April 29, 2015

Hey there!

Yesterday I swapping everything over too a new case and once I'd finished I started to have problems with the CPU heat, it was hitting up to 80c while in the BIOS.

At first I presumed that my H110i's pump had just died so I started poking around in the BIOS and I noticed that it was still showing the fan header that the pump was plugged into was running at about 2200rmp which is what the pump usually runs at.

I managed to get into windows and have a look at Corsair link to see what was going on and it was showing the pump as not running. It was also not letting me change the colour of the LED inside the pump so I'm not sure if it's just the pump failing, the whole block or I've just done something wrong.

I've never had a problem with it before, and this isn't the first time it's been completely taken out and cleaned.

Any suggestions to what's causing my problem?

Thanks a bunch!

Is it mounted properly? It's strange for the BIOS to show the pump as running, but Corsair link almost never works properly for me so I wouldn't be surprised if it said my pump wasn't running.

Well I suppose the mounting parts on the motherboard could have loosened up when I was moving the motherboard into the new case. I didn't even think to check to be honest I thought it would be fine.
