Dead Pump? (Swiftech MCP355)

[Gomenasai]

So I'm trying to do a custom loop, and as a test, I'm running my components outside of the case to do a quick flush. The pump has worked a few times, in the case. It has also worked before, out of the case. Now I have my components laid out this time... and the pump isn't pumping water... So, anyone have any ideas. Here is a video of what the pump is doing... and I can tell you, that isn't pumping water...

NEVER run a pump without water

maybe if you have any luck you can open the pump and check for defects

and flush it with vinegar

 

good luck

If its DOA then RMA it. Its a good idea to plug a fan or two in to check the PSU is actually on.

I tap the res in the video to show that it is full of water.

If you remove the top off of ANY Swiftech Pump... isn't your warranty void? And the PSU fan does turn on.

Do you have a multimeter to check that it is actually giving out 12V?

 

Is the pump getting hot?

 

That's not a stock swiftech top. Just put the stock one back on, they will have a hard time proving it came off.
