CPU too hot error

[DeNo]

Hello All,

I just built my new PC for photo editing. The specs are as follow :

Intel i7 5820K

Asus X99 Pro3.1 Motherboard

Corsair H100GTX cooler

32gigs of G-Sill Ripjaws 2800

Intel 750 PCIe NVME Drive

Asus GeForce 750Ti

WD Black 2 TB for storage

Corsair 780T 

 

I turned it on and when the Bios started, the temp of the PC shot up to 83 degrees instantly. IT stopped for a second at that point. I enabled the XMP profile 1 and tried to save. It shut down and when it came back on it said the overclock failed. Mind you, it is only seeing the memory as 2133. I hadn't even tried to OC the CPU. Now, when I tried to turn it back on, I get the message that its too hot. I was able to look at the Bios again (before it shut off) and it was reading 97 degrees. Then it cut off. I have a Corsair AF140 Exhaust fan at the back, 2 corsair SP120s on top and bottom of the radiator (intake push pull) , and 2 AF140 at the front of the case as intakes as well. Can anyone tell me what the issue could be ? I can't get the temp down and it wont stay on for longer than about a minute before it shuts itself off.

Is the pump plugged in and if so, can you hear it running?

Did you apply thermal paste to your cpu block? Is your CPU block even on the CPU? Is there coolant inside the cooler?

First, make sure the pump is going, second, make sure the fans are going, third, remount the cooler, forth, make sure theres thermal paste, 6th. send the cooler in for RMA if it doesn't work(Thats my suggestion).

Take a picture of the inside of your case and post it.

Thanks for the welcome and advise. 

I am new to this water cooling closed loop system So I have no idea as to how to check if the pump is working or not. The fans are all going. I remounted the cooler like 4 times. I actually RMAd the board as I was typing this

Go down to attach files, click "choose Files" - attach the photo

it will upload, then you can place it in the post or leave it as an attachment either is fine.

It is plugged in. The corsair logo is lit up on the block. I don't know what it's supposed to sound like when it's running though.

The unit came with pre-applied paste. It is most certainly on the block. And when I move it around, I did hear the water inside the unit.

Do you feel vibration on the tubes?

Do you feel vibration on the tubes?

I didn't. I turned it off last night. I will take it out again today and try it once again. I will try shaking it and then reapplying to the cpu. I already started a return to Amazon, just in case this doesn't work.
