Posted May 16, 2016 Hello. I purchased an H100 back in 2012 and it ran fine for me. I thought the temperature was always a bit higher than other people's, but I had my old 2600k overclocked, so I wasn't sure if it was just the chip or the cooler. I recently upgraded to an i7 6700k and installed my H100 again (with Arctic Silver thermal paste). I overclocked it slightly to 4.0 GHz and now I check the temperature, which jumps to 97c under full load. 93-97c typically. When it's not under load, it tends to jump from ~35c idle to 50c, just when I open a new tab in Chrome, or when I open a software. I cannot hear the pump on my H100 at all. Not even with all fans turned off (using my installed fan controller). There is no noticeable difference between stage 1 or stage 3. Temperature remains the same on stage 1 and stage 3 (pump power I guess?). Could it be the pump in my H100? Since it pretty much happened to both my i7 2600k and my new i7 6700k, I'm willing to put my bet on the pump. Also fun fact: Even when I turn my fans completely off and the pump on 1, it's the exact same temperature as pump on 3 and full power on my Corsair SP fans.

I cannot feel anything nor hear it pump. Do you think a dead pump is able to keep my system running though?

Posted May 16, 2016 Rip pump if the pump was alive with no dead fans (which was my situation for a month), with an OCed 3570k@4.2Ghz, it never went above 80c with Prime95 (yes, there was only one fan blowing air through out the case which was the solo SP120 on the h75 rad for my GPU , my fan controller died and had no choice but to run it almost fanless and it work surprisingly well ) Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here... What? As I said, there seriously is nothing here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no and no, if it was the fans (stated in my post above) then probably but without that pump, no heat is being moved away from the CPU Looking at my signature are we now?

Do you think a dead pump is able to keep my system running though? well you pretty much already answered that has your system been running ? if so then hurrray your fine but gonna get super high temps, if it overheats constantly then no.. either way i highly suggest a new cooler, or putting the stock one on if you have it Spoiler The Ninja (current gaming pc) Case- h440 red/black cpu- i5-4690k@ 4.3ghz cooler- coolermaster hyper 212 evo mobo- Gigabyte z97x-sli ram- adata xpg v.1 2x4gb 1600mhz gpu- asus strix gtx 970 hdd- wd blue 1tb ssd- kingston hyperx savage 240gb psu- evga 600b peripherals: mouse- razer death adder 2013 keyboard- corsair k70 with chery mx-reds headset- HyperX Cloud 2 my laptop- toshiba satelite p850, cpu- i7-3630qm ram- 8gb 1600mhz hdd- 1tb 5400rpm gpu- Nvidia gt630m 2gb did you know we have a gun thread ? well we do and a car thread !

It probably is the pump, if it was the fans that are dead with the pump running then it could be fine but no pump=most of the heat isn't even going to the rad Looking at my signature are we now?

Yeah I kinda did, but I've never talked to anyone with a broken pump before, so I'm not really sure, if the water is cool enough to cool it down, if the pump doesn't work at all. 1 minute ago, Mr.Meerkat said: no, installing it to the top is good as heat travels upwards but with no pump, only the heat convected is moved to the rad to dissipate which is not fast enough It probably is the pump, if it was the fans that are dead with the pump running then it could be fine but no pump=most of the heat isn't even going to the rad Yeah that's true.

Posted May 16, 2016 Yep, I'd shove the stock on for the time being if you kept it (which you should). Return it on warranty if you can. A lack of coolant or a bad pump can usually get the warranty.

You could probably Amazon a simple air non-stock to do the job, it will do the trick until that point. Do you have Prime?

The temperature is not a problem for me right now, so I guess I'll just have to wait before I send it in. They do offer 5 years warranty, which is quite nice to be honest.
