Hey guys,

My problem is when I turn on my computer my corsair H100i V2 fans are spinning at 6000 rpm and are not detected on my computer + my CPU temp is going above 80 degrees. What should i do?

 

MTB: Asus Maximus VIII Hero

CPU:i7-6700K

CPU cooler: Corsair H100i v2

Shut down your PC. Remove the CPU pump block, clean off the old thermal paste, put new thermal paste on, reinstall the pump block being careful to do everything correctly, and turn the PC on. Check temps then.

If that didn't work, feel the pump block while the PC is on. Is the pump running, vibrating, making noise? If it's not doing any of those things, return the cooler.

Are they really spinning at 6000 rpm? What fans do you have ?

1. Are you running AIDA64 or HWinfo? You need to turn off monitoring for the AIO if you are. In ADIA go to "stability" and check "Corsair link sensor support" and uncheck "Asetek LC sensor support". If you use HWinfo just disable monitoring for anything related to the AIO. If you don't do this the two programs will fight each other for control and the cooler will have no idea what to do. Corsair continues to refuse to use the industry standard on their program so you have to make sure no other programs are attempting to communicate with the AIO. I love their aesthetics and have had good luck with their products (just look how many Corsair products I have in my build) but whoever made the software did a terrible job and for some reason Corsair refuses to correct the mistakes they made. There are several great independent software developers in the Corsair forums that gave them all the info they need to fix this but they just refuse to implement it despite the community begging them to do so. You can test for software interference by temporarily setting the fan speed on the AIO to 100% using Link, if the speeds fluctuate up and down randomly and can't maintain a constant speed then you have a software conflict, if not you should be fine.

 

2. Did you mount it in the case first or mount the block on the cpu first? If you mounted it in the case first then take the rad out of the case and take the block off the cpu. Put new paste on and mount the block on the CPU first. Then you can mount the rad in the case, if you do it the other way around the stiff tubes will make it almost impossible to get a flush mount and you'll get bad cooling. Trust me this makes a huge difference (~20C difference for me).

Having issues with a Corsair AIO? Possible fix here:

Spoiler

Are you getting weird fan behavior, speed fluctuations, and/or other issues with Link?

Are you running AIDA64, HWinfo, CAM, or HWmonitor? (ASUS suite & other monitoring software often have the same issue.)

Corsair Link has problems with some monitoring software so you may have to change some settings to get them to work smoothly.

-For AIDA64: First make sure you have the newest update installed, then, go to Preferences>Stability and make sure the "Corsair Link sensor support" box is checked and make sure the "Asetek LC sensor support" box is UNchecked.

-For HWinfo: manually disable all monitoring of the AIO sensors/components.

-For others: Disable any monitoring of Corsair AIO sensors.

That should fix the fan issue for some Corsair AIOs (H80i GT/v2, H110i GTX/H115i, H100i GTX and others made by Asetek). The problem is bad coding in Link that fights for AIO control with other programs. You can test if this worked by setting the fan speed in Link to 100%, if it doesn't fluctuate you are set and can change the curve to whatever. If that doesn't work or you're still having other issues then you probably still have a monitoring software interfering with the AIO/Link communications, find what it is and disable it.
