H110iGT broken pump?

[Epicwhale]

Is there a way to figure out if my pump is broken?

I've had this cooler for over a year now running perfectly letting me overclock my i5 6600k to 4.5ghz and perfect temps and now it's overheating constantly so I think something is up.

it idles around 70c and when I run a cpu stress test it quickly goes up to 90c then 100c and shutsdown. 1 of the tubes gets extremely hot and the other is pretty cold. the radiator is icey cold too even when the cpu is at 90c.

on the Corsair Link 4 software you can change the pump RPM between 'quiet' and 'performance' I can hear a noise when I change them as in it gets louder during performance so that makes me think the pump IS working.. 

also changing the 2 fans speed from 800rpm to 2000rpm makes absolutetly no difference to the temps.

pls save me it's at 

 

this is running prime95 for 30 seconds

this is what it used to be like from a thread I posted over a year ago:

read my signature and make sure that is not your issue first.

 

What are the water temps during idle and after 15+min at load (if you can do that safely)?

 

It sounds like it's probably a poor mount or bad pump. The tubes are very stiff so getting a flush mount when they're bent is almost impossible. Take the cooler out of the case, replace the paste and remount it carefully and evenly to the CPU.

Idk wtf is even happening anymore. I think it was the cpu. It started booting my pc and being locked to 800mhz even in the bios and eventually it wouldn't even turn on anymore (now) so I guess I've got a dead i5 6600k which is only a year old... Pc won't give me any beeps even with just cpu and psu plugged in.. gg

Ignore what I previously said - after about 1 minute it goes up to 80c and then starts to go funny.. it hit 82c then slowly started to crawl down to 79.. then instantly jumped up to 86c so I stopped testing... changing fan speeds seems to do nothing at all to the temperatures.

That are the water temps?

 

did you read my signature?

yes I read through your signature. that's the CPU temp, how do i measure the water temp? because when it's 90c one of the tubes is too hot to hold so I figured the water is that temp too. I also found out that when it's about 90c and I shake the tubes for 10 seconds the temperature instantly drops down to 40-50c...

Water temp is labeled as "h110i temp" in Corsair link.

 

Still sounds like a bad pump and you need to RMA.

One year seems to me to be about how long these pumps last, in your case I'd guess a burnt out impeller, or a blockage in the pipe. Depending on the local return policy I'd recommend contacting the retailer first (although after a year it is unlikely) Corsair if they do not have a local return policy in your area will ask you to ship your cooler to them in taiwan. They will require you to pay for this when first contacting them. My advice is to tell them where to go. When you detail how much shipping will cost they will occasionally send you a prepaid shipping label.
