H220 pump possibly died?

themuffinman · January 4, 2014

Hey, so after about a week of not using my computer, i powered it on to a strange surprise today; CPU Fan Error. I was seriously confused because i saw all my fans are spinning fine. So i went into bios and checked it out and i saw that none of my fans were recognized. Also, my CPU was running at about 50c, when normally i get about 30~32. I really don't know what to make of this

My specs are :
MB: z87 Sabertooth

CPU: i7 4770k

Cooler: H220 w/ stock fans

PSU: corsair ax760
2 x Silverstone AP140

1 x Silverstone AP120

I'm not exactly sure on how to check if its the pump thats the problem or not. Right now I have all my fans connected to the H220 PWM splitter included. Thank you in advance for your help everyone!

You may have burned out the fan splitter, try pump straight to cpu and a rad fan as a case fan and if it works well get a new fan splitter.

Okay so I tried what you said and connected everything directly to the mobo and the rad fan shows up on my bios BUT my cpu temp is still pretty high. It starts at about 50c and then continues to rise. Also I don't really hear anything going on from my pump so I'm thinking it just may have died.
