Corsair h100i v2 strange noises

[vaticanpapa]

Hello guys, just installed the H100i v2 and im in trouble. Im hearing full speed fans of the AIO in desktop only, im seeing temps spiked to 99*C. What should i do ? I need your help please.
Btw my cpu is i7 7700k.

I immediately suspect the pump. Can you hear it operating? Does your software/BIOS allow you to view pump status?

AIOs are infamous for pump problems. Particularly cheaper units like this. As they age, the fluid can congeal and eventually burn out the pump. The pumps themselves are cheaply made and can fail on their own. There's no way to recover the cooler if this happens, your only option would be replacing it completely.

I just bought the AIO today, i see in HWinfo that Pump is at 0rpm ? I have connected the CPU header into the CPU fan connector, connected the fans into the Radiator and the Corsair link cable into the USB at the bottom of motherboard. Immediately turned off the PC and gonna look a fix for it tommorow, and if its dead what can i do ? I bought the cooler from another country ? What can i do ?

*sigh* It's toast I'm afraid. Failed pumps aren't repairable, you're going to need to replace the entire thing.

What was the point of sale? Who did you buy it from? You may be able to return it under warranty.

My dad bought it, in Slovenia from a store that sells technology stuff, i have warranty 2 years from them but the thing is that i can’t go to Slovenia right now.

Unless they changed it for the V2 varrient, HWMonitor will nto report the pump speed correcdtly.

Download and install the software *for* the produrct in question!.... (what a thought)

Corsair link will sync with the AIO (assuimg you correctly plugged in the USB 2.0 header) and allow you to see if the pump is functional or not.

If not, you need to replace or RMA as adviced...




If the pump shows that it is functioning, but temps and fans are still too high you might have to look at other options...

Personally I had a similar issue with my H100i, but my issues came down to buying a used AIO, and the mounting hardware that came with it being litterly bent from over-torque by the previous ovwner. Caused the mounting bolts to stretch a bit, and required me to fasion up paper washers out of 3x5 ost cards to get an extra few MM of clearance on the back of the motherboard mounting bracket to get good presure on the GPU itself.

I think it sounds more like you have not connected to pump power cable, follow this guide for full install:
