davevt31 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I have a H80i v2 that I bought in Jan 2018, it has been working fine all this time. Today the fans sounded loud to me so I look and the pump is at 0 RPM, are there any tricks I can try to get it going until my replacement arrives?

c-attack Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Not if it's an electrical failure, which seems highly likely. You could try plugging the power line to a different header and make sure the mobo fan control is disabled/100%/full speed or however your board describes. I am afraid other than that, there isn't much else to try. These days, you pretty much need to have a back-up cooling device on hand if your primary is an AIO and you can't afford to be down for 2 weeks. That's a hard pill to swallow sometimes, but then so is not being able to turn your PC on for two weeks. I used to keep an inexpensive air tower on hand for this kind of thing, but as DRAM got tall and heatsinks got large, putting that thing in became a 3 hour job with full case disassembly. I keep another AIO in a box as a back up now. That would be one option to consider: buy something new you want and keep the RMA H80i v2 as the back-up. You could also get by on a cheap and simple air cooling device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davevt31 Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 Yep, I have a new one coming and will RMA this one and have a spare. My original H80 is still humming along after 8+ years of use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
