gene1234 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I just finished building a workstation to run CAD. Assembly went well except brackets didn't fit my 1156 and had to be cut. Now they are in tight on my Asus P7P55D-E. Problem: First boot I got a high temp warning from the BIOS of 98C so I shut down, reattached the cooling unit over the CPU and replaced the two 3/4 pin plugs to different headers. Second attempt booted up fine, all went well, installed Windows 7, ran for an hour at 40C from the BIOS and 30C from the ASUS temp software (no overclock-all stock settings). Installed my video card software, shut down and rebooted got the 98C temperature warning again on the boot up. Tried to get it to go into Windows so I could check the other temp software, but it would not, had to shut down. Afraid to try again without further instructions or I will fry CPU. BIOS indicated that CPU was running correctly on Auto as an Intel 860. The fan on the radiator is running, but it seems the water pump is not, but not sure, no idea how to test.

heliman41 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Do you have an aircooler you could use for now? If so then while the aircooler is running your sys you could plug in the pump & see if its circulating if it isnt then send back. Probably how id test it to do it safely.

gene1234 Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 Ok I can do that.... not to sound simple but how do I determine if pump is working? Is there a proper sound the pumps makes, or a vibration? One of the benefits of this system is little or no noise, so I'm not sure what I'm looking for.

joytech22 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 some people have reported the pump making a slight clicking sound, or you could grasp one of the tubes, and feel for vibration (if you can tell the difference between case vibration and water movement).

You can feel the vibration from the pump when its on. If your lucky like mine it will make no noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
