AntoineD Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Hi, I recently bought a h100i from newegg for my 8350 at stock, it would work I guess "ok" for the 1st couple of days (3 to 5 days) I would get temps such as 60c +- at max load and I could reach 8c at idle. After not even one week my pc started to shut down on me without warning and I found out before long that it was happening right before my cpu would reach temps well over 80c when I'd be playing bf3 on the lowest settings after barely 5m... And it degraded.. I'm simply downloading a game on steam (8%-+ CPU load) and my cpu reaches temps such as 70c... sigh. Honestly, I really don't want to go through to RMA process since I barely have time to work with college taking all my time I just work when I can and my wallet does not weight a ton... If I can get some help from the forum It would honestly lift a weight off my chest and apparently corsair support site has been down for couple days so I'm stressing..

sinnedone Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Pump rpm and fans working correctly? Screws on mounting plate still nice and tight? You can try remounting with new thermal paste to see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryman Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 your getting over 90C on an amd processor? is the pump even working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntoineD Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 Is there a sure way to see if it works? I used the corsair link software and I think it works not sure if I could check though :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryman Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 im just curious... how would you get 8C at idle? is it like 40 degrees in the room? jw and did you change anything since you started getting these different temps? im assuming you didnt but just making sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntoineD Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 Well I live in canada and I like to leave my window open since I can't support the heat :), to be honest even now my cpu reaches temps as low as 5c at idle but once I start to use more than 5% the temps get ridiculous, I tried prime95 and it'll shut down my pc if I leave it open for more than 1m due to my cpu reaching 90c... I can't even download a game on steam without reaching 70c, sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryman Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 so its about 0C in the room? ok temps are normal at idle then i would try remounting it (make sure to take old thermal paste off then put new stuff on) and if that doesnt work i would RMA it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntoineD Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 I'm using an R5 rosewill case and the radiator mounted on top with the fans over it on the other side of the venting holes on the top, do you think the problem would be the heat is passed on to the case and that's why it can't cool down properly? -fans- >------------< venting holes -radiator- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryman Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 nah its fine...dont know why you are getting high temps all of a sudden though :( sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 fter not even one week my pc started to shut down on me without warning and I found out before long that it was happening right before my cpu would reach temps well over 80c when I'd be playing bf3 on the lowest settings after barely 5m... And it degraded.. I'm simply downloading a game on steam (8%-+ CPU load) and my cpu reaches temps such as 70c... sigh. AntoineD the only thing that would cause your temps to suddenly go high would be a failing pump. Best to have the unit replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntoineD Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 allright thanks, I'm thinking of getting a refund, should I? Apparently these problems with the h100i are very frequents and I still haven't received a reply from corsair customer support after 3days :/.

Bryman Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 dont know if you can get a refund at this point...you can certainly get it replaced though 3 days? wow thats a long time...should of gotten one by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntoineD Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 Allright, thanks for your help forum :) I contacted newegg and they got me fully covered. Truly lifts off a chest off my weight and I can relax now, needless to say I won't be purchasing anymore corsair product :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantium Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Ugh, good to have found another H100i that also has had this issue. I have owned the H100i for about 2 months and now suddenly this occurs as well. The pump also shows that it is running at over 2300 RPM. Even at 11%~ load the CPU temp goes to 90C, absolutely ridiculous. Removing mine today and installing back my NH-D14, never touching another closed loop water cooler again. Needless to say it worked fine 2 months ago, and even last week. But 2 days ago this started to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 anytime and everytime the latest technology is introduced there will be a small % of users that will have issues,its a given so to speak. sometimes using air will better suit some simply because while not the best way,it is the easiest . the model A car was veered as the most dependable mode of transportation but my *** wont get parked in its seat when theres better transportation available,even with its scheduled maintenance and constant repairing.;): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
