roflsheep Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I made a thread a few months back concerning h100i problems, but they were all due to the backboard being installed improperly. I fixed my problems and my temps were very good; ~29C idle and ~70C with IBT with 4.4ghz and 1.3 v. Now, however, my temps have gone to **** with seemingly no provocation. The coolant temp monitor is reading 43C with my CPU hovering around 45C. I assume this means that it is the h100i's fault and not mine, as the pump isn't doing its job rather than the mounting being at fault. What should I do to see if it's working properly?

Toasted Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Check the pump's RPM. Is the reading around ~2200? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toasted Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 It might be a air bubble stuck somewhere. Lay your case flat for a few hours and see if the temps drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wytnyt Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 have you tried reapplying thermal paste? also an over dusty rad can cause higher temps theres a reason for the temps as the pump should be doing its job since the rpm is inline. its certainly worth checking before going thru a rma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try cleaning the radiator when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roflsheep Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 The radiator is cleaned, only a few degrees difference... Before this problem, I got temps of ~75C with IBT, now they hit 95C+. I've left the case on its side multiple times for many hours. What could be wrong here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 lower the oc and see if temps drop,if they dont then the pump must be faulty,if they do drop then id say something has changed to affect temps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wytnyt Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 then i can only assume theres a pump problem,, does the surface of the rad stay cold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wytnyt Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 if the temp is high and the rad is cool then thats an indication theres no movement of water, so it would need to be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roflsheep Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Just for clarification, what should I send back? Just the rad/pump units? The fans as well? Backplate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
