HELP! H60 Pump only at 1400 rpm!

Hey guys, ive had a corsair h60 on my custom built rig for about 1.5 years now.. the other day i booted up and realized i have a cpu heating issue.. long story short, my pump is only running at 1400 RPM no matter what i try to do :( My pump is connected to the pwr_fan header, my radiator fan is connected to the CPU_Fan header, ive tried all the tricks in my asus bios and simply CAN NOT find a solution.. please help! Ive re-applied the thermal past twice now, fully dusted my machine, tried multiple different header connections and im basically at a loss here guys, so input would be GREATLY appreciated.

 

My cpu is running around 40-50 Celsius idle, and easly jumps to double that under any kind of mild load. Ambient temp is around 74 Fahrenheit. Is my pump failing? or is there something that has happened to cause this?? I didnt do anything to cause the random sudden problem... had to un-overclock my machine just to let it boot up.. again pump RPMs are running 1450 TOPS.. I was under the assumption pumps either worked or they didnt, but i may be wrong. I bought a H100i anyways but I'd like to be able to use my machine for more than browsing til it arrives.

 

THANK YOU THANK YOU in advance

There isn't anything that specifically causes this. The only thing you can do is to have it replaced.

thanks, i did that, waiting on a reply... said allow 1 day but its been 3 now :/ Anyways, my main question is if it wont exceed 1400 rpm no matter what... does that mean the pump is out? reguardless of the cause

Yes, it would and sometime depending on the case load they have it may take longer than the 24hrs they say it will. But they answered in the order they are recieved.

 

You could always call and they would be able to assist you on the spot. Or even the Live Chat option.
