Another tip for checking if your AIO pump is dead is that you put a load on your CPU then feel the temperature of both tubes an you should notice that one tube is hotter than the other which means the pump is in working order as the fluid is circulating the unit correctly. However If you feel that both tubes are getting equally as hot then there may be a pump problem. Thats what Ive used to determine dead AIOs in the past anyway.

Just keep scanning your temps regularly, once a week, or once a month. If they allways ramp up you got an issue. I have my first AIO on my GPU, and this is very stressfull to wait when it goes boom. My plan is to upgrade the pump once a year maybe, still cheaper than replacing the actual GPU.

[@crumbman]

About the warning when your pump failed. I've seen the option to turn on a pump failure warning inside the BIOS/UEFI when the board is equipped with a pump header. When the pump is not turning for whatever reason you'll either get a message on screen or a beep code (I've seen both). It's been a thing on ASUS, MSI and GIGABYTE but I'm not sure about the rest and I'm not sure if all the boards come with it.

[@dashkataey1740]

One other thing, if it's an older system overheating and you're using a CPU fan, check the grills for dust and dirt. If there is too much dust inside of the fan grills, none of the air from the fan will make it down to actually cool the CPU.

[@the_devils_advocate]

I'm surprised you didn't talk about the fourth most common way CPUs can overheat: Because the user's a filthy animal who never cleans their PC. I ran into that problem about a month ago. I kept getting dangerously close to shutdown from overheating (i.e. breaking about 208F under load, but around 128F when idle) so I powered down to have a look. I had a handy tool to hook up 3/4-pin headers to a molex connector and from there to a power brick with a switch so I could test each fan individually without unmounting to verify it worked. Since obviously they were all working I decided that before I'd go tearing into the CPU I should perhaps look at the CPU fan and... that's when I saw it. A solid mat of dust completing covering the cooler just below my CPU fan. I hadn't cleaned it once since I built this case about 4 years ago. It took me a good half an hour of going at that with a vacuum, cotton swabs, canned air, and even paper towels to clean it out. I finished cleaning all the other fans and reassembled. It worked. I now average around 88F idle and maybe 116F under load. Lesson learned: dust is an EXCELLENT thermal insulator.

You forgot the possibility of a clog in the AIO system. Had one in my MSI form in the block that goes over the cpu. Was easy to fix but for a bit I thought the pump was dead already after only a year. Just flushed it out and gave it fresh fluid and it works fine now. Had to use some compressed air to fully remove the gunk and several days to fully remove the chunks that had formed.

[@killedbykarma7553]

Ich have some pretty weird sound and visual lags but my system runs fine after like a second of this lags sometimes it is hanging and I have to restart

[@matasa7463]

It's possible to repair stuck fans if the problem is dirt inside the bearing causing it to cease up. Just need to disassemble the fan, clean out the bearing, and then put in new lubricant. Some fancier fans are more difficult to repair though, so you'll have to check the model for details.

verifying if the header is active is a good idea and if it is , your motherboard software ,ryzenmaster for amd boards and your uefi (bios) will show you if the pump is at 0 rpm or not and if everything checks out it will indicate if it is dead or not .

[@llamacannon1714]

Atleast for the CPU fan you can do a trick Greg usually uses, route the cable underneath the cooler, it hides the wire for a large portion of the length.

[@brando3342]

@@llamacannon1714 Yes, that’s a good idea. I have a hyper 212 so I just left the cord bundled with the twist tie, then I jammed it into the empty space in the side of the fan. It’s pretty well out of the way. The thing is, I have a white case, so I have 5 black cords all running behind the motherboard and then back out again. Not really sure there is much that can be done. Thanks for the advice 👌

666k SUBS hail s.... congratulations

[@Whole_Note]

I would like to add something to checking fluid flow on an AIO. Grab the pipes one at a time. When I grabbed them both, I couldn't tell if I was feeling fluid motion, or just the general vibrations from my six case fans and the three on my GPU. When I grabbed them individually, I could distinctly tell the direction of flow on both pipes. That told me for sure that it was functioning properly.

[@masonbain7098]

smart, most people don’t even speak about this

[@valentine8161]

While it's not a warning of the pump being dead per say, but the Corsair iCUE software does monitor both the AIO fans as well as the pump's RPM. So if the RPM is 0 on the monitor I'd assume that would be as good of an indication as any that the pump is dead.

This is way before we had tjmax or any thermal detection at all and I turned it on just to see the magic smoke coming out from under the heatsink. So…I bought another one and then tried to mount the hsf…backwards. This was when they stopped putting heatspreaders on the chips for better cooling and I…crushed the edges of the die. Ever since then I’ve been extremely careful with heat sinks. Just pay attention because things can be screwy without realizing it very easily.

Not sure what to do, any help guys?

[@angelocatana7604]

So today all of a sudden, my pc turned off and I didn't know what happened, but after I turned it back on and checked NZXT software I noticed that my CPU temp was about 95C. Until today everything was normal and no overheating ever happened. I have a R5 3600 and a NZXT AIO cooler. First thing I tried was removing the cooler, reapplying new fresh paste, giving the pc a proper clean (I always keep it clean anyway) and putting the AIO back on, but this didn't fix the issue. I've applied thermal paste and mounted coolers dozens of times so I know I can do it properly, also mounted multiple NZXT AIO coolers in the past years. The weird thing that is happening to me is that the PC is running at about 40C in bios and as soon as I turn windows on it jumps to about 90C in seconds. It could be the AIO but I can feel the liquid running through the tubes and the fan is working, so I can't see how it could actually be it. I can't keep my PC on more than about 1 min because of the safety shut down, but I won't even try it again to avoid permanent damage. So bios temp alright, but in 5-10 seconds it bursts from 40C to almost 100C (when loading windows), thermal paste applied properly, AIO mounted correctly, fan working, liquid flowing. What could it be? Also I run the same setup for more than an year now, and no progressive overheating happened. A few hours ago I could play 3 games at once, the next time I turn on the PC, it would only stay on for a few minutes at most. Can it still be the pump even if I can feel the liquid? What else could it be? Every other metrics looks perfect, Vcore voltage is good, every other hardware works within the parameters, all chassis fans are working... No ideas left...

Something else to check, if the motherboard has the capability, is that the inlet air temp sensor is operating correctly, the servers I work on will power off a server if the inlet temp is too hot, if this sensor has failed or not reading correctly, I.e. too hot, then it will power down the computer.

I can't thank you enough man. I just built my first machine and after 2 days of strenuous labor, I was getting 90+ cpu temps right after I turned it on in BIOS. I didn't have any clue what was wrong but after watching this video, I checked my setup and it turned out that I hadn't plugged on my pump cable. Thanks once again

[@EinSwitzer]

also follow thermal paste installation instructions and break in procedure.

Nice video

[@MrVlodato]

mine was so subtle. i was loosing fps in games i knew i never had fps drops in before. took me forever to realize my cpu temps were spiking when a bunch of particles were on screen. changed out the aio and it went back to normal.
