H100 high temps?

I'm not sure if the LED is dead but if it is, then it's more than enough for me to get the unit replaced. Unless, you are ok using the cooler with out the LED.

Now that grinding noise coming from the rad, is not really the rad, it's more like coming from the fan. Try connecting the fan directly to the MB fan header and see if the noise follows.

There is no way to tell if the fan controller works because the fans that you are using are non Corsair. Only way to find out is to use the stock fans.

The noise is indeed coming from the fans. The pump seems to be working fine from what I can tell. I can hear the water moving. It seems that the fan controller is dead (or the firmware is corrupt or something)

The noise from the fans is not there when they are connected to the motherboard, and the corsair fans produce the same result (don't spin, but work fine when connected to the motherboard)

It seems like if I connect the fans to the motherboard, then the cooler will function normally. Just seems a bit careless of corsair to release a cooler with such a flimsy fan controller...
 
I say get it replaced. The fan port and LED sounds bad news.

Either you get it replaced through OCUK or we can have it replaced via Corsair RMA.
