Hi

anyone else have the antec logo on the pump flashing druring gaming. It started doing it tonight. checked the temps and they were ok as normal and the pump speed was full speed as well. Dont know if the led flashing is a sign of a problem.

Any ideas what is causing it

thx

Is the LED blue? if so this indicates that the liquid is above 65c

what does....the led being on or the led flashing on and off.

The blue led logo on the pump is on all the time from first boot to shut down. The water temp is not 65c at boot.....or do you mean it is 65c when it is flashing.

Also can you say where you got this information from as I can not see it on the Antec website or on the manual that came with the cooler.
 
Mine does not flash just stays on blue all the time though my temps dont go over 53 under load
 
Here you go buddy...

I keep getting asked a number of questions about these coolers.

So I thought it maybe useful to post them here with the answers.

1. Does the H600 and H1200 come with software to regulate the fan speed and temperature? The fan speed is regulated by the motherboard, there is no software needed.

2. Will the LED lights will change colour according to the temperature of the CPU? Currently, the LED light up blue by default, and the blue light blinks as a warning when the liquid temperature reaches 65° C. (There are plans in the future to have a model that switches between Red-Green-Blue lighting, depending on temperature levels)

3. Does the copper plate of the pump part have cooling paste already administered by the factory? No, the H600 pro/H1200 pro includes a tube of thermal (or cooling) paste for the customer to apply before installation.

We are working on better instructions for future batches - I know they are dire at the moment.

thanks for that...When the led was flashing my cpu temps were low 30's...would the water be that hot even tho the cpu temps were ok?
 
Was just trying to find out this exact information, thanks chaps.

Will it cause much of an issue for the cooler if this happens frequently?
 
It's probably not a problem for the pump but it will be for the tubing as most is only rated for a max of 60-65 degrees. 65 degrees is higher than we have the hot water temperature set for our hot taps in the kitchen and bathroom!! If your water temps are getting that hot then you need to sort out your airflow.
 
sorry to revive an old thread mine started doing this today. took the side off and switched the additional fans on to help cool it down and its been fine since

what i need help understanding is why was it flashing which means it was at 65 degrees but HWiNFO was telling me i was at 55 degrees. it had seen 71 degrees during gaming though

4790k running 4.8 ghz

any help greatly appreciated
 
Quite simply the 4790K "Lies" about temps.

My friends 4790K actually used to have an idle temp of 20'c ... yet his AIR temp of his room was 27 + !

we came to the concluestion it was about 10'c out.

Why I go by water temp all the time now for base line and then juist check the cpu temps every now and then to make sure paste hasnt dried out etc.

Unless someone is aware of Intel have broken the law of thermodynamics? :p
 
As I understood it, the logo starts flashing when the water temperature hits 65 degrees, not the CPU temp. As you almost certainly don't have a thermal probe in the water stream of your AIO, you're reading a different temperature :)

haha maybe. i presume to get the water to 65 degrees it would have to have had been running at 70+ for a while i suspect it was as i was on a 12 hour gaming session.

im guessing its not something i can fit?

Also one more question this time with regards to fitting. mine is currently up top exhausting but im thinking of moving it to the front. might seem like a strange thing to ask but if im hanging it down front does it matter which end the pipes enter the rad??

or pipe going in at the bottom?

Its physically impossible to have a cpu running at a LOWER Temp than the medium removing heat, in this case Water.
As such the Either the Water sensor built into the AIO is wrong or the CPU temp is wrong.

Thats the issue here :)
