How would I know this, I unplugged the old AIO pump and then plugged the new one in where the old one was.
CPU running Extremely hot
- Thread starter Prof_Cookie50
- Start date
i think if this is the case, then the error has to be related to the aio and or mounting
this would be my top bet
which part of the UK are you in?
Yeah brought new from pc specialist in nov-21, 3 year labour warranty and then various parts warranty depending on the parts/manufacturer warranty. But this cooler is band new only arrived today from Corsair. So has 5 years on it.
I'm going to unwire the AIO and then wire it back up just to see, I will try anything at this point.
@Prof_Cookie50 can you not send it back to them for them to diagnose and rectify the problem?
that's why you paid a pretty penny for the warranty (even if you have to pay for the extra component to fix the fault)
which part of the uk are you in? if you're close to brum i can have a look lol

I can send it back for like £60 shipping which is why I went for the cooler first as it was nearly the same price.
After the rewire we are down to 50/60°c idle, so I may leave it off overnight to cool after being sat at 100 for so long and hopefully jobs a goodun.
I'm Devon/Cornwall so bit of a trek. Lol
what have you done exactly? was something not wired quite right?
I took all the new wiring out, and then re followed the instructions to plug it in again, I think I may have mixed up where one of the pin connectors goes.
you connected the Y-connector incorrectly didn't ya

looking at the hwmonitor screenshot, from the values for cpu and fan rpm, i would has a guess to it being a pump issue in regards to it being too slow to move enough water to cool the cpu guessing pump speed is slow and maybe the issue. what aio do you have?

It's a Corsair H60x elite 120mm

icue software installed at all
I have it now that it's calming down, I felt there was no need when idle it was at 100°c

I would have a go at trying to access the CPU with my hand and feel the temperature. You most likely can access the back of the motherboard. Also, what's the CPU temperature in the BIOS? Gigabyte used to use their own sensor that was located on the motherboard under the CPU. Don't know if they still do. Worst case I would allow it to idle for half an hour and then switch it off, remove the pump head and directly touch the CPU.
The cooler could be dead, but if the pump is making a noise then it seems unlikely.

Maybe missed it, but is the board on latest bios?
If you touch the cooler, what does it feel like?
If it doesn't feel that hot, then maybe a dodgy sensor as people say.
I'd run the PC just placing a generic heatsink on it, not screwed down and see what change is made by you applying pressure with hand.

So after letting it cool with the new AIO and then running it a day later it is now idle at 30°c and under load at 40°c so it all seems to be fixed now 
thank you all for your help. The only part that isn't working now is the new ARGB bits for the new AIO and fan.
