H50 pump not working ?

[bulldog147]

I had to shutdown my pc because the H50 cooling temperature went over 100C and I try to work out what is wrong ? I found out that the H50 pump (plug into power 3 pin at 1400RPM) had stop working. I try different 3 pin on the system power, but the pump still not working, it failed without a warning.


JUST A WORD OF WARNING: kept an eyes on your H50 pump. I gonna to take it back as it faulty pump.

I'm really sorry to hear that. Hopefully the next one will last longer.

It's one of the perils of water cooling that running very hot water through pumps knackers them. One of the reasons Laing pumps are held in esteem above all others is that they are basically central heating pumps, made to pump very hot water and their ceramic bearings are very tough. I'll bet your poor Corsair system has a nylon or brass bushed bearing and it just gave up.

Luckily you caught it before it got over TJunction. Hopefully, your CPU would have shut itself down anyway, but I think you'll agree that neither of us would want to actually test TM2 in the metal.

Cheap kit, cheap parts.
