Hi everyone,
I am in need of some advice as im not too sure what the problem may be.
Now 2 and half years ago i brought a h80i GT cooler for my pc. up untill about 2 weeks ago it has been working 100% . idle was 35 ish depending on how hot it was on the day and max temp i would get too while gaming would be around 55c . Would never go above that temp.
Now 2 weeks ago i decided the pc needed a clean out so yh cleaned out the fans the rad other bits and bobs.((never removed the h80i gt pump from the cpu))
Put it all back together and soon afterwards i noticed my temps were a bit iffy. was reaching 70c on my cpu.
So decided to turn the raid with the hose down and yet still no difference. so then i turned it bk the other way. now while i was doing this and i did notice it the first time i cleaned it out that when i moved the rad i heard the water moving inside... thought that was a bit odd as i never heard it before or when i first put cooler in my pc. but thought nothing off it as some people say there never 100% filled and there can be some air in it.
with the temps still hitting higher than they should be (idle 50-55 load/gaming 70 ish) i decided to take it all off and clean it and reply the thermal paste and so on.
now i seem to be having more troubles than before. so i took it apart agian and tried agian. still same result.
My temps sitting in windows while writing this is at 70c 1-2% load . i did have trouble trying to get into windows as kept saying the cpu fan error which should not be happening as i checked all settings and wires and should all work. but after 2 hours, for some odd reason it decided to work ((was after i left it off for 10 mins)) so i got into windows, and the idle temps looked good. 34-36c . The room was a little colder than when i was trying before but not much of a difference. so i tried a few games out. was hitting about 55-60c . but after a while temps started to rise agian .
i tried reading everything i can and tried everything but im not too sure what is wrong. I believe it is my pump but i cant be certain.
Im sure i can fill it vibrating but its very minor vibrations ((pump set to max performance))
1 tube is very warm and the other is just normal i would say not hot, and not dead cold. but the difference between the 2 pipes are really noticeable.
Where the pipes go into the rad, the hot pipe side is hot and the other is metal cold. My fans blow out cold air.
current temps right now is
68-70c cpu.
52c H80i GT
these temps have not changed at all.
is my pump dead? well not dead but not performing as it should be? CL reports its running 3200 rpm((performance mode)) and it changes to 2100rpm in quite mode.
i not sure if im missing something or not. ive tried lots of things that people have said on the net but nothing has worked.
back plate is not lose and its tight, ive seated it the same way i did when i first put it in. cleaned it all properly with right cleaning stuff too.
oh when i load up into windows my temps are at 80-99c and the h80i is near 60c.
the slighted bit of load sends the temps flying sky high.
Specs
Intel 4970k 1150
Asus ranger VII
850w corsair .
Corsair case
H80i GT cooler
P.s The rad at the moment is hose up with fans acting as an exhaust which is the way i have always had it and when it was working perfectly too. ((tried others ways but nothing works))
