Pump Troubleshooting Possible RMA.

What happens is I idle at about 40 degrees then it just keeps rising until it hits about 60-70 degrees by this time I turn off my PC for a while and go back on later. Takes it about an hour to do so. Gaming or anything too demanding is basically out of the question.

Every now and then I hear the pump (revving) like a car engine and it does little kicks where it pumps then stop, pumps again then stops again. lets say I'm idling at 40 degrees when it does this little pump session which lasts about 10-15 seconds my temps drop like 5 degrees immediately then once it stops they slowly rise again.

100% this pump is broken I even believe it's been broken since I've bought it. Thinking back when I had it cooling my GPU's the res was never too active slight activity just not as bad as this. Think it's got a little worse over the past 3 - 4 weeks I've had it set up.

Yeah that sounds broken to me, i had a pump that was "sticky" on my GPU loop which sometimes needed a whack to get it started, GPU temps were fine for ages but when playing games i had Realtemp alarms start going off after a while, checked and GPU was hitting 80c

After a few whacks pump would kick in and then suddenly temps would drop massively:

RMA the pump and get a new one, I'm sure we have covered everything here :)
