My son asked me to check his pc as it shut down displaying a CPU overheat warning.
Before I got to the pc, he said he' sorted it. As I glanced from a few feet away, the tower powered down.
I blew the dust out of the pc a month or so ago and it was pretty clean then. I started the pc noting the led light on the the motherboard was lit red along with the boot led. Also the led display on the front of the pump wasn't lit. Initially, I thought the pump may have failed and wasn't circulating the coolant in the loop. I removed the heatsink, reapplied the Tim and remounted. I then removed and Reinserted the ram. At this point on boot, the aio LED display lit up. Not sure if this is faulty or not. I did check all the cable that supply power to the pump and fans. Once back in bios, seeing the CPU temp at 55/60 I put a 100mv offset on the vcore an tweaked the pump and fan settings as apposed to default. Currently now idling 45/52.
Much improvement on the temps. I will be running a few CPU demanding games tomorrow to confirm all's ok. I'm still very curious as to why the temps had suddenly spiked like that out of no where and why the aio led display didn't show s display/wasn't lit.
Before this and loading windows. The temps were 80deg climbing to over 100deg.
Is it more than likely, the pump is on its way out?
