Also try removing any front panel in front of the intake fans + try removing the glass.

front radiator

case air's going to be full of warmed up air

#

check if this case allows you to mount the radiator up top

#

if yes, time to do some work and change it so that it looks like this:

#

front: 2x or 3x intake
top: radiator as exhaust
rear: no fan or 1x exhaust

#

otherwise

#

the no cost option:

reverse the cpu radiator fans so it's exhaust, and the other fans to intake (if possible, and you have them, move any of the fans from the top or rear to bottom as intake

#

the cost option:

buy a new case that has guaranteed top rad support

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 1:30 PM

#

hey can i call anybody

#

bc i just got home and turned on my pc to let it idle for 10 mins

#

nothing in the background at all, but its idling at 90

uneven robin Apr 25, 2024, 2:13 PM

#

shrewd summit nothing in the background at all, but its idling at 90

sounds like mounting or pump fail

#

definitely not a case airflow issue if the temps never go down

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 5:38 PM

#

so how would i go about fixing this?

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 5:41 PM

#

If it is the pump, you’d need to get a new AIO / file a warranty claim

#

@shrewd summit with your front glass removed, do you feel heat coming from the radiator of the aio?

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 5:43 PM

#

#

ive removed the fron panel

#

i put my hand infront of the intake frans and its definitely collecting cold air

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 5:44 PM

did u want me to put my hand on the other saide? like inside the pc?

#

alright, ive jst dont that and it feels cold as well

#

#

thats where i put my hand

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 5:47 PM

#

shrewd summit

Is the AIO all connected to power / plugged in?

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 5:48 PM

#

#

that should be the one right?

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 5:49 PM

#

shrewd summit

There should also be a 3 pin connector for the pump

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 5:51 PM

#

isn’t that the one that’s plugged in on the picture?

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 5:52 PM

#

shrewd summit isn’t that the one that’s plugged in on the picture?

You should have 2 connectors for fan / pump speed

#

Where does that connector connect to on the other end?

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 5:55 PM

#

#

that’s the one you want me to follow right?

#

ooh on the motherboard

#

where it says pump_fan1?

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 5:56 PM

#

shrewd summit that’s the one you want me to follow right?

You should have one that specifically comes from the radiator

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 5:56 PM

#

shrewd summit

the other side of that is the cable in this picture

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 5:57 PM

#

shrewd summit

yeah the cable that’s connected to the pump_fan1 pins is the cable in the picture here

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 5:58 PM

Okay Perfect. Next question. Fans are spinning when you didn’t feel heat, right?

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 5:58 PM

#

yes i felt the suck in cold air

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 5:58 PM

#

If that’s the case, try booting in to your bios.

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 5:58 PM

#

alright one sec

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 5:58 PM

#

We want to set pump_fan to 100% / on if possible

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:05 PM

#

alright sorry for the gemist had to screw the fans back on

#

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 6:06 PM

#

Click in to hardware monitor

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:06 PM

#

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 6:07 PM

#

Click in to pump 1

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:07 PM

#

and i know the cpu is only at 50 right now but its only when windows is fully booted up and everything

#

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 6:09 PM

#

Hit all full speed for that, save, and exit out of it

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:09 PM

#

done that windows is gonna boot now

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 6:09 PM

#

@shrewd summit this sounds dumb, but unscrew your fans enough that you can feel the block / pump. Then try booting, you want to see if you can feel any sort of vibration or anything from the pump motor

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:09 PM

#

i can definitely hear the pump

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 6:10 PM

#

Okay good

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:10 PM

#

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 6:10 PM

#

Monitor temps, but use the radiator to test if any heat is coming from it

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:10 PM

#

idk of u can hear it but that’s near the pump

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:10 PM

#

now that i can hear that pump, is this still necessary

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 6:11 PM

#

shrewd summit now that i can hear that pump, is this still necessary

No

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:11 PM

#

alright so what now

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 6:11 PM

#

runic pollen Monitor temps, but use the radiator to test if any heat is coming from it

This

#

Maybe it wasn’t previously spinning the pump fast enough/ at all

#

If temps are more normal

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:12 PM

#

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:13 PM

#

shrewd summit

i’ve put my hand on this side of the radiator again, still cold

#

im not sure if something has changed actually

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 6:15 PM

#

So it’s the same?

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:16 PM

#

#

just running discord and steam, is this fine?

#

i feel like it changed

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 6:16 PM

#

It’s a bit high but at least it’s not 90?

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:16 PM

#

roamed around 50

#

roams*

#

except my pc is obviously very load due to the setting we changed in the bios

#

no what?

#

still weird that it’s a bit high tho because i keep my room very cool

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 6:18 PM

#

Yeah, if there’s no heat coming out, it’s either your paste job, or the pump is running dry

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:19 PM

#

how would i go about fixing that second one if that’s the case

#

#

this is it with absolutely nothing at all opened

#

no background stuff at all either

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 6:22 PM

#

That would be an RMA with MSI

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:22 PM

#

1% cup usage

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 6:22 PM

#

Or a new pump

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:22 PM

#

an RMA?

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 6:22 PM

#

Hwinfo will list how many watts you’re pulling

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 6:22 PM

#

shrewd summit an RMA?

Basically a warranty claim

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:22 PM

#

alright so what’s my next step for now then?

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 6:23 PM

#

Run the pumps high and hope

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:24 PM

#

so i’m gonna need to keep that setting turned on, the one we enabled in the bios

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 6:24 PM

#

Just to keep temps a little lower

#

What paste did you use?

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:25 PM

#

#

it’s empty bc this is the paste i got with the of when it was delivered back in 2021

#

there was only a tiny bit on it for like 1.5 past jobs

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 6:29 PM

#

Last thing you can try is replacing that with layer of kryonaut or something, making sure to clean the cpu and the cooler with isopropyl alcohol fully

#

Also double checking that there isn’t any plastic hidden

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:31 PM

#

this question might sound dumb but english isn’t my first language, what would a warrently claim entail?

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 6:32 PM

Reaching out to the vendor, explaining the issue, and usually they want you to send it back and they repair it

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:32 PM

#

ah okay, this was a prebuilt pc tho is that a problem?

#

i didn’t order a specific part myself

#

except for stuff that i’ve added down the line

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 6:43 PM

#

Did they install the aio or did you?

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:43 PM

#

it’s an entire gaming pc i ordered back in 2021, a full prebuilt

#

ordered from alternate

#

so they installed everything

#

except for stuff i’ve added later on like ram sticks and an hdd

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 6:44 PM

#

Okay, only they can provide warranty services / etc on devices

#

If they still have that available

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:45 PM

#

so i have to contact alternate? not msi?

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 6:46 PM

#

Yes, just because they’re the people who sold you the parts

#

You can try both

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:46 PM

#

alright

runic pollen Apr 25, 2024, 6:46 PM

#

But MSI might ask for proof of purchase

shrewd summit Apr 25, 2024, 6:46 PM

#

yeah thought so

#

will do, that’s so much for ur help and time btw i rlly appreciate it

#

you’ve gotten me a lot further than where i first got stuck

shrewd summit Apr 28, 2024, 4:49 PM

#

hey i had a question about this, if my cpu has been downlocking itself, will it automatically go back to how it was or do i have to do anything

shrewd summit Apr 29, 2024, 8:18 PM

#

@runic pollen @wispy vine
Hey guys just an update, my package arrived and everything is fixed.

#

ordered the nzxt kraken 280 rgb and to my surprise it is pretty difficult to get it to go over 50 degrees. so yeah the issue seemed to have been the aio pump.

#

thanks again so much for ur help, i really appreciate it!
