It worked! GPU is fine now and I haven't heard the fans spin up like crazy in a while. Still tempted to try and see which of the other parts actually went bad but for now they'll just sit in the closet. Thanks again!

Thanks so much for the detailed response, I'm going to try this first thing in the morning.

Well, after nothing worked I went out and bought new parts ASUS Prime Z390-A Motherboard LGA1151 (Intel 8th and 9th Gen) ATX DDR4 DP HDMI M.2 USB 3.1 Gen2 Gigabit LAN Intel Core i7-9700K Desktop Processor 8 Cores up to 4.9 GHz Turbo unlocked LGA1151 300 Series 95W Corsair H100i RGB PLATINUM AIO...

Okay, so I purchased the simplest heat sink I could find https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y4146PJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Installed with ease, but I'm still getting the same issue. No booting, noises, fans etc. I've tried the following. Plugging in the power...

Thanks for the advice, the test heatsink I purchased was around $40, get's here Wednesday. Fingers crossed!

No, I'm going to order a cheap one to test. Never had the chance, it stopped turning on before I had a chance to do that. Tested that earlier but still couldn't get anything to turn on. I have the case power pin plugged in and even attempting to turn it on gets no sound from anything. I would...

Thanks for the response! That's what I did initially after talking to Corsair. Installed icue, and reset the heatsink. I thought that fixed it because I was seeing decent numbers on the pump and fans. But then it was back again, fans on full blast with an ever increasing temp on the cpu. After...

I built a PC in late 2016 with the specs below, it ran flawlessly up until around mid 2018. For the most part it was almost completely silent. Then all of a sudden the fans one the cooler would run at full blast even when idle with the CPU getting super hot. I contacted Corsair thinking the...

Thanks for your response. I ended up taking out the entire pump cleaning off the thermal paste and reapplying installing the entire thing. I was able to install iCue now and everything is working properly.

Thanks! I did try switching the header and got the same results. I attempted to update the bios but after I started having problems but the CPU go too hot while trying to run the updates. Based on the responses here I'm thinking it has to be pump failure now.

Thanks for the help. I was thinking that pump failure would be the only reason for it to SUDDENLY stop working. As for hearing them, they were such good pump when they were working the thing never really made a sound.

Up until late 2018 everything was fine, it ran quietly never overheating (I use it mostly for development), then all of a sudden the fans on the water cooler started running at full blast very loudly. The cooler is still under warranty but Corsair suggested I test a few things first. -In...

I'm having the same problem with one I bought last month. My situation is this, I have a docking station iDSonix and Sabrent with a 1tb WD blue hd. Plug it in, powered it up and started a transfer of 930gb of files. It would start transferring after a slight delay around 130mb/sec then drop to 0...
