Corsair H100i GTX not responding and causing major overheating!

[Ramzik]

hello,
recently I've been using my new system and the demos have been amazing. However I was messing with the Q-fan control and and noticed the fans began running @ 100%. After being confused I noticed my CPU temp was hitting 79 degrees in bios -_-
I'm getting errors barring me from entering windows as well. "CPU fan header speed error. Please make sure it is properly installed..."
My bet is it's the water block however is there a way to test the block without having to use another cooler because I don't have one and I don't get a stockmen with the i7 6700k skylake.
If you are unsure about then leave the experience to help me out as this is very critical and any mistake can cause my cpu to fry. I'll be calling corsair tomorrow when they open.

if in the bios you have good temp's and in windows very hot temp's then something is wrong with the OS or utility.
if in both bios and windows have very hot temperatures then is a faulty water pump or the cooler is in the wrong position and is not making contact with the cpu properly

The placement of the cooler is fine, it's been fine since it's been helping cool my intense gaming. I'll be contacting corsair and probably getting them to send me a new one.

Take it off and scrape and reapply the thermal grease. Check the pins of the headers you are using. Check your fan curve. If the pump is at 100% but the fans aren't, that means you're cycling water back through the heatsink before it can be fully cooled, which means your temp will rise.
