Corsair H100i v2 is acting up.

[DaWilliams16]

I have been using my custom built PC for about 5 months now and no problems. I booted it up today and was using Google Chrome when the light on it turned red and CAM notified me that my CPU had gone over 100C. Usually it idles around the 20-30 range. I heard a little different noise but not super noticeable. I checked the connection for the pump and it seemed like the pins were making contact. I used this system a few days ago and haven't changed anything.

1| When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs, list them as:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

2| Have you made sure your motherboard BIOS is up to date?

3| Have you verified if the radiator itself is indicative of those temps? Or at leas the cooling/pump block? If those are in fact real, the pump block should be really hot, that like boiling water temps.

On another note, if those temps are on the block but the radiator is cool then it's possible the pump is not circulating the coolant. If this is the case, you're going to have to RMA the CLC unit as the pump might've failed or that the BIOS just needs an update/a repair install if you're on Windows 10.

Can you post a pic of the Corsair Link software? What does the coolant temperature read in Corsair Link? If you have a constant 100C the pump may have failed. What are the current cpu temps?

CPU:Intel Core i5 6600k
Motherboard:Gigabyte Z170N Wifi (rev 1.0)
Ram:Corsair LPX 16 GB 2400 MHz
SSD/HDD:Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB m.2
GPU:Asus Strix GTX 1070
PSU:EVGA G2 650 Gold
Chassis: Phanteks ITX
OS:Windows 10 64bit

If this helps, whenever I first booted and it had shutdown, it said Windows 10 needed a repair. I continued through trying to see if I could just do that later/never and the problem would go away. It did not go away.

What are the current CPU temps? Still 100C? Is the light still red on the pump? Are you using the Corsair Link software? Can you take a screenshot of it?
