Corsair H100i v2

[locklari85]

So I installed my corsair cooler about a year ago and have never had a problem, but literally overnight, it turned on a red led instead of white and now it's running too hot. I've tried resetting it onto the processor, but nothing has helped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

changed out the thermal paste? maybe theres a leak in it? are the fans spinning? and always post your full specs

Intel Core i7 6700K 4.00 GHz Quad core
ASRock ATX DDR4 LGA 1151 Motherboard
Geforce GTX 1050T video card
Hard drive is super old, so I'm not quite sure what that is

I didn't replace the thermal paste when I reinstalled it, so Imma do that, but the fans spin and I havent found any leaks. Like I said, it was literally overnight so the thermal paste shouldn't have been my main issue.

see if the pump cable is maybe pulled out of the fan slot thingy

I checked that and all the tubes seem to be in place. I also hear the liquid in it if I give it a slight shake

Check to make sure that the fan header is set to 100%/Full Power (see http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=168801).
If it is, then its possible that you have a failed pump; that's how it happens. You'll need to fill out a ticket at Corsair Support if you want to pursue RMA. As long as you have the receipt, they're pretty good about honoring warranty claims.
