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 BIOS, and iCUE, was the pump reading 0RPM?
-What's the case and where is the radiator installed?
-Have you tried connecting the pump on a different CPU_Fan header or a dedicated AIO pump header?
-Have you tried changing the thermal paste as well? If so, was there any changes in your temps?
-Are other coolers able to cool down your processor temporarily?
For a perfectly working water cooler to stop working randomly do any of the above sound like they would be the most likely culprit? The Corsair app shows the fan and pump running fine, but even with the PC sitting at the bios or waiting for Windows to be logged into the CPU overheats.
