Okay so my issue started about a week ago.
The fans on my Corsair H80i stopped spinning so I bought 2 Corsair AF120 fans to replace them. I marked out where they were plugged in, swapped them out and thought all was well.. untill I turned the PC on and it started shooting up in temperature.. it hit 85c in less than 60 seconds.

I've tried turning the fans around to allow better airflow.
I've tried cleaning and reapplying the thermal paste on my chip.
I've tried plugging the fans into different sockets on the motherboard.

I have no idea what to do?

Here is my setup:


  • Case: NZXT Phantom 410 White
    Processor: AMD FX-9590 Eight Core CPU 4.7GHz
    Motherboard: ASUS+ Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
    RAM: 16GB G.Skill Ripjaws-X + 16GB Kingston HyperX Beast Dual
    Graphics Card: 6GB GeForce® GTX 1060 Gaming X
    SSD: 240GB KingDian 128M SATAIII + 120GB Kingston HyperX 3k 550
    HDD: Toshiba 2TB 3.5 SATA III
    Power Supply: Corsair 1000W RM Series™ Modular 80 Plus® Gold, Ultra Quiet
    Processor Cooling: Corsair H80i Hydro
    Mouse: Razer Deathadder Elite Chroma
    Mousepad: Razer Firefly (Soft)
    Keyboard: Razer Deathstalker
    Microphone: Razer Seirēn
    Monitor: LG 23MP68VQ 23" Gaming Monitor x3
    Capture Card. Elgato Game Capture HD60 Pro

Thanks alot :)

If the fans stop spinning, that's usually an indication that the pump is not correctly powered. These pumps require a full 12V from the fan header at all times. This means that you need to set the fan header to full speed/100%.

And the AF fans won't work with the coolers. The cooler uses PWM fans *only* and the AF fans are DC fans.

Which socket should I plug it into? There is a motherboard layout on their website, as much help as possible is helpful :p

When I put my fingers on the pipes, it seems to have activity flowing.

I know I do
