Ok, first off, we're on a heat wave here in Brazil. Its the 6:13pm and its frigging 35C. It is REALLY HOT, and it's not doing my AIO any favors. My AIO had been behaving weird, it's lights would go off all of a sudden then spend a long time off. And then a few days later, or weeks it would have the lights on again (both on the pump and fans). I thought it might have something to do with how crammed thae top side of my case was (I couldnt install any memory cause the fans would block the memory heatsink if it spread sideways) and I had to install it slightly on an angle cause of the motherboard's VRM heatsink. So yeah, not ideal. I'll be soon changing the case and the AIO (waiting for a Corsair 360mm to arrive).
So just now I removed it from the case, just left it hanging so the cables are more properly accommodated , removed the pump cable and plugged it in again and so far all lights are on, like 30 minutes later.
HAVING SAID THAT:
Its currently at 50-52C on idle but sometimes it spikes to 70 out of the blue. When gaming I've reached max temps of 80 degrees!
Do you think my AIO is malfunctioning?
