Question I think my AIO pump may be dead - - - - is it hard to change it ?

[Desirable223]

So I bought this PC like 9 months ago ,but not I encounter a big problem. My CPU seems to heat up up to 90C while gaming(only LoL) and sometimes idle at 70-80 C. I emailed the site where I bought my PC from and they suggested I should update my BIOS. I did it and it didn't solve [. Went throught their site and found out their warranty excludes AIO Coolling....so that's nice. I reasearched a little and found out that my pump might be dead or clogged, because both pipes are warm-hot. My question is how can I repair it without using my warranty? I don't have any experience whatsoever . I know a guy that can help, but is changina a pump hard? Are they universal or something? What should I buy for my PC?

I should mention this is my config:

1x AZZA Legionaire Midi-Tower - black»

1x AMD Ryzen 9 7950X - 16x 4.5GHz (Turbo 5.7GHz) 64MB L3-Cache AM5 »

1x Water cooling -Systemtreff ITS-360C Phaser - 3x120mm Lüfter ARGB Schwarz »

1x ASUS PRIME X670-P WIFI - AMD AM5 - DDR5 »

1x 64GB DDR5 TeamGroup T-Force VULCAN rot - DDR5 - 2 x 32 GB - 6000 MHz »

1x AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT 16GB GDDR6 »

1x 850W Be Quiet! System Power 10 Power supply BN330 80+ Gold »

1x 1TB M.2 SSD (NVMe) MSI Spatium M450 PCIe 4.0 »

All hoses in any AIO are crimped to fittings and fittings are not removable and changeable. In any case, I doubt manufacturer offers pump replacement and you would have to sacrifice another similar cooler to get it or use a cold plate and pump from a custom cooling kit.
If pump is dead. only full cooler replacement can help or the above which would probably cost more than decent AIO cooler.
If it's just clogged, you can try removing just cold plate from the pump (small screws on it) , clean it, flush and replace coolant although it's very tricky and you may need new gaskets for it. No idea if manufacturer offers those.

That is strange that the AIO does not have a warranty from the manufacture, many are 3 years.
Never hear of that brand, seems they are a system building company so maybe it is rebranded.

Have you done the very basic repaste the cooler maybe it was installed incorrectly.

AIO are pretty much disposable and non repairable.

I suspect your best option is to buy a air cooler you can get many for under $50. This is the most extensive single source I have found for rating air coolers. What you want to look at most is test they do at 200 watts. Your cpu should not be putting out more than 200 watts of heat so you really should not need a water cooler.

Arctic is giving 6 year warranty.

When an AIO stop working, will the cpu overheat/damaged?

You shouldn't hijack old threads. It will overheat but modern cpu will first reduce the clock speeds/performance and if that is not good enough most will actually turn off.

Overheat? YES, and quite rapidly! NO pump action means NO ability to move heat from CPU to rad, so the CPU will overheat quickly. All fan headers do the important secondary job of monitoring the speed signal on the header for NO signal, indicating failure. When that happens they pop a warning window on your screen so you know to get it fixed. But MANY mobos will do much more for the CPU_FAN header in particular. If failure happens they may shut down your whole system even before the temp sensor inside the CPU chip detects high temps, just to protect the CPU from damage due to a very fast rise. Such headers may also refuse to allow you to boot up if it does not get a speed signal almost immediately after power-on. CPU_OPT and PUMP headers may also have these protections. This high level of failure response is NOT included for CHA_FAN of SYS_FAN headers. HOWEVER, you will never find any info on all this in a mobo manual, so we cannot know if any particular mobo has this (most do for CPU_FAN), or for related headers.

For that reason I always recommend to AIO users that the PUMP in their system be plugged into the CPU_FAN header to take advantage of this protection system. When you do this, just remember that what BIOS Setup shows you as the speed of the "fan" on CPU_FAN is really the PUMP speed.

On the other hand, if the failure is in one or more of the RAD FANS of the AIO system, the reduced cooling available will allow the CPU to overheat at a slower rate. THAT can be detected and handled by the normal temp sensor and the responses programmed for that - slow down the CPU, and if that's not enough, shut down with decent warning.

Incidentally, these system can on occasion cause other problems. If the AIO system is actually working properly but the connections in the fan header are poor, the header MAY not get a speed signal, shut down, and refuse to start up. Similarly in a new system with NOTHING plugged into CPU_FAN.
