Hey there. This past week I'm parkour-ing between different components of my PC gradually failing.
Case: TТ Chaser MK-1
MB: AsRock Z77 Extreme4
CPU: Intel i7-3770k /not OC/
CPU Cooler: Corsair H110
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 4x4GB 2133Mhz
GPU: EVGA GTX 980ti SC+ /not OC/
PSU: SS-850AM
This Saturday the performance of my PC (in the signature) gradually slowed down. Few restarts and a BIOS reset later I noticed my CPU temperatures skyrocket and have what is called to be "thermal throttling".
The CPU was never overclocked and resetting the BIOS (something I've done hundreds of time) isn't most likely the problem.
The AIO Corsair H110 is 7 years old. Never failed until now. Warranty of 5 years is gone of course.
The fans are spinning, the CPU fan (that has to be the pump) has it's RPM in the BIOS. The pipes however are cool, not hot. The top (cap) of the cooler itself is getting hotter /never touched it before so I can't tell the difference/.
Probably the pump is dead?
I've been monitoring the CPU/GPU temps this past week due to my GPU failures and they were within limit.
The CPU goes up to 40C in idle and 70 under load.
Now it's at 80-90 degrees in the first 20 secs of booting (looking at the BIOS sensors), and goes up to 105 idling in Windows.
I'm not even using the PC right now until I've come with a plan what to do or check. I'm probably getting some old CM V10 from a friend to see if the CPU is going cold again.
