Ryzen 7 2700X Idle at 68-72C??

[xfile102]

Just upgraded a system to the Ryzen 7 2700X, using our original H100i V2. Loaded into Windows and the Fans on the cooler have gone NUTS. Sounds like a Jet Engine. Check Corsair Link and the temps on the CPU are running 68-72C. Is this out of the norm? Can I scale the fans back to not be so loud? Or is the pump starting to fail?

Either thermal paste wasn't installed correctly, cooler isn't attached properly or (yes) pump is failing.

Sounds as if it's the pump going bad, or Corsair Link responding to incorrect values by raising the fan speeds. I know some temp reports were incorrect when the Ryzen 2nd gen came out. I had all kinds of issues with coretemp and CAM reporting ridiculous temps.

That being said, I'd check to see if the pump is working. Can you hear it? Also, you can try to plug the pump connector into a molex adapter, just to rule out the motherboard header hasn't failed.

Sure enough, the pump was bad. Installed a new one, and we were at idle averages of 34-40 C after 8 hours. Thank you folks for your help.
