Water cooler randomly stop working and dont turn on when system boots

[bimorx]

Hello everyone,

I have a water cooler (CoolerMaster Seidon 120) that i bought 7months ago, it worked fine till now. It just dont turn the water block on, i know it because the pump is plugged at CHA_FAN and the fan at CPU_FAN (as suggested by the user manual) so when i enter the BIOS i can see the CPU_FAN running perfectly, but some times the CHA_FAN (the pump) is stated as "N/A". When this happens my cpu dont get any cooling, and it goes to 80c in matters of seconds. But, as i said it is " random" , sometimes i can boot and when i go to BIOS the CHA_FAN is running as well, then my cpu temps drop to 34c. Please if some one can help me, its urgent :s

Mobo: M5A78M-LX
WaterCooler: CoolerMaster Seidon 120v

I am having the same issue and have reapplied artic paste 2 times. It still boots and hits 80c immediately then shuts down. Just seeing if you found a solution?

Pump is dying. Eventually won't start at all. Should look at replacing soon.

Man, i sent it back over warranty, they replaced it and soon they will sent it back for me, then i think it is some problem in the connectors in the pump, because they couldnt repair it or else... xD
