Water pump broken?

[Joey109]

I kept getting error code 9C and I couldn't get past the load screen on startup. Not even bios. Today I took everything apart again and booted my of leaving the usb connector off of the pump block since I was told it wasn't necessary. I started it up and everything was well. I ran an AIDA 64 stress test and my temps jumped up again, ~85 degrees. I turned off my pc and changed where I had my rad fans plugged and then started up again. Still high temps. I tried plugging the usb connector into the pump and again I got 9C. Once I unplugged it I start up and it says my overclocked failed and sends to to bios. Once I leave there I'm able to log back into my computer but still have really high temps. When I turn my computer on I can hear the little slurp? sound of the water pump. I have a sufficient amount of thermal paste on the cpu (I use gc extreme). I'm just at a loss right now and have no idea what to do since it's literally just the cpu temps causing problems. I don't think anything is old since it was all bought in Sept. '15.

do you have the stock cpu cooler still? maybe throw that on, and try? I had a pump fail on my H60 few years ago, corsair will RMA for you most likely, I know my H100 idles at 13 degrees...so yeah something major goin on..
