How Do You Know if Your Liquid Cooler Has Failed

adshidi · Mar 29, 2017 23 0 4,510 0

How do I know for sure that my AIO liquid cooler is not functioning? How to tell if pump is failing or the coolant has stuck? Is there whatever surefire manner to tell it for a layman, or should Information technology guys be chosen in to check?

Paperdoc

If you lot are worried merely not sure if you actually have a trouble. then get-go monitoring the CPU and GPU temperatures. For the CPU, look on your mobo's CD for a utility that runs as a Windows app and lets y'all observe things like CPU temp and fan speeds, etc. For the GPU, Check for a similar characteristic either as a separate utility on the CD that came with your video bill of fare, or already built into its driver tools.

Now then the question is: what is the Normal temp for each of those, and what might exist too high? For that, post dorsum here details of what your CPU scrap is, and what video card you lot have. I can't tell you the right temps, merely I'm sure others here can. Or, post a new thread asking specifically well-nigh what are the "right" temps for each of those items.

Attempt touching it while running. When I used to have an AIO there is always a somewhat vibration that let's yous know information technology's running.

First of all....is it cooling properly?

I've had a guy tell me he puts a minor piece of fishing line in the clear tube to meet how his coolant is flowing.

Outset of all....is it cooling properly?

I've had a guy tell me he puts a pocket-size piece of fishing line in the clear tube to see how his coolant is flowing.

His AIO will most likely be solid black tubing like what's normally used.

My 21 months old libation principal seidon 120v v3 cooler is behaving curiously. The 6700k cpu is touching 60°C whenever I am starting the pc by button pressing. But if I restart later the temp is 35°C. Should I RMA it or become a skilful quality air libation instead?

Bank check to see what speed your pump is running at...You should easily be able to see this with Hardware Info, its gratuitous and yous can download it.....If information technology is running at speed greater than 1000rpm and so at least the pump is pushing water..

Information technology could be equally simple as re-applying thermal paste or you could have some sort of blockage simply expect depression to mid 30's degrees C at idle and around 50 to 60 degrees in games...

AI suite3 is showing h2o pump to be running at 2400 rpm.the thermal paste has been reapplied recently when I had to supplant the motherboard , done by a local Information technology guy.

Paperdoc

Why do y'all ask? Are you seeing high temperatures for the CPU to indicate it is not being cooled properly? Or, are y'all just wanting to know how to be certain every bit a preventive mensurate?

My 21 months one-time cooler master seidon 120v v3 cooler is behaving curiously. The 6700k cpu is touching 60°C whenever I am starting the pc past button pressing. Simply if I restart afterward the temp is 35°C. Should I RMA it or become a proficient quality air libation instead?

Jumping to 60 degrees at start might exist normal...More important is temps at Idle and at load...Mid l'south to threescore'southward in gaming and under fourscore' degrees in Prime95 or Aida64 should mean CPU is okay...

Paperdoc, I have my MB & PSU replaced recently as MB was malfunctioning. I sent both the PSU and MB back to company and they gave me the replacement. Now, earlier I never used to monitor temps , which I now do. I take an uncanny feeling of damaging my pc as I practice a lot editing and vfx works through information technology, and it is a kind of lifeline for me.

If you are worried but not sure if you lot really have a trouble. then starting time monitoring the CPU and GPU temperatures. For the CPU, await on your mobo's CD for a utility that runs as a Windows app and lets you discover things like CPU temp and fan speeds, etc. For the GPU, Check for a like feature either as a carve up utility on the CD that came with your video carte du jour, or already built into its driver tools.

Now then the question is: what is the Normal temp for each of those, and what might be too high? For that, postal service back hither details of what your CPU chip is, and what video menu you accept. I tin't tell you the correct temps, merely I'1000 sure others hither can. Or, post a new thread asking specifically well-nigh what are the "correct" temps for each of those items.

Paperdoc, I am monitoring the temps, and as I told before, my cpu is 6700k iv GHz, and constant threescore°C cannot be normal. Why do I accept to restart everytime to become back to 35°C? All I want to know what this blueprint indicates for the time to come of my pc?

MERGED QUESTION
Question from adshidi : "CPU heats upwardly at the start, but cools down later restart"

I have a simple thing to know from your experiences. That is - a 6700k cpu sitting on a asus maximus lath with an AIO cooler(seidon 120v) atop is hitting sixty°C at the outset and continuing the heat unless I restart it. After restart it is measuring a normal 35°C . Is it a potential unsafe situation or should I ignore information technology?

Should BIOS be updated? Is the libation culprit? Trouble in CPU? How do I know?

The pc is only 23 months old. I already had to RMA the PSU and MB, because the pc was booting up only display was blank & fans weren't spinning. The respective companies gave me new parts a month back and it was installed by an IT guy . I never used to monitor temp which I at present practise. I have a suspicion that cpu heat might be the reason for it.

60'C is not hot
if the fans are working on the aio, then all should exist good
Bios should always exist updated
E'er can be software problem with the programme you lot are measuring it with.

But update the BIOS if the update is designed to fix the issue you are having. Every time y'all update the BIOS y'all risk bricking your lath.

Yes Grugbag, I e'er am wary to update bios, mine is 1701 and latest is 3801, and none talks about heating upshot.

A curious problem.

1. 60c. is not unsafe. The processor will slow down or shut off if it detects a dangerous temperature.
That is around 100c.

2. At idle, I wait to see 10-15c. over ambient. 35c. looks almost right.
The question is why does it take a restart to get this.

3. Your trouble may be that the pump is temperature controlled. It should, I remember, be given full voltage from the start.

iv. Exercise not update the bios unless there is a fix for this consequence. A bios flash failure can exist nasty to recover from.

Geofelt, I agree with you on all points. The question is , should I vary my h2o pump controll from bios? Currently information technology is at "disabled", other options are PWM and DC

But AI suite3 is showing the pump to exist at 2400 rpm constant speed.

PWM volition be a iv pin connector which manages speed past Pulse Width Modulation.
DC is a three pin control which reduces speed by lowering voltage from 12v. to something less.

I am guessing that disabled simply means no speed management and the pump is running at total capability.
I call up you lot accept it correct to let the pump go at full 2400 rpm.

The second function of the equation is the fan speeds of the radiator.
Are they running at full speed?

I meet your BIOS is extremely old, and although something may not be mentioned doesn't hateful it hasn't been fixed.
As well much scare mongering here about bios updating. If yous are capable of updating the bios, I would.
Too don't forget, the bios will protect yous from the 200 bugs built into the Intel Compages.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from adshidi : "My 6700k CPU is touching 70°C when idle"

I ve been monitoring estrus with speccy, HW monitor, AI suit - all of them point upward of 65°C ar idle. Sometimes touching 85°C and when the temp rises the fans speed up notoriously one the CPU works upwards above 40% in Job Manager. Though my computer is 21 months old I had to supersede my PSU and motherboard a month agone as for some reason the motherboard was declining. It was booting upward but fans and monitor was not responding. I sent both the PSU & MB to the corresponding companies & they replaced them. I never used to monitor temp. Now I do it. And it is giving me worries. The funny office is, whenever I restart my reckoner the the estrus comes down to around 35°C. I have CM seidon 120v AIO cooler installed on the CPU, and the thermal paste is also reapplied during the installation of the new MB. The libation apparently is working fine as the blue lite on the pump is visible and the pipes are are too vibrating , also in AI suite h2o pump is showing 2400 rpm constant speed. Whenever I open up the reckoner by pressing the button, the QR code on my asus MB is displaying twoscore, but later restarting the code turns into AO. Some other matter is that the new MB that I take received has BIOS 1701 on information technology while asus site shows many updates after 1701. The latest one being 3801. I want to know from you guys, will updating BIOS solve the heating issue, or should I besides transport the cooler for a checking at the company? I go on hearing horror stories regarding BIOS update, so I have to muster up a lot of courage to practice then.
Though I live in a hot and humid region and my room is non air-conditioned either, 65 to 70 degree at idle is still a lot of temp. I am non a gamer and I don't demand to over clock my cpu. I need to edit a lots of videos and do vfx works. If this calculator gives in I won't be able to buy another one readily. So I am seeking your help. There are many wise and knowledgeable persons in this forum. Promise, someone volition show me the right way.
Followings are specs of my reckoner. - CPU Intel 6700k. MB - Asus Maximus Eight Rangers(LGA 1151). GPU - MSI 1060 6 GB. RAM - CORSAIR 16 GB 3000 MHz. SSD - Samsung 250 GB. HDD - WD 2TB 5400 rpm. AIO cooler - Libation Master Seidon 120 V. (likewise have a LG DVD writer installed which is also non working properly even later one replacement)

Yes that's very worrying. Are you sure the thermal paste is applied properly? Or peradventure the Oestrus Sink isn't placed properly. Have you tried a different monitoring software like MSI Afterburner or CPU-Z?

Touch the AIO radiator to check how hot it is. If it isn't hot enough, it means theres a gap in the coolant circulation and the liquid coolant within the AIO is not transferring estrus (has stagnated).

Practice y'all take whatsoever air cooler lying around???

I didn't replaced the MB myself as I have never washed it before. Instead I have hired a guy who replaced it while I was present. As far as I remembered, the paste was applied properly. I am wondering why it is behaving right but after restarting? As far as radiator is concerned it is remaining absurd.

I didn't replaced the MB myself as I accept never washed information technology before. Instead I have hired a guy who replaced it while I was present. Equally far as I remembered, the paste was applied properly. I am wondering why it is behaving correct only afterwards restarting? As far as radiator is concerned it is remaining cool.

I think the problem might exist in the thermal paste application. The radiator shouldn't exist absurd when the flake is at 70'C.

The mobo lawmaking xl is indicating that your pc is returning from sleep/Hibernate land (Default shutdown in Win10). The error code isn't the problem.

Ok tin can you go into the BIOS and see if yous CPU is overclocked?

I hardly empathise this BIOS lingo every bit I don't frequent this space. As per your suggestions I went to bios and saw that cpu core/enshroud voltage is pegged at 1.264v, DRAM at one.200v, cpu VCCIO at 0.976v, CPU system agent at 1.080v, PCH cadre at 1.008v CPU standby at 0.975v. There are many other options all of which are resting at auto. Does that suffice?

The problem persists. Upwardly of 60°C at starting the computer and standing to be so unless I restart. After restarting, the temp is normal at 35°C. Is the futurity of the mechine at stake? Someone should come with a solution.

The pump is either not plugged in, or has failed...(happens often enough with AIOs, more than often than most want to acknowledge)

The radiator being absurd tells yous nothing warm is flowing thru it..

The problem persists. Upward of 60°C at starting the estimator and standing to exist so unless I restart. After restarting, the temp is normal at 35°C. Is the future of the mechine at pale? Someone should come with a solution.

Do this:

Option 1:
Get into the BIOS setting -> Load default settings (F5) -> Save and restart
Information technology should work if you CPU was overclocked as well much and cool your CPU down:
Pick 2:
Call the service guy to cheque the AIO and become a good air cooler.

That's it, I don't come across anything else to exist the problem. It might be the BIOS settings that could cause this but the chances are pretty lean.

I will endeavour it for certain and thank you very much to take your precious time out just to help me. I will mail service whatever may come of it.

geofelt , my cpu fan is at1000rpm. I chassis fan at 1100 rpm, another chassis fan was spinning and stopping few days back, but now spinning at 500rpm

Paperdoc

OK, I searched the web for normal operating temps and max temps for your Intel 6700K CPU. This folio

http://www.buildcomputers.net/cpu-temperature.html

says information technology idles up to 35C, "normal" is 53 to 70C, and Intel's recommended max is 72C. That last is bourgeois - the internal Intel protection systems will not throttle the CPU until significantly higher than that.

In many forum posts people advise 60C is just fine, 70C should be near the max for heavy employ, and over 80C is a bit also loftier. Many have seen close to 100C during heavy gaming only considered that too high and worked on improvements to cooling. Ane thread affiche told a story of changing his cooling system considering of temp worries and improving it until he was very satisfied that it ran at 60C even when working hard.

OP, your organization can run at 35C just after first-upwardly with no real load on information technology - that is normal. It gets upward to 60C when gaming only rarely exceeds that. During that performance the rad fan speeds are non maxed out, indicating that the mobo automatic CPU temperature control arrangement believes that is a perfectly acceptable operating temperature AND that at that place is reserve cooling chapters if the temperature starts to ascent further.

It appears your CPU is operating at normal and adequate temperatures. Practise not look it to stay at the 35C value you see only when it is at minimal workload.

Paperdoc, know my gratitude for working hard for me. Yesterday I was editing on premier pro and the temp touched 98°C. My heart sank. I immediately restarted the pc and opened premier pro again. Initially information technology touched 70°C, only then gradually it came downward to beneath 40°C, and I heaved a sigh of relief. I am baffled past it. If there was any cooler outcome it wouldn't have shown this duality. Please tell me if I should update the BIOS. Mine is 1701, and the latest on asus site shows 3801. Many people brash me non to tinker with bios without proper knowledge, even asus transmission states that the bios update could turn out to be unsafe. I demand guidance. I am as well not sure if I should ship the cooler for a RMA. But there is something wrong in the organization. Your help will go a long way. Thanks once once again. May y'all have a prosperous life.

What you describe recently (and maybe earlier) looks like intermittent failure of the cooling organization. This could be a result of loose connections, so check those for both the pump unit of measurement and the rad fans. For each, unplug its connector to the mobo header (plus any connection to Splitters or such), then re-connect. Do this several times, in case there is oxidation on the contacts that will be scraped off. Cheque to be sure they are re-continued securely, and that nothing else was disturbed while you lot were working.

Another affair that can cause this is loss of the fluid in the AIO cooler water loop. If some of it is lost y'all can get big air bubbles trapped in the loop. Specially if there is air in the pump itself, information technology may not actually pump annihilation around the loop even though information technology is running. The pump in this state is said to be "air-bound". Often shutting the organisation down and re-starting can move the bubble in the pump out so that it can work once again when re-started. Perhaps ask Tech Support at Libation Master if they can recommend the proper way to check for lost loop fluid and re-fill up it if necessary.

Hi, paperdoc, thanks mate, this sounds very convincing to me. Tomorrow primeval I shall contact the cooler chief service middle, and I shall post the updates.
