Hello,
I just installed my Alphacool Eisbaer pro aurora 240, but I dont think the pump is working?
The pump is making zero noise, I cant see any movement inside through the glass of the pump and I feel zero vibration when I touch it. The PC is of course overheating after a few minutes, and I cant figure out what is wrong.
The sleeved 3-pin connector from the pump is connected to the 4-pin CPU fan connector on the motherboard.
After a few minutes when I touch the OUT tube I can feel it is getting hot inside.
The RPM on the pump is zero, a random number, zero, a random number and so on every other second.
Edit:
I am now quite sure that the pump is not working correctly.
1. I only connected the pump 12V 3-pin connector to the included controller, and the controller to the PSU. My idle temperature is roughly 65 degrees, and under a bit of load it goes up to 99 degrees.
2. I disconnected the pump and started my computer, and I see the same temperature. It is now starting to idle around 65 degrees. It is maybe a tad bit more sensitive now when I do any task.
I have tried to turn my computer in every direction to see if it would get things going, but nothing is happening.
I have undervolted and set a limit on the wattage to the cpu, and I reckon this is what is keeping it from overheating.
