Several days ago I started noticing a prominent grinding sound coming through my bequiet case, which would stop if I either restarted, or slept, my computer. Temperatures seems fine, in the mid 40's during these events. Today, my PC seems to be running it's fans at 100% and temperatures of my 9900K are in the 100-110 degrees range, even though the machine is at idle.
One of the connectors, the one right above the fill port, is too hot to touch for more then 3 seconds or so. The radiation, and all other ports are either warm, or cool to the touch. The block/pump itself is warm, but not hot.
Obviously the unit is failing, which seems odd for a 2 year old piece of machinery, and I'm very much regretting moving away from big air to a large AIO. It seems as if the pump has died entirely, and simple convection, a large radiator and full bore NF-A12x25's are the only thing keeping the cpu cool.
No wires are loose, no connectors are unplugged. Cooler was working well yesterday.
Any suggestions or help would be very appreciated, I'm concerned for the longevity of my components.
