I think my pump broke

[Tuneman]

I had the Aquagate Mini R120mm and for some reason, when I look at ASUS probe, and speedfan, my CPU fan RPM is 0!! and the temperature goes up... Please someone tell me there is a miraculous flip of a switch solution to this problem. I am pretty sure the pins for the CPU fan on the mobo still work so I gotta think for some reason the pump just broke. I was OC'ing my system when this happened.

ASUS PL5D2

Core 2 Duo e6300

Is the fan on the radiator spinning? When you put your ear to the pump, can you hear anything? ASUS probe and such is not going to detect how you're pump is working, so I find it much more likely that the fan on the radiator has gone dead.

I dont hear the pump, the fan on the radiator is definetley spinning, that I can control also, put it higher and lower. I dont really hear the pump, I never did it with my ear right outside of my computer, I was sitting down a couple feet away from it, I'll try it now though.

Edit: Nah, I didnt hear any swishing or anything.

It's probably safe to say that the pump isn't working then and hence the reason why your temps are heading northwards.

Isn't it strange that the pump would simply shut off after a couple of days? I did try to OC a day before it died, but I dont think that would shut off the pump. Also something which is probibaly not related is that when I choose to restart windows, the computer actually shuts off for about 1 second, and then turns back on. Instead of usual when the computer acutally never turns off.

I think your finding a case of crappy-product-itis.

I hope they can somehow give me a different product, or credit. I dont want another product thats just gonna beak.

Could it possibly be that with your overclock, you're pulling more power to your CPU and not enough power is going to the pump?

Even though your PSU should be able to handle it all, try reseting you CPU to factory clocks and see if it kicks in again.

 

[Tuneman]

It could be, I'll try that, my video card does require a ridiculous 26 amp on the 12V rail(s), maybe that combined with the pump and CPU did something. But does it really pull more amps then a fan? Also I hadn't raised the voltage on the CPU yet. Its worth a shot though.

CPU is 12v, as is just about everything (hard drives, graphics card, motherboard, etc)

Does it just have a big resistor right before it that takes the 12v down to 1.4V? That confuses me.
