re: PC Discussion - Gaming, Performance and Enthusiasts

It acted up again around 3am this morning, rebooted and wouldn't start up. I shut it off and let it rest for a couple of hours. Since starting it up it's been running at ~38-41 degrees and the H100i temps have gone down from the mid-50's to 32 degrees. Maybe I'll get lucky and it was just acting up and needed a break?

I haven't attempted to play The Witcher 3 and long-duration sessions have really been what's taxed it, but I may try playing short sessions throughout the day and continue to monitor the temps. If I start having problems again I may take it in to have it looked at.

The fans are acting as exhaust fans; I do get a good bit more airflow coming out of the rear fan at the top of the case than I do the front.

I've blown out everything but the radiator, so I might give that a shot too just to be on the safe side.

I've had a question about my fan setup and was wondering what your thoughts are. I currently have a Corsair 760T with 2 front intake fans, 1 rear exhaust fan, and then the Corsair H100i is connected to 4 fans mounted at the top of the case acting as an exhaust. I'm not familiar with the benefits of positive/negative air pressure setups and stuff, but do you think running the fans mounted to the top of the case as intake fans as well and only using the rear fan as the exhaust would work better? Would that be more of a "positive pressure" setup or something?

In any case, I'm continuing to monitor temps and have my fingers crossed that this doesn't turn into anything serious.

Appreciate the help.

EDIT: Google seems to suggest possible impeller separating from shaft in the pump, which would mean the pump is "working" but not moving liquid. Apparently that's a thing that happens to those pumps. So RMA might be the next step.

Thanks, is there any way to determine whether or not it's moving liquid like it should?
