Hydro model red light and grinding sound during operation.
Hydro model red light and grinding sound during operation.
I just relocated and started setting up my PC. When it powered on, the Corsair H100i lights turned red along with the fans, and it was producing a loud noise. It seems something might have been damaged during the move or there could be an obstruction inside the cooler. A bit of help would be really useful. I believe everything else is okay. I've attached a video for reference. IMG-0539.mov
I’m having trouble downloading the video for review, possibly due to an air bubble in your pump and low power. I suggested turning off the PC and adjusting the front to help move the air back into the radiator. I checked online and Corsiar noted that solid red lights mean a failed pump, but this doesn’t seem likely given the timing of the issue.
Noisy pump indicates serious issues; likely beyond repair. Still covered by warranty? Check the details.
For my Corsair H100I, the red light indicates the CPU temperature is extremely high, suggesting an issue with the cooler. Would you like me to remove the cooler and inspect it for any damage? Also, check whether the fan blades are making contact with the cooler.
I'll test it and check how it performs. The clip mainly features a grinding sound.
I won’t take it for granted. Let me check for alternatives. Any suggestions you have?
I haven’t attempted to take it off yet, but it seems the fans aren’t getting any use.
Adjust the PC setup slightly, bubbles should come out from the pump area. this should resolve the issue.
