Hello everyone, I'm dealing with a rather unusual problem.
The water level in my LEPA system dropped excessively, causing my computer to run at an extremely slow clock speed, around 0.2 Ghz. Before realizing what was happening, the CPU overheated and everything stopped working.
My watercolor unit became very inflated and extremely hot. I disassembled it, refilled it with water, applied fresh thermal paste, and restarted the computer—everything worked again, maintaining a comfortable 35° idle temperature.
What's peculiar is that the water circulation has stopped completely. I can see a tiny bubble moving slightly at startup, but after that, nothing happens. Still, the temperature remains stable. The pump now makes an unusual sound.
I filled it as much as possible.
I'm confused—shouldn't overheating occur if the water isn't moving? Even during intensive rendering or heavy CPU tasks, the temperatures stay normal.
What do you think? Have you encountered similar behavior before? Should I consider changing the water cooling system even though the temps are still within acceptable ranges?

It shouldn't disappear from a sealed environment, indicating a more serious issue.
If sufficient water or coolant escaped, the pump could have been compromised.

When the loop is completely filled with no air (perfect condition), you won't be able to tell if the coolant is circulating. If it wasn't moving, your temperatures would rise rapidly. What's more worrying is that your water level is decreasing gradually. Is there a leak somewhere?
