Water cooler pump broken?
Water cooler pump broken?
I purchased an Arctic accelerero hybrid iii-120 yesterday, installed it, and the fans are working but the pump isn't. The temperature stays around 50 degrees regardless of fan speed, and the pump doesn't make any sound or vibration. I've connected the pump to a Molex adapter on the PSU, and both cooler tubes are cold. Any suggestions?

If the temps dont go high as foribben sun in dark souls it's just that the pump isnt loud
I get 50 degrees stable when i'm just browsing the internet but as soon as I start a game it jumps to 95 in about 2 seconds
Yeah the pump isnt working try hitting it sometimes xD ( dont be rude ) just to see if something inside is interlocking.
Don't tell somebody to hit the freaking PUMP.
Return it for a refund or a new unit.
When temperatures don't rise as expected for the forbidden sun in Dark Souls, the pump remains quiet.

If the temperatures don't rise as they should for a forbidden sun in Dark Souls, it's probably because the pump isn't loud enough.
I usually get around 50 degrees while browsing the internet, but once I start a game it jumps to 95 within about two seconds.
The pump seems to be malfunctioning; I tried hitting it sometimes (just kidding) to check if something is stuck.

I issued a refund for a CPU cooler and some extra cash (they didn’t have a GPU cooler available). I secured the CPU cooler with zip ties to the GPU and am seeing stable idle temperatures around 30 degrees. The temperature remains quite unstable, dropping to about 80 degrees when idle, but it recovers quickly—around 30 degrees again almost instantly after quitting a program.

If temperatures don’t rise as they should in dark souls under fierce sun, it’s likely the pump isn’t functioning properly.
I see a steady 50 degrees while browsing, but once I start a game it spikes to 95 within seconds.
The pump seems to be off—trying to hit it occasionally just to check if something is stuck.
Don’t tell anyone to press the pump.
Return it for a refund or a replacement.
I don’t want to hit it against the wall, just some passive touches with my finger.
In fact, hitting the pump directly is a suggested approach. This should be carried out while rotating the radiator (removing it from the case first). The aim is to push out any trapped air bubbles that might be leading to a pump airlock. So, sorry to inform you, but yes, you can tap or gently hit the pump.
I adjusted the zip ties on the cooler and realized I usually feel around 36 degrees during gaming (PUBG). That happened after my system restarted, so my temperatures might rise even more later.
