Hello, I just put together my new pc and followed the instructions on installing the H50. I am using the back fan as intake blowing cool air into the radiator. My idle temps are about 55-60c and when running a game the temps went up to 90c. Im wondering if the pump is even working? Thanks in advance for any help.

Ok guys im back, the h50 pump was not operating while plugged into a particular fan connector on the motherboard. Reseated and plugged the pump into a different 4 pin connector and booted up and instantly heard liquid moving. Idle temps are way lower now! Thanks for the help!

The H50 is cheap for a reason. It's radiator is too small to dissipate any meaningful heat. You buy a nice cpu and a bottom scraping cooler. A Hyper 212 EVO is cheaper and would work better.
