G'day people.
Okay firstly i went and brought myself a water cooler (Thermaltake CLW0223 Water 3.0 PRO)
Everything installed fine right up until i hit the power button. (8350 4.0 AMD FX)
its overheating, shutting down at something like 56°C not even making it into windows! i have tried just about everything i can think of and it seems that the pump maybe a dud! any suggestions?

Yes indeed i did. my original thought was lack of contact between the CPU and pump, but it wasn't that!
Then when on to switch around the wires, (fan and pump) i cannot hear the pump what so ever! is there a way to test it?
