Hello

I'm using a Corsair H80 cpu water cooler for my i7 2700k.
I've never experienced problems with it before. Today, when I booted my pc up and started playing a game, I noticed the game getting very slow after a few minutes of playing.
After some research, I figured out that my cpu clock speed was getting reduced to about 800mhz.
I decided to look at the cpu temperature and... boom 98°C. (Fans were running at max speed)

So, the only thing I can think of is that maybe the pump in the H80 broke.
If anybody has any other ideas or suggestions on what I could do, I'd be very happy if you posted them.

Thanks in advance
 
How long ago did you get it? Is everything still plugged in alright? It does sound like your pump stopped working, either because it broke or isn't receiving power. It may still be under warranty, which Corsair is very good about.

I bought the cpu and the cooler about 1 years and 2 months ago. I checked and everything is still plugged in.
Seems like I might really have to get another one :p
