My H80i cooler appears to have developed a fault. The unit and system are 2 years old and up to now CPU temperatures have been as expected. Recently, CPU temperatures have increased to the point at which the PC will crash. I have also noticed a pulsating buzz coming from the unit, especially at high CPU load. I have found that disconnecting the PC and lying the case on its side for 5 minutes will temporarily resolve the issue. However, CPU temp will steadily increase again over a few days. It seems to get a bit worse every time I restart the system. The system is free of dust and I have checked that the cooler mounting screws are tight. Corsair Link reports that the pump and fans are working, and that the coolant is getting hot.
Does anyone please have an explanation of what is going wrong or what I can try to fix it? I have created a ticket with Corsair support but sadly, they have not responded.
