Help please,
I have a corsair h100i gtx v2 cpu cooler mounted in push on top of my h440 tower. It is only about 1.5 years old and has been used solely for gaming. Recently the numbers coming from corsair link monitoring software shows the pumps rpms all over the place. Normally during gaming sessions I run on performance settings I get anywhere from 1000rpm to 1700rpm on the pump which is definitely lower then it used to be. My pump temp sits at 45-50c, my cpu temps 35-40c all reasonable. After about an hour the temps start to climb pump goes to 60c cpu hit mid 50s. When I check my pump rpms there down to 440rpm and they dont go any higher till i exit out of the game and restart the computer. If i switch to quiet performance the pump goes down to 0 then occasionly will climb to 400rmp. It wiil then bounce all over the place 0, 400, 880, 0 550, 0 etc. My question or concern could this be the start of my pump failing? Or could this be another issue? It really makes no sense to me as I sit here and write this on idle the pump is at 1300rpm temp on the rad is 40c on performance settings. Things appear to be fine but as soon as I start a game things go all wacky. Do you think re-applying thermal paste might help or again its a pump problem. Any help that i can get would be much appreciated. Just to note I have used other monitoring software to rule out it being a corsair link issue, thanks in advance! I didnt mention my fans are on balanced mode and run 1500-2200rpm.
