Had this PC for around 6 months with no issues. I was playing Overwatch last night & my PC started becoming loud. Never had this issue so I just turned it off then went to sleep. Today I tried turning it on & it mentioned something about cpu temperatures being too high. I went & removed the cpu cooler to take some pictures hoping someone here could help me. After putting the cpu cooler back & trying to turn it on again it now says cpu fan speed error instead of temperature being high. I'm using Corsair H100i cooler if it matters.. Wondering if it's something to do with the thermal paste. I Google searched for solutions many of them say to change the cpu fan settings from monitor to ignore. Still didn't work after changing it. Would appreciate it if someone could help me out.. Pictures in the link. http://m.imgur.com/a/TTaEV

I think it's working.. I have it plugged into the cpu_fan slot & the fans are spinning loudly. I managed to get pass the bios & when I checked on HWMonitor I had over 90 degrees for my Intel graphics card. My 1070 card only had 20-30 degrees. I'm ignorant at these things sorry..
 
At 90C for the CPU. I would think there is something wrong with the water cooler. Perhaps a failed pump or clogged lines. Are both lines warm, the radiator, air blowing out of the radiator?

As it is under warranty. Give Corsair support a call. Just google "corsair support" and you'll come up with the number right away.

Yeah that's not right, the pump itself should have an rpm signal wire, plug it into one of the fan headers and see what speed it's running at, or touch it and see if you can feel it vibrating, sounds to me like it's no longer pumping fluid.

Do you have another cooler you can try, like the stock cooler.

I sent in a ticket to Corsair support. And the pumps feel like they're vibrating. Pumps not hot or cold. There's air from the radiator as well. It makes this water squirting sound once every 20-30 seconds.
