Hello everyone, I'm facing a really strange issue.
Water level in my LEPA system went too much down, making my computer start to a very slow clock rate, like 0.2 Ghz . Before I understood what was happening, the cpu overheated and everything shut down.
My watercoling unit was really inflated and damn hot. So I took it apart, filled it with water, put some new thermal paste and started the computer, everything went fine again, nice 35° idle temp.
But what's strange is that my water is not moving anymore ! I can see a small bubble moving a bit on startup, and then nothing more. But still, the temp stays okay. The pump now makes a strange noise thought.
I really filled it as much as I could.
I really don't get it. It should overheat, the water is clearly not moving. But still even when rendering or doing some hardcore cpu things it stay in nice temps.
What do you guys think ? Have you seen that kind of behavior before ? Should I change the watercooling even if the temps are still cool ?
