Hello

I was recently renovating my office and had to move my pc, when i went to turn it on after moving everything i notice my CPU temp was was almost hitting 100° so i turned it off and opened the case and let it cool down then tried running it again , when i was letting it run i touched the pump and noticed instead of it vibrating like normal it was sporadically starting and stopping

This is the water cooling kit i have in my PC :https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00LXIRASS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks

1093 rpm sounds a bit low for a pump. I would say that 1800-2000 rpm is normal for quiet mode and up around 3000 rpm for performance mode.
Sometimes stuff just break. Maybe your pump was weak already and a tiny bump from when you moved it was enough to break it fully. However if it's only 5 months old then you should just rma it.
