I came home today and turned on my computer. Noticing how unusually slower it was I looked over to my PC window and the mobo showed 99c.

The day before that everything was running smoothly.

I cleaned up my H100i and dusted it off. Turned it back on. Now it was at a still fairly high 60c - 80c idle. I checked Corsair Link and the icon for the water pump was flashing red.


Before getting a new CPU cooler I just wanted to confirm if it is a pump failure.

Or is there anything I could with my current water cooler?

SPECS
i5 4690k @ base clock
H100i GTX
MSI R9 390
MSI Z97 Gaming 5 Motherboard
16 gb RAM
650 W PSU

*EDIT*: This is the second time I've encountered this issue. The first time, it somehow solved itself before whilst troubleshooting. I heard some noise come out of, what sounded like the H100i's pump, and the temperature went down

But it doesnt seem to be solving itself this time :(

You want to confirm if it is a pump failure. It may have been installed improperly. If icon for the water pump was flashing red it may be wired by the installer improperly and isn't running. Try reading the instructions and retracing the wiring.
