Crosshair V + Corsair H100 PROBLEM!! >.<

[Retired]

Here is thr email I just sent Corsair.

Hi, installed the H100 this pass Sunday and everything was working fine. I ran a few stress tests to see what temps I was getting with the new H100. CPU temp was at steady 38* while using Prime95 for 30mins. Computer ran perfect for the rest of the day.

Today however it booted up fine when I got home, started up Folding @ Home & FireFox then the PC shut down. I turned it on, nothing on screen then it shut down on its own. Pressed clear cmos button, boots, says to recover BIOS, pressed F1 then it froze up. Restart nothing. Unplugged everything, took out the GPU, RAM, PSU Connectors, re-assembled everything then I get a CPU Fan error, press F1, then it freezes in the BIOS. The 2 radiator fans are working, the light on the pump is on, the fans slow down/ go faster when I press the button on the pump. This has been happening all night even when connecting my old Zalman fan back up. I have the molex connected to the psu & the other cable to the cpu fan header on the motherboard. Someone suggested that perhaps the H100 had a bad pump and fried my CPU. I really hope this is not the case 😞

My PC specs are below
CPU - AMD Phenom II X6 1055T @ stock 2.8Ghz
Motherboard - ASUS Crosshair V Formula
Memory - G.SKILL Sniper 16GB
GPU - AMD Radeon HD 6990
HDD -Seagate Barracuda 1TB
PSU - CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX850 V2 850W
Case - COOLER MASTER Storm Sniper SGC-6000-KXN1-GP

Please contact with any info regarding this problem. Thank you.

So what do you guys think....

Tough to say. Could have been a pump issue or the installation could have tweaked and damaged the board. Or it could be a coincidence completely unrelated to the H100 or installation. I don't suppose you know anyone that would allow you to swap components to determine the source of the problem?
