I need a little help on coolers. I have a corsair h60 cooler that has been running for 4 years without a problem. Today I started getting shut downs from hi cpu temps. What goes wrong with liquid coolers? The only thing I can see that may be happening is the cooler fan might be slowing down. It still seems to turn ok by hand and is pulling some air through the cooler. Frist time I have ever had a problem with one.
edit: I have cleaned everything and put new thermal compound on it, it is still getting to hot. I even shut down boinc and it will run but still too warm. reset overclocking back to normal.
Ive had the radiator get clogged with dust.
guess I could put a stock cooler on it and see what happens, but that doesn't tell me what is wrong with the cooler.
Rick, the circulating pump may be giving out. Kinda like old hearts, they just don't pump as good as they used to do
