corsair hydro series h80i v2 idle temps with a fx 8350

It's called Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF), which is rated in thousands of hours, and is typically overestimated. Depending on the pump manufacturer and quality, pumps only have a finite number of operational hours until failure is eminent. It's not a question of 'if', it's a question of 'when'.

It's inevitable that all pumps will fail, which is the reality of liquid cooling. What you've described is a pump failure, which is a very common problem. Anyone have any ideas? Or did I really get a bad unit.On behalf of Tom's Moderator Team, welcome aboard! I get that you can't use it in conjunction with other monitoring software but dang is it slow and clunky, plus if you shrink the window the icons go crazy and then if you maximize it again they stay in their crazy places. So, I reseat the cooler and use Antec 7, it's been 3 days and I've tightened the bracket once more, SAME TEMPS! I'm taking this thing back, very unhappy with it, plus the software is HORRIBLE. I put the stock fans back on and, I can't even get 4.5 now!! Shoots past 60c in OCCT, gaming I'm at like 57c BF4. Both had great reviews but ended up horrible! Temps went through the roof. Then I pushed up to 5.1, temps were a little worse but really close to 60c under load so I thought.let's change the fans out! That should help right? I picked up 2 different sets of fans and what a bad mistake. They were OK though, not bad and I surpassed my previous clocks. Install was easy but temps weren't that great (I am almost going to blame the brackets, they kind of bend badly on the FX sockets) at around 40c idle and 55c load 4.8ghz. With my board/ps/ram I know I can go higher so I picked up the H100i. Previously running a Zalman CNPS11X Extrema and getting pretty good temps but hitting my 60c max at around 4.5Ghz on an FX-8320. I have to say, I either got a bunk unit too or I'm super not impressed with my H100i.
