Yo Whitecat! See if the pump is getting power first, try another power plug. If the pump itself is dead, you need to send it back (if under warranty), or you can try to fix it through an internet guide (maybe?) but those are closed systems, I am pretty sure you cannot (should not) try to work on them. All the standalone systems like that are use-till-they-break style all in one, vs custom ones like mine ( http://splak.net/computer/watercooled/new/IMG_0997.JPG ) |

Hey Cole! We tried another plug, didn't work. I'm guessing the pump itself is dead and unfortunately it is not under warranty D: and as you said, it is one of those closed systems :[ Can you recommend me a good water cooling kit? He only wants to cool his CPU; he has an i7something. Or will you be willing to sell a custom build one like yours? ;D Thanks Cole! ^^ |

I would check the weekend sales for newegg and such, look for sales on a replacement kit, they are $50-100. |

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6835181015 Would this suffice for just cooling an i7 CPU? I don't know anything about liquid cooling :S http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6835181017 Or would this one last longer? My brother wants one that is reliable and lasts a long time because his water cooler died out in like 1 1/2 years... is that long? As I said before, I don't know anything about water cooling D: |

The H60 and H100 you linked are both better than the H50 that he currently has, and will suffice his setup. I don't know the long term reliability of the water kits, I figure they would last more than a year or two, but who knows? If he isn't overclocked the stock cooler would suffice, the water cooler is overkill, they are equal to high end air cooling, but I understand why someone would want one, cold and quiet is nice. |

After his water cooler broke down, he installed the stock cooler and reapplied the thermal paste but his standby CPU temperature was 57C~58C, which is abnormally high. Any reason why that may be? D: He might as well get the H60 water cooling system because he isn't going to overclock his CPU and the stock cooler isn't cooling the CPU well enough. Thanks for everything, Cole!
