So yea the Cooler Master Seidon 240M I have on an old 1366 rig seems to be either be losing performance (or the rig is somehow running way hotter).
I've unmounted and cleaned everything, re-mounted the pump/block and blown out the radiator but I'm still getting 95C+ temps when used to be able to hold upper 70's.
Was just wondering if anyone else has had this.
I guess maybe the pump might be getting tired (this machine is has been on pretty much 24/7 since the Seidon installed maybe 4+ years ago?) but don't they usually just die then?
I'd almost be tempted to try and do a coolant change, but ... you know AIO.
I know the answer is probably to just get another AIO, but was wondering if anyone had tried messing with older units like this that still work.
