Both hoses should be relatively the same temp if it's working properly
That's a good point. I think that liquid coming out of the radiator should be at least slightly cooler than liquid going in. Maybe not an obvious amount.
But if there is no pump at all then should be hot in and out. So maybe the rad is plugged?
My MB is Asus x-99 A ii. It comes with software called Fanexpert to coordinate the fans and pump.
Fanexpert is showing my pump running constantly at 2460rpm, which seems really fast, but its very quiet.
It this a reasonable speed?
Second, I assume one day the pump will fail and either my core will overheat and shut down or I will get a warning, correct?
Nowhere in the manual did it say that it will do this, so can I trust that it will, or can the pump just fail and fry the CPU cores?
I guess my real question is, what do you have to do to actually wreck your CPU?
