hi guys, I have been away for about 4 days and had my PC shut down. i just tried to turn it on and I'm getting a CPU fan warning. then the temp rises very fast to a critical level.

I have cooler in my signature the fans are running and everything seems to be plugged in. i don't see any leaks... any idea what might be causing this issue?
 
try connecting the SATA power connector of the Unit to another port.. the pump isn't running thats why the fan problem reported. (pump report directly to the CPU fan header).
 
okay I tried a few different sata connectors. I'm getting power because if I leave it unplugged the fans won't spin. does this mean my cooler is done??
 
aren't the fans attached to the unit?.. the fans attached to the unit and the unit itself work with the Sata power.. the 3 pin connector that out of the unit its only to report the unit speed to the motherboard and avoid the Fan error.
 
yea it seems the pump crappd out...Corsair is sending me and express RMA...

Thank you for your help and advice...
