Could you tell me the specifications of the 2 types of scews ? I couldn't fit any of my screw driver

Thanks for the video. The little screws use a pz1 screwdriver. If you use a regular phillips head screwdriver, be very careful not to strip the #2 x 5/16" sheet metal screws as I did. You can refill the cooler without taking the brass heat plate off. Between the two hoses are two screws that secure the hoses to the top cover via a bottom cover. Undo those two screws after first removing the led cover, and the hoses will pop right out. They have two rubber o-rings on them as well. I'm going to use a 60/40 mix of distlled water and propylene glycol/hoat to fill after flushing with distilled water a few times.

I have the same Corsair model and the pump is JAMMED. I don't have time to go through all that. Hey Corsair, why is there debris In the first place? CORSAIR = CRA_! COMPLETE JUNK. ONLY ONE YEAR AND IN TO THE GARBAGE.

How to refill water

I done this today and my copperplate on the inside was really dirty , mostly in the center full with some white hard substance , i scraped it gently with some toothpicks until most of it was gone . After that i used a very fine knife to go in every cooling fin . Cleaning with water and dishwasing soap for about 10 minutes . go with the fins to outside not opposite , that was not realy working . After this i used coppercleaner also for 10 minutes until mostly clean , this works a bit better i think . After that was done i cleaned again with dishwascher soap to get the coppercleaner out everywhere , rinse and clean serval times over . Next i tried to clean the radiator with deminerlised water until no more white flakes came out . Refill and put everything correctly togheter . waterleak tested by shaking the radiator and no leaks found . Now i have setup my pc again and i do not need to hit the tubes anymore to get the pump going anymore and i also did a PRIME 95 torture small FFT s max heat test and i see the results . Normaly i get fast to 100 Celcius , but now i only reaching 60 maximun Celcius at 140 watt core i7 8700K processor . Even the idle temps are half of wwhat it used to be , before 40 Celcius now 20 Celcius . THANK YOU John Soupir , i do not need to go and by a new watercooler now :) .

Got mine used, didn't work. Took it apart and the crud was keeping the pump from spinning. However the screws were all stripped so someone had been in there before, possibly? not sure cause the original coolant was still there. Anyway its missing the white pin that holds the impeller stable. Not sure if it was lost, or got eaten by the impeller. Does anyone know where to get a replacement shaft pin? I know its a long shot.. Got it working with a metal nail, but it rattles nasty. Thanks for posting!

did you refill it with water or mineral oil?

I found it difficult to remove this copper plate... besides the rotor filament broke... L2. I don't know where is the part that needs to be soldered

Do you know what are the size of those small screws on copper plate?

You can take the top electrical board up and dont remove the bottom circut board cause its wired to the pump. unscrew the two black screws near the tubes so the plastic cover that holds the pipes in the pump will come loose and then you can separate the pump from the tubes.

Sounds like a young Christian Slater talking...LOL.

should have shown the debris

Your Khool John I have an H75 it just dies on me but bios says the pump is still pulling rpms so hmmm I'm curious about changing the water they say it's sealed unit do u know about changing the water please? thanks tons 100 out of 10 one like and sub and comment boss o7.

Amazing video, had the same seized pump, held it upright and recycled the fluid 3-4 times to get all the particles out. Was a ton of sand like particles and a couple big hard ones. Great video!

My cpu under the load gets super hot and cooler is cold. Is it pump? I got the same pump. Thanks

you dind't check the coldplate fins ? What if they are clogged too ?

if you cut the hose to remove it from the radiator what is the best way to reattach it? do you have to heat the hose up and push it on the nipple? when you took the 4 screws out of top cover to expose the circuit board is there a temp sensor there that we have to watch out for when lifting the board away from the pump housing?

Under the circuit board is a drainplug i think you could use it to refill the pump. And you can lose the stuck motor without draining the cooling fluid, by turning it from behind the motor. Also under the circuit board is a small plastic piece attached to the motor axle.

Okay friend. Your video was the defining moment where I knew my 10 year old or so h80i had a non-spinning pump. Just have to tell ya this little story. Mine must be the first version because the copper plate is rectangular rather than round, and once that plate comes off there is no way to get to the impeller/propeller - it's a fully sealed chunk of plastic with the motor and prop inside. Here's the weird thing - once I took off the copper plate fluid started gurgling out, just like you said it would. Thankfully I had a deep plastic dish to catch the fluid because DAMN did it stink - thin molasses brown in color. Tell you what - ever see and smell rotten Vermouth (like you make Martini's with)? Vermouth is only good for a short time after opening the bottle - no more than 30 days. Let it sit around in the cabinet for a couple years and it's the most horrible thing. The stuff that came out of my cooler looked and smelled EXACTLY like that. Makes me wonder if they used some sort of alcohol/water substance in there originally? The copper plate was very gunky & corroded. Overall the whole thing just looked and smelled to far gone to try and save it. Mounted up the regular old original Intel cooler and everything is just fine for the time being. Might go with another liquid cooler, but not the Chinese Corsair junk - don't care to have to replace the whole damn thing every 5 years or so. Thanks for your vid.

This may come in handy since my friend gave this unit for free saying it won't work but he doesn't remember why so if it's a pumping problem I will try this.

Hey bro, how did you removed the copper plate screws, can you share what tools you used?

can anybody tell me please, corsair water system, there liquid inside conduct electric current or no????

What screwdriver do we need for the copper plate? I almost made all screws blunt now.. please help!

I just cracked my H100iv2 open after it sat for 2 years not working. Mine has the same crystalized chunks that you're talking about. Must be the shitty coolant they were putting in these things. What a shame.

put the butter back in the fridge bro

Mine is i think its dead and donno how to fix it

Which version of H100i is that exactly?

Thanks, this video was the motivation i needed to open my pump and clean it out. Cpu Temps were capping around 100C prior to cleaning. After cleaning it dropped down to 45-50C. Fans now run quiet and happy, performance is back to normal. Pump is working again. Lots of debris inside. I flushed it out a few times and refilled it. If I need to open it again I will fill with either glycol or deionized/demineralized water. But this time I used standard tap water. Better then nothing and saved me from spending $$$. Cheers!

Curious why you did this instead of just RMAing it?

A suction cup of the same type used in removing a phone screen is perfect for removing the copper heat plate

Thanks for the clear and thorough video. Did you get it working in the end? How did you end up filling it?

did you notice if you would be able to change the logo i.e. put your own logo ? thanks for great video

What connector/cable powers the pump ? Is it one of the two fan connectors or the usb cord?

Well fuck Corsair, hopefully I don’t regret it but I purchased me one of those infamous, Z73 NZXT Kraken CPU Coolers with the fancy displays, it gets here tomorrow lol. Just going to sell my H100i for parts for around $30 after eBay takes the fees and all that.

Hi All! I have a success story that might help this situation. It is super sketchy and I caution you to do it at your own risk. My H100i is from 2013 and is old. After watching this video and knowing that the H100i (a closed system) has a potential for internal blockages I wondered if vibrations or percussion could loosen the blockages enough to make the pump start working again on its own. I have a percussion massage gun similar to a HyperVolt. I put on a foam ball attachment and set the massage gun to its highest intensity and massaged the CPU block while the computer was running. Within 30 seconds of the "massage" my CPU temps dropped from 105C to 30-40C. My temps have been in that normal range ever since. I wouldn't have believed it and knew the risk that vibrations could bend a pin or screw with an HDD platter but I tried it anyway and it worked. It may work for you, but again try it at your own risk.

so, a big thing here, is to take that coldplate directional flow gasket off, and clean the microfins underneath. That debris had to get trapped somewhere, and if its like my Asetek CLC in my EVGA GTX 1080 FTW Hybrid, the microfins picked up a ton of the debris, and are clogged, leading to lower flow.

Ya I’m about to recondition mine, also going to clean the microfins to make sure it’s clean. Any advice on what to refill it with? Still need to research that, lol

Does anyone know how to safely disconnect the hoses?

What's the material of the impeller in this? Looks like its a newer "metal" type? but can you confirm :)

It would help to know how you had the AIO installed? Plus i would not listen to you because you never showed if the pump worked after tinkering. If you installed the AIO vertically with the hoses at the top you deserved what you got. I have a h80i v2 with just under 4 years of use if you use the corsair link software you can set the pump to performance of quiet, i had mine set to quiet.

thanks, mine is also misbehaving.

wtf is wrong with corsair?, this is an expensive item compared to other brands but are they putting semen along with water in those AIOs?? Mine did the same thing H80i V2. Repaired it once, now it's failing again.

How did you connect external power to it?

Had two of these h100i's, both started going at around 3-years, found that tapping/jiggling the tubing, and laying the case flat seemed to buy me a few weeks+ when it started acting up.

Thanks for the video. I was just experiencing high idle temps on my 8700k setup with a v2- Mid to-high 40c with fans and pump set to extreme using icue. I was getting so frustrated that I slammed my fist down onto the top of the case. Well, it must have done something within the pump or radiator because 2min later I was idling at 30c. When all else fails, get violent!

i took the aluminum radiator out and replace it with a 360mm copper magicool radiator + 1 alphacool dc lt 120l/h pump into it, work like a champ keep my 2600x 4.35ghz 1.45volt maximum gaming temp 72 degree ( 80-100% cpu load ) and 85 degree prime95 at ambient temp around 32-35 degree in celcius

The temperature sensor on mine is doing this thing where it flashes from warning color to static color in the boot menu the temperature is 23°c/85°F but when I get to Windows and check the software it's fluctuates 100-138°f re-added thermal paste does the same thing

I got the same model how much too fill it in again would it be like half cup??

How the fuck did you unscrew the copper plate, at first I used screwdriver with a plastic handle, but the handle turned around the metal core(I've used this screwdriver with some tight screws). Then one with a metal handle, but that mistly starting slipping even with all my force

how did you refill it? I want to do the same.
