Sorry for the long post here and thank you in advance for providing any help.
I am a water cooling newbie and started my journey with the EK240 Hardtube kit. I got the kit at the end of September and installed it promptly and ran a leak test for ~ 26 hours with no noticeable leaks.
Great temps and no issues until today when my power shut off and on again quickly(Ice storm). Thought nothing of it and turned the computer on and started playing some games. Now it wasn’t until about an hour or two later that I could hear the computer fans even with my headphones on. So I alt+tabbed and checked temps, noticed they were around 85 degrees! Noticed the pump not going and shut everything off.
i drained the system and took the pump out and tested it outside the computer with some coolant; did not work. The unit doesn’t make any sounds at all.
Is it possible that even after the surge that only the pump would be affected and nothing else?
The mobo is a Asus Z390-I and I have 6 fans and 2 12v rgb strips. Everything else works.
