Weird question about CPU liquid cooling

Hey guys, How can I tell if my CPU liquid cooler is working? anyway to tell? like a program or something…

the temps are fine but I’m just wondering because I have too many fans in the case and usually nothing under load so…

How to tell if it’s working? I tried to touch the radiator it seems silent.

CPU temp under load will be the give away. Had a friend with a pump failure and and under load his temps would rapidly spike and thermal throttle his CPU.

i don’t have that issue even while gaming… temps are fine but I cannot hear the Radiator pump or any ticking sound from the cooler… So I was worried…

Manufacturers work very hard to make them as silent as possible.

most of them are quiet, generally if i hear noticeable sound coming from a pump or something i will tell the person they should probably replace it

Should’ve been a program that monitors it? At least my Corsair H100 did as it also let you adjust the fan curve and showed temps.

HWinfo is a free program that also shows u the cpu/gpu/etc… temps
