So I've been having CPU overheating problems. At Idle it runs Around 45-50 degrees Celsius and since the fans work fine, I'm pretty sure it's the water cooling system. The thing is though, I don't know how to be sure it isn't working, and if it isn't, I don't know how to find exactly what the problem is or how to fix it. Anybody know exactly could be wrong or how to fix it.

You'll need to include a lot more information than this.

Hardware?

What watercooling gear are you running?

That's the thing, the company I bought it from (Ibuypower) has it made specifically for there company. You can't get in anywhere accept from them. That what it's called. (I even called customer support about it) It's a pretty cheap water cooling system. If it could help, I can take a picture of it and put a link to the picture here, but I have tried quite a bit and I can't find an ACTUAL name for it.

Likely Corsair/Asetek re-branded units.

@ philo - you won't find a name for it apart from calling it an ALL-IN-ONE Liquid Cooling System.

the pump must be broken - no other way to assume anything when the pump is inside such a small housing.

your best option is to call up support and inform them of your prob. If you were one of us who'd pry open the unit - than you risk voiding your warranty mate so thas the hard fact...
