Quick question for you guys. I recently had a prebuilt pc delivered as I'm not the most tech savvy person and everything else works fine but the water cooling system does not seem to be running at all when I boot up the system which had led me to believe that the pump is switched off or something although I can't seem to see a way to switch it on. What exactly am I looking for?

It's a closed loop Alphacool DC-LT Ceramic and as for the pics these are the best I could muster, my phone camera is dogshit.




The display at the front of the pc is dead, nothing lit up and the liquid doesn't appear to be moving at all inside. The cabling on it is super tidy and everything is tucked so I'm not really confident with dissecting it all in poor lighting. Also I just checked and the fans are running, there's just no movement in the liquid or display.

Sorry for the double post but should the liquid be moving in the tubes or stationary?

There is movement in the liquid in the reservoir but the tubes themselves don't show any movement at all.

If it looks like there's flow in the res, then it should be cooling. What are your temps like?

Between 28 and 35c when idling although I'm a little scared to push it hard if there's a problem with the cooling.
