If your Rok Box's liquid cooling system has the following symptoms:
- The cooler pump makes noise
- The cooler pump powers-on but the system doesn't cool
It may be required to redistribute the liquid inside your liquid cooling system, as from time to time, this liquid can settle, and therefore will not move through the cooler pump/block to cool the CPU effectively.
The easiest way to do this is to set the PC on its right side, so that the opening with the cooler/etc. is facing upwards.
Leave it sitting powered-off for at least 30 minutes to allow gravity to do its thing.
Then power the PC on, and leave it powered-on in that state for at least an hour -- if it stays powered-on without shutting down and/or the pump does not make abnormal noise, then the liquid should be properly redistributed and the PC can be set back to its normal position.
If the overheating doesn't subside, shut the PC down, and, even though this sounds crazy, flip the PC case on its head so it is upside-down.
Leave it powered-off and upside-down for at least 30 minutes.
Power it on again, and let it run for a bit, and see if the overheating subsides.
This change in orientation can help to redistribute the cooling liquid using gravity, and make the pump operate as it should.
