Liquid cooling Troubles?
So my computer had been running hot lately (r4)(Nothing to drastically differnt) But I woke up to the other day to the sound of a jet engine taking off (Display said it was 4000rpm but it sounded louder) felt the back radiator exaust and the fan was blowing out surprisingly cold air shut down and reboot and it makes it to windows before shutting down boot again doesn't make it past the alienware logo,this has to be a cpu pump failure right?

Hi zknurb,
First of all, what's the system model?
Also, try running an ePSA/Diagnostic test on the system, click here to view a Dell article that explains how to run this test. Let me know if you receive any errors.

I'm guessing you mean Aurora-R4.
Possibly.
Some old Asetek pumps fail or get clogged-up. Search here a bit.
IIRC, the symptoms are:
- Radiator fan at high RPMs
- One tube is really hot while the other is fairly cool.
