The only minor problem I'm still having after installing the LCS is that everytime I start the computer, it gives me a false error message: "Liquid cooler fan not detected." By hitting the F1 key I'm able to bypass this & boot up to Windows.

I love how the Omen Control software that came with the computer allows you to visually monitor the temperature of your CPU by the control varying the color of the LED lights on the front of the computer (ie., blue is cool & red is warm). I use the computer for video editing in a 3rd floor apartment that often gets quite warm so this helps give me peace of mind.

After finding the right "sweet spot" for finger tightening, the LCS works great & the CPU temp on my i7-7700 processor has never exceeded 75 degrees Celcius with full load (room temperature 72 degress Fahrenheit), which is about 7 degrees C lower than when I was using the air cooling system that came with the computer. My LCS (a new HP labeled model made by Asetek that I purchased on ebay) mounting instructions merely said to "tighten screw nuts with fingers or screwdriver," but I found that if the screws are overtightened even a little bit, even by using fingers, the computer will not post when started and will cycle power on/off over and over again until the power cord is disconnected.

Some models require using a screw driver to tighten while others need only finger tightening, and even then, not very much. Apparently there is a wide degree of variance in the amount of tightening that should be used when securing an LCS to a motherboard with the mounting screws.

Update on my liquid cooling system install problem: After many weeks of troubleshooting, I was finally able to pinpoit the main cause of the problem that I was having after installing the closed loop LCS onto the processor plate. Īny advice that anyone could give to help me get the cooler to work with my Omen computer would be greatly appreciated. When I remove the LCS & reinstall the air cooler, the computer works fine.Īnd here is a link to the LCS I bought. I also applied the right amount of thermal paste & tightened the mounting bolts so that the LCS is attached securely to the processor plate. I don't think it's a power supply issue because the pump only uses 3 watts & I have a 500 watt power supply. When I go into the bios, I see that there isn't any way to adjust fan settings so I suspect the bios is what is causing the problem. It's only when the LCS is mounted onto the processor plate that it refuses to operate & the computer won't start. I know that the cooler & fan are working because they both work fine when they are plugged into the connectors when the LCS isn't mounted onto the processor plate (& in the HP setup utility in the bios, it shows the liquid cooler fan speed at 1012 rpm, so it knows that it is there). It would turn on for a split second, then turn off, then turn on, etc., until I had to unplug it to gert it to turn off. Unfortunately, once I installed the cooler & its fan, the computer would not post.

The Omen motherboard ( Thimphu-K, LGA 1151 socket) has the 2 connectors that are required for this (1 pump fan & 1 cpu fan connector) & the socket size was compatible (115x series) so I thought it would go smoothly. Rather than return the new cooler, I decided to remove the air cooling heatsink & fan from the Omen desktop & replace it with the LCS. I thought that the liquid cooler had gone bad so I purchased a new one on ebay (which was advertised to fit the Phoenix Envy & looks identical to the one that was already in my computer, including the HP logo & Asetek brand stamp), but I later realized that the computer just needed a good cleaning & the pump was fine. I also own an HP Phoenis Envy h9-1440t desktop that came with a closed loop AIO liquid cooling system (made by Asetek but has HP logo) installed on the processor. I recently purchased a new Omen desktop 870-244.
