So where the pump connected there was only 2 very very tiny wires going to the brushless motor itself, it cycled the fan twice but then just stopped arbitrarily. Those two tiny leads are all it had, but this motor itself has a broken connection somewhere inside the spool preventing it from ohming to give a value of resistance.....that being said I'm not sure if my board is fried or not it's hard to tell. Not sure of a way to test exactly hahah

I was wrong. Still giving pump failure error so the fan does not have equal resistance to the pump

Update, I tested soldering a small 12v fan where the pump was, cycled the fan twice then just reported general error haha, not sure if the board itself was dead to start with or not since I bought it non functional. Curious if using a resistor of the right ohmage will clear the error. No more pump error though! So not sure

This helped massively! - posting information I found below on a Corsair forum, doesn't give me the ohm resistance but it at least gives me the regular draw that it would have. I'm glad there's a lot of people who have done resistance mods in the past I was sure I wasn't the first one haha. Despite all the RGB mods and such I just want that micro display for some monitoring I may be able to work out in the future. The only thing that makes me sad is how annoying it is to change the tube size to a more common one....oh well it'll all work out in the end. The "ECO II" pump unit "CoolIt" has a 12 Vdc, nominal current draw of 0.1 Amp, drawing 1.2 watt. The maximum flow rate is 2 Liters/ minute. The max. head is 112 cm of H2Oand max. noise level of 23 dBa at 2100 RPM +/- 10%. The pump unit for the "ECO II-120" varies with the flow rate of 0.94 Liters/ minute. The basic difference between the two is the halved flow rate for the ECO II. Normally this would indicate that with the pump prime mover staying the same the pump displacement has been halved. I can't be sure which unit applies to the Corsair units as obviously these numbers should apply as proprietary information for contracting parties involved. Sooooo...., some more info for the masses who care.

I have a very odd thing I want to do and I need some help, I have an h100i elite that is dead, the brushless motor in it died and no longer works and can't even get an ohm resistance from it. I was wanting to use the block for the LCD that Corsair has for it but use a d5 pump and expand the loop, in order to bypass the pump error that it reports from the dead motor I was thinking of putting a resistor in the path the motor normally would be instead - only rough Idea I had was from a small 12v fan off a 3d printer I had being 82ohm of resistance when I had the meter set to 200k, would this be roughly the ideal size to put in you guys think? If anyones able to measure the ohm of one that isn't dead or just a ballpark that would be great. Just don't need annoying errors being reported once it's bypassed/replaced.
