No each pump is independant. Try the second one, I haven't seen both fail together very often.
I got 2 monarchs and somehow all 4 pumps are lifeless. I decided to sacrifice one. Any thoughts on where my pumps on this one went wrong? The little bit of liquid that did leak out was pretty black in color.
Sure, the pumps just use normal 12v fan plugs. Use an adapter to connect a fan to a 12v power supply and fire them up. You should be able to hear the water running in the radiator if they are working.
Any evidence of water leaking (on the copper plates or bottom metal frame)?
No water leaking evidence at all. I quickly tested one pump per your suggestion but got nada. Would I need to power both pumps at the same time?

Re: Hacking BFL Monarchs and servicing them while times are weird.
Sorry, been away for awhile. The temp sensors are labelled T1 and T2. They are bottom center of the board, right outbound of the bottom two screws by the ISL chips that control the 6 phase FETs on each side.
You could ignore them by setting the temp on BFGMiner.conf to 200 or so, but make sure the temps on the chips really are reasonable before you do this.

Got a IR temp reader, and looks like I am getting to hot. Looking next to the pumps. Is there a way to test the pumps without powering the board?
That's great you got 275Mhz. Mine is running 200Mhz reliably. The included fans keep the heatsink temps under 100 f. I also have a small external fan to keep them cool. Higher freq is nice, but 200 Mhz was what I was expecting to run them at as a minimum. I find the latest build of cgminer buggy and takes up a lot of CPU for some reason, so I've resorted to using last year's version.
What do you use to check the temperature?

Re: Hacking BFL Monarchs and servicing them while times are weird.
i have a number of BFL Monarch. they power up and run fine at idle. within 5 minutes of mining the temps at 90C and cut off. any ideas where i should start?
Thanks
I have same issue but mine cut off in 5 secs not 5 minutes.

Very Important *** TO All Sucre Masternode Owners - You all need to upgrade your Sentinel ASAP. Until you do so the Budget Proposal system will not engage. This is a very simple procedure.
For Ubuntu:
cd /root/.sucrcore/sentinel git fetch git reset --hard origin/master
Thank you for your time! This is very important...
Running my MN on Ubuntu. I do not have a "sentinel" folder in the ".sucrcore" directory. please advise
You need sentinel to run a MN, starting march 1,2018 will not get any reward if sentinel is not install.
