AIO fitting on motherboard
Hey everyone, I have a quick question about fitting an AIO on my motherboard. I'm using the EK-Nucleus AIO CR360 on an Asus ROG STRIX B650-A with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D. The temps keep rising, and the fans switch from low to high when I power up with Chrome or Steam. It's frustrating how they act. My main concern is whether I'm over-tightening the pump on the CPU itself. The manual doesn't mention anything about this.
Spring screws are typically designed to be secured as snug as feasible, this pattern might stem from inadequate thermal paste use or a faulty pump/incorrect connection.
The CPU temperature rises quickly during spikes, often reaching around 60°C or more. Ryzen processors usually stabilize near 60°C initially, but the fan curve needs to remain steady with temperatures staying close to 70°C or lower.
