B650-A and ML280 are compatible components. They assist with unclear guidance by providing relevant details.
You're working with a 7950X on an Asus B650-A and trying to connect the ML280 cooler. You're unsure which connector corresponds to the RGB, CPU_OPT, or another option. The RGB likely uses one of the available leads, but you're not sure which one. Check the cooler's documentation or manufacturer site to confirm the pinout and labeling. The CPU_OPT connection is mentioned in a video, but it might not match your setup. Since the case is quiet, the RGB may not be active, but the pump could still be off. Try connecting the cooler and see if it powers on properly. If it doesn't, verify the pump is connected and functioning. Let me know what you find!
Did you connect the AIO pump wire to the AIO_PUMP on your motherboard?
It’s now. I connected the other lead plug in and everything seems active—lights are on and it feels like it’s working. Still no beeping or posting. I tried reseating the RAM but got nothing. I’m calling it tonight, but tomorrow I’ll attempt removing the GPU, unplugging cables, and replacing power connections. Thanks for the support so far!
I’m checking in on how things are going. I follow the usual steps and note what works. If you need help starting, let me know. We can look into more details together—everyone has useful info on the forum. Good luck tonight, and you’re welcome to reach out if you need anything.
