I just received a H100i GTX and an i7-7700k. I updated the BIOS for the CPU. The computer starts up in Windows 10 64 bit and lists both the CPU and the cooler in Device Manager. However, there’s an explanation point by the watercooler, which I believe indicates no driver is installed. The CPU temperature fluctuates during idle, mostly around 31 degrees C, but it can rise as high as 70. This suggests a possible driver issue. I searched online but couldn’t find the driver. My main questions are: is this a driver problem? And where can I locate the appropriate driver? Also, I installed the cooler into the CPU fan header and did not connect it to the power supply. Any advice would be appreciated.

You can manage the cooler's fan speeds using the corsairlink software. Your temperatures are fine, I seldom exceed 62C during heavy use.

The driver is now active. I'll keep an eye on the temperatures.

I'm using a thermometer to monitor temperatures.

Msi afterburner shows mostly 31 degrees in idle, but it varies widely from 31 to 55 degrees after the driver is installed. The highs reach 62, though they don’t last long and drop back to 31 quickly. This behavior seems typical for idle conditions.

Spikes are typical, the idle temperature looks acceptable, what about during load? Did you receive the Corsair link software?

Link is set up. Under heavy use, temperatures in the game range from around 65°F to a peak of 77°F. It's uncommon for it to reach 77, but it does happen occasionally.

I installed the water cooling and connected it to the CPU fan header. A video suggested converting it to the PSU connector for stable voltage and safety. What are your thoughts? If you're considering this, what component should I look for? You mentioned trying a male-to-female connector before, but couldn't locate the specific part mentioned in the video.

You can manage the cooler's fan speeds using the corsairlink software. Your temperatures are fine, I seldom exceed 62C during peak usage.
