CPU overheating. Disable OC.
CPU overheating. Disable OC.
But then you did it right.
It's fortunate you purchased the additional thermal paste, as now you have all the necessary components to reinstall the cooler.
Do not change the settings I mentioned; wait until your cooler is properly installed and is functioning correctly.
EDIT:
Choose "
XMP II
" first — these are G.Skill's original factory configurations for RAM. If you encounter problems, try "
XMP I"
which correspond to ASUS' settings.
XMP II provides optimal performance, XMP I is slightly less intensive, and could work better on certain systems.
I personally prefer XMP II for my RAM.

Have you connected everything properly? Is the pin-connector from the heatsink correctly attached to the AIO connector on your motherboard? Are your radiator fans also connected and operating when you power on your PC?
Mads also suggested a potential reason for the heating problems—air might be trapped due to improper positioning of the AIO.
I have linked the fans to the splitter included with the cooler. One of the wires is attached to the aio pump. It was previously connected to the cpu fan. Now I experience a CPU fan error when it's inside the aio pump. Which cables should be reassigned? The three fans are connected together. I’m not sure about the rest.
The CPU Fan error can be resolved easily. Visit your BIOS monitoring section and look for the option to "Ignore" CPU fan RPM monitoring. This should prevent you from receiving the "error" again (similar to a warning). Apart from that, it seems like everything is connected correctly, though it's challenging to fully understand without seeing it in person, so I might be mistaken.
Are you ensuring the proper alignment of the backplate with the cooler retaining clip?
There are options for LGA20XX and LGA115X models, though they appear quite alike in appearance but differ in length. (There are also versions compatible with AMD boards, which are easily identifiable)
You must select the correct type to achieve the right mounting force.
I notice it is installed similarly to the NZXT Kraken x62 I own.
One (flat wide connector) connects to the SATA power port.
There are three fan connectors, each linking to a fan on the radiator.
A thin round cable features a rectangular connector at one end, typically black with holes for a 9-pin internal USB header. The rectangular side attaches to an internal USB port, while the other end links to the cooler.
The final connector goes to either the AiO_Pump or CPU_Fan header; which matters less. I have both on my motherboard, and testing them didn’t make a difference (except if you wish to enable BIOS control for the AiO pump – but the cooler’s software interface will manage that without issue).
If everything checks out, you might want to return the product for replacement, as the temperatures you mention are significantly higher than expected.
