It seems I’m facing some issues with my motherboard setup. I misread the layout and thought the CPU overheat indicator pointed to an AIO pump, but it was actually a regular pump. After swapping it out, I ran it for a while before noticing the error. I’m worried about potential damage. The pump was spinning at its maximum speed (2.8k rpm), which is safe, and temperatures stayed below 37°C during idle. Thanks for taking the time to review this—I hope others avoid my mistake!

It shouldn't be affected by any issues other than typical wear and tear when operating at full speed.

The system is working well. The header is set for custom voltages and it performed without issues, running efficiently. No problems detected.

Interesting to learn it kept running despite being a CPU_OV header.
