Hey there, I built my own PC about a year ago and today I decided to switch from a fan cooler to an AIO model. I chose the NZXT Kraken X53. During my first test, the CPU was functioning properly but temperatures stayed around 90-95°C, which meant the pump wasn’t installed right. Since my motherboard doesn’t have an AIO_PUMP port, I followed the manual instructions and connected the 4-pin to the CPU fan. Everything seemed secure after tightening it. Then I checked the USB connection—it fit snugly too. What might have caused this? It’s not about bad thermal paste because the RGB lights weren’t on when I powered on. This issue definitely lies with the pump itself. Please let me know if you need more info or photos for clarity. Thanks for your help!
