This could be a very simple issue, but I recently attempted to set up an X53 cooler that someone on Reddit provided. Unfortunately, it wasn’t included with a cable to connect the fans on the radiator to the pump. I did link the pump to a CPU fan header, but since I couldn’t wire my fans to the AIO using a cable—something shown in recent YouTube tutorials—I wondered if that affected things. Also, my PC stopped working shortly after installation and doesn’t power back up, even when switched to the air cooler I was using before. It had been running smoothly for about two to three weeks before getting the AIO. I’m curious if this might be related, but I just wanted to know if anyone has experienced this before. Thanks!
