Overheating issue detected at 110°C for 7950X device.
Here are a few revised versions of your text:

The specs can be found here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BDzLzf Picture 2. This is the setup I’m trying, while picture 1 shows how I positioned it to allow enough time for a BIOS temperature check. Before adding the cable management, I managed to read temperatures in the low 60s during idle. However, I suspect I had to make changes because accessing the BIOS now feels difficult due to the radiator being outside the case. I’ve followed the standard procedure from the Arctic support guide for model LF2-240r7—removing the plastic, updating BIOS, remounting the CPU, repasting it, shaking the AIO, and positioning the radiator above the pump. Everything seems to be working normally with fans spinning and powering up. Mounting pressure on the AIO is tight but manageable without damaging the heads. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

For more details, see the specs at https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BDzLzf Picture 2. I’m trying to install Picture 2 and needed to position it properly so I could check BIOS temps before adding cables. Before doing that, I updated the BIOS and followed the basic steps from the Arctic support page for the LF2-240r7. The pump is running normally with all fans active and spinning. Mounting pressure on the AIO is secure, but I’m still having trouble getting inside the BIOS. Any help would be useful.

You can view the specifications here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BDzLzf Picture 2. I’m attempting to mount Picture 2 and needed a proper setup to read BIOS temperatures. Prior to cable management, I was able to get temps in the low 60s while idle. Since then, I think I had to adjust something because accessing the BIOS is now harder due to the radiator being outside the case. I’ve completed the main steps from the Arctic support documentation for this model. All fans are operational and the CPU is remounted correctly. Mounting pressure on the AIO is firm but not overly tight. If you have any suggestions, it would be great.
They're located on the pump/fan wires. If you notice the fans moving and the pump running, it confirms they're properly connected. I assumed they should run along the case edge near the radiator and into the motherboard. If the radiator wasn't removed, I'd check for any twisting or damage to the wires during setup.
Are you experiencing 110°C across all cores during full load? That level shouldn't be achievable—it usually indicates thermal throttling. If your mounting and wiring are correct and you rewrapped the block, there may be an issue with your AIO. Is the pump functioning properly? Are there any unusual symptoms? How is your fan curve configured? I own a 7950x in an ITX case similar to yours, but my case uses a Lian Li Q58 with full mesh panels on both sides. I bought the Artic Liquid Freezer 280mm only to find it didn’t fit, so I switched to the NZXT Z63 280mm AIO because the radiator fits. I see idle temperatures around 60°C and cap out at 95°C under load, which seems manageable. Initially, I thought I’d made an installation error and rewrapped the AIO multiple times; the 7950x still runs hot, while my 280mm AIO is working fine.
You can glimpse something in the initial picture. The CPU header appears at the top-left, beside the CPU power connection.
I'm experiencing 110C during startup and haven't managed to set up an OS yet because I can only reach the BIOS. This clearly indicates default configurations. The problem continues with the radiator outside the case, which heats up a bit more slowly. I'm unsure how to confirm if the pump is functioning properly.
The BIOS displays 110C, which seems unusual if everything else checks out. The issue might be with your AIO unit. Is the pump functioning properly? You should be able to observe its RPM in the BIOS and either hear or feel it operating. EDIT: verify the mounting bracket to ensure it's positioned correctly.
I notice the fans getting louder before stopping. There’s little outside sound except the fan hum and no noticeable vibration. Would that suggest the pump is off? I think the only connection I saw was for the CPU_FAN header, so I’d expect it to have power if the fans are running.
Thanks for reaching out. It seems the issue might be with the AIO not working properly. Make sure you're using the correct header—based on the MOBO headers, the conjoined pump and fan can be separated with an extra cable. It would be better to check early before considering a return or replacement.
I reopened the BIOS using a different radiator placement, and it maintained a stable temperature around 87°C for a while. Then suddenly it began to drop. Now it’s running between 66°C and 67°C in BIOS without any changes during operation. I’m not very experienced with the 7950X idle temperatures, but from what you mentioned earlier, a 240mm radiator could be acceptable.
The temperatures are returning to typical ranges now? Perhaps an air gap remained in your cooling system? A 240mm cooler fits a 7950x, but since that chip runs hot, many opt for a bigger cooler if feasible. I choose a 280mm model, and I maintain around 60°C during idle with 95°C under heavy use. Edit: always check your CPU after installing the OS to avoid extreme heat and sudden throttling even at low loads.
