Hello, I purchased a Titan X AMD 2.0 PC-011D from MicroCenter some time ago. It came with the ROG STRIX X570-E Gaming WI-FI II motherboard. My issue is that I couldn’t get the pump to activate with the 24-pin jumper for pre-filling the reservoir. I tested both headers, checked the Titan manual, and compared it to the motherboard manual. No matter which header I used, the pump wouldn’t turn on. The best advice MicroCenter gave was to connect it to the AIO header. I’m wondering if there’s something missing, like incorrect power setup. The PSU is an EVGA ATX 850W 80 Plus Gold. I thought once the 24-pin was connected and the pump linked to W_PUMP + header, turning on the PSU would start the fan. But it didn’t work. I managed to fill it by just connecting the 24-pin to the board and the pump to the W_PUMP header, filling it until full. At that point, the CPU was cooling, and now I want to install a water cooler for my RTX 3090. I’m struggling to drain the loop properly. This is my first attempt at water cooling, and I feel like I might be missing something obvious. Any suggestions would be really helpful! The latest photo shows the pump. I removed the block where I attach the GPU to drain water from the reservoir and the loop, since it wasn’t draining from the bottom.
