System fails to power on following installation of the new AIO.
Test the system using the previous cooler to determine functionality. If successful, investigate whether the newer cooler could be introducing excessive pressure, adding a faulty circuit, or causing unintended electrical contact on the motherboard. If unsuccessful, examine the motherboard and CPU to confirm they are operational before submitting your update.
It was getting cooler, so what should I do with the new one since the old one works just fine?
Ensure proper placement on the correct mount to avoid uneven pressure on the CPU, which might prevent booting. If issues persist, consider exchanging or returning the unit and trying a different cooler or AIO. Also, check for any contact with other components on the MOBO, as this could cause shorts.
