I just installed an Alphacool Eiswolf 2 AIO onto my RTX 4090, however I am running into a problem. I am not sure that the pump is functioning. The light for the GeForce logo is on, however there is not noticable pump noise when I put my ear up to the pump. There also is 0 vibration when I feel the pump. Also visibly it looks like no water is flowing. My temps are also very bad, quickly getting to beyond my Aircooled temps within a few minuts and the radiator and backplate of the card are scalding hot. I have set the fan header in my BIOS to 100% that contains the pump but seems like no luck. Any idea what could be going on?

use the available AIO or PUMP PWM header—it handles higher current. it usually runs at maximum speed by default. you should also be able to monitor the current RPM via BIOS or a fan control app.
