Try to identify the cause of the overheating on your CPU.
I recently chose to assemble my own pc after using an Alienware prebuilt that didn’t perform well. I gathered all the necessary components and began construction once everything arrived. Following a tutorial, I tested the system inside the case before installing it. After turning it on, everything functioned properly. The issue arose when I placed the pc in the case; I noticed a warning on the LCD screen of the AIO and the BIOS reported a CPU temperature exceeding 100 degrees Celsius. My uncle, who understands this topic well, advised me to replace the thermal paste. I attempted that but it didn’t resolve the problem—same errors persisted, and the BIOS continued indicating overheating with a cooler RPM of 0. What should I do? Am I dealing with a faulty pump? I’m feeling confused and frustrated after investing a lot of time trying to solve this.
no idea which aio model you have, but if it reads 0 rpm, you need to adjust it
if you have a single fan connector (such as from arctic), link it to the cpu fan header
if there are two, connect the pump to the cpu opt fan header and fans to the cpu header
pay attention to how many pins the fan connector uses
if it's 3-pin, set the bios fan header to dc mode
if it's 4-pin, set the bios fan header to pwm mode
the pump should operate at full fan speed, skip if you lack a separate pump connector
radiator fans should match the cpu temperature curve
Right, so the 24-pin pump, 4-pin fans, and 4-pin RGB are linked to an adapter named Commander Core. From this adapter, you receive a 3-pin fan connector that goes into the CPU header. The Commander adapter is powered via a SATA power connector, and it also has a 9-pin USB port for connecting to the mainboard. You can manage your fans and RGB through Windows software using iCUE, not through the BIOS.
