I’m trying to figure out what’s happening with my computer. I recently upgraded the RAM and went back to the same configuration as before, except maybe tweaking some BIOS settings. After that change, the CPU cooler fans started making a lot of noise. Nothing else seemed different—cooler performance, PC placement, or usage stayed the same. I ran some checks and saw that my CPU temperature is extremely high according to MSI Center, even though the CPU isn’t using much power (around 80% with only 2-3% load). This high temperature is causing the fan to run at full speed. I’m not sure if my RAM changes affected the cooler, but I had to move the PC a bit. My CPU specs are: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, 16 cores, 32 threads, M.2 slot, Corsair iCUE H510 Elite CAPELLIX liquid cooler, Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB (2x16), 5600MHz CL36. I edited this on February 22, 2024. Anyone have any suggestions on how to diagnose the issue?

It might relate to the aio, possibly because the pump header was disconnected or something similar.

Even if you're not sure about the cooler connection, perform a repaste and remount. Confirm everything is properly secured—make sure all headers are connected. It seems the pump header might be missing, but you should receive an alert for that.

It looks like your cooler's pump isn't working properly. The system indicates the pump fan should be running, but you've tried resetting it without any results.

Did you verify the connections leading to the pump head? Also, Corsair typically handles the warranty properly.
