So I recently changed my pc case and had to remove the CPU water cooler and re install it. I check the temps in the bios and it just keeps climbing and getting hotter every second. It's never had this problem before because iv left it on there and never touched. Is it possible I broke something or didn't clean the CPU off properly when I went to put it back on? Thanks for your help

Yes, you can plug it into a fan header, but now I'm wondering if after you cleaned the CPU off, did you give the rubbing alcohol time to dissipate, or did you immediately apply the thermal compound. Also, try to enter the bios and see if you can get a reading on the aio pump rpm (I know that the fan rpm doesn't exactly translate to pump rpm, but it should indicate how much voltage if any at all is being given to the pump).

Also, while I've never had an AIO water cooling unit (Only custom hardline watercooled :/) when you start the system, put your hand on the block and see if it vibrates at all.

To be honest this is really beginning to sound like a pump issue, but there still is the likely hood the there's not enough contact pressure...

Hello!

From what it sounds like, this could either be the effect of a dead pump, or a weak connection between the cpu and waterblock. Just out of curiosity how did you clean the cpu and waterblock?

Also, I'd try attaching the pump to a different header on your motherboard to see if custom curves are messing with the temperatures.

One more thing to note, how quickly do the temperatures rise, and what do the temperatures peak at? Are they constantly rising or is there a limit?

Hope to be of some help!

I used rubbing alcohol but used a lot to clean it all off. They rise very quickly, like 1 degree every 1-2 seconds, it's the h100 AIO and it's plugged into the CPU fan header in the motherboard, can I plug this into another header?
