My CPU in the Asus Mobo keeps rising. it starts off at 40 and goes up to 70 before I shut down. I installed the power or main wire into the aio pump and it gave me no reading it showed N/A. So I swapped it and put that one in the CPU fan and installed the other two wires going into one wire into the CPU fan out. I have removed the paste on both the cooler and the cpu and installed artic silver thermal paste. When I booted up this last time the CPU Fan said N/A. The heat on the CPU keeps rising and nothing is it a bad cooler? Am I doing anything wrong? I do not have the corsair link installed either.

My build
i7 7700k
Asus z270 E gaming
H100i V2 cooler
16g Ram Vengence
1k PSU EvGA P2
Artic Thermal Paste Silver

Can you install corsair link to see if the H100i is recognised by that?

Corsair AIO coolers are known to have problems with being recognised by pcs. Sometimes it's a temporary software glitch, other times it requires an RMA to fix the issue.

Dont manually shut down your pc, it will do that itself if it gets too hot. 70 degrees is a safe temp but if it keeps going past 90 degrees you have a serious problem with contact between the CPU and cooler. Even the static thermal mass of a malfunctioned corsair AIO should keep the cpu from doing that.
