I re-seated my AIO as the water block didn't have full contact with the CPU ihs. When I boot into my bios it doesn't show an AIO pump just the CPU fan is that fine? The rest of the fans rads, and cha are plugged into the cpu_opt header right below where the pump is plugged into the cpu_fan header. And that is via a PWM hub in the case. The pump is directly plugged into the cpu_fan and the rest of the fans are plugged in via PWM hub.

Now I'm in my bios I haven't really messed with any settings and it's telling me my CPU is at 33 degrees Celsius. I will boot in and do a prime95 stress test and tell you what I get under load. Don't worry I'm gonna install version 26.6 or just disable avx testing. Thanks.

Does your motherboard not have a dedicated AIO pump header? I'd be surprised if it didn't. But realistically, you should be fine. I'd check any kind of fan curve in the bios that controls those fan headers, as it'll be controlling the pump now, and you do want something that scales as the temps go up. Bios fan curves are pretty lame by default, so I'd check to see if that's an issue.

I had to re-seat the cooler as 1 of the 4 mounting bracket standoffs wasn't pushing the in all the way making the cooler not have 100% contact and enough pressure on the IHS. Doing that has made my temps at load reach 65 degrees C at max.
I don't have any bios curve stuff. So i guess i'm good. Thanks for your response though i appreciate it.
