- Verify that the fans are spinning and properly oriented for airflow (intake or exhaust, depending on your case setup).
- Confirm that the pump head is making good contact with the CPU and that thermal paste was applied correctly.
- Check for dust buildup on the radiator fins and clean if necessary.
- Excessive Fan Noise:
- Check fan speeds in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI or fan control software. Adjust fan curves to reduce noise if temperatures allow.
- Ensure no cables are obstructing the fan blades.
- Verify that fan screws are tightened properly to prevent vibration.
- ARGB Lighting Issues:
- Ensure the ARGB cable is correctly connected to a compatible 3-pin ARGB header on your motherboard.
