Hi all, just wanted to make a post about some issues I was encountering with my new PC rig I put together about a week ago. It's been working beautifully after a whole lot of troubleshooting, updating the BIOS, working around several issues, etc., and my liquid cooling AIO was able to bring my idle (0-10% CPU utilization) temps around 36-39°C, and under load in GPU-intensive games at 65°C with a small margin of error.
A couple of days ago, I decided to move around some cables in my PC to cable manage a little bit; the power/argb connectors for the AIO fans were dangling a little bit, so I was lightly tugging on them a bit trying to get the right length that I wanted. I made sure the AIO header was securely connected, that the 4-pin PWR fan headers were secure, and routed my 3-pin aRGB header for my RGB hub through a hole in the top of my case, which involved disconnecting it temporarily. After doing all of these things (will recap below), my CPU temps on 0-10% usage skyrocket to 43°C-52°C, which is far from normal. Temperature change occurs rapidly, and opening up a tab in chrome or other applications can shoot it up from 43°C to 50°C quickly. Just as an experiment, I rapidly opened tabs on google chrome for about fifteen seconds, and it shot from around 43°C to 62°C. My temps have increased while gaming as well, sometimes hitting a good 74°C, which is far from normal for this AIO.
Specs:
I didn't touch much of anything at all while moving the cables around in my case, and power is running to all of my fans just fine. I suspect that it might be my AIO, but I'm unsure. Have any of you had similar problems, or are there troubleshooting steps I could take that would lead to a solution? Thanks!

Specs:
- Motherboad: Asus PRIME X570-P
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600x @ stock
- RAM: 2x8GB Crucial Ballistix RGB RAM (3600mhz CL16)
- AIO: ID-Cooling Zoomflow 240X Liquid Cooler
- GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 3070 Ventus 3x OC
- PSU: Corsair RM750x White
- Case: CoolerMaster TD500 Mesh White
- Fiddled around with the AIO header to make sure it was fully connected. It was, and after pulling my computer apart a second time, I made sure there was a secure connection.
- Disconnected and reconnected 3-pin aRGB temporarily, though I doubt this affected much.
- On second time opening the case to troubleshoot, I made sure that the 4-pin fan PWR headers at top and bottom of mobo were securely connected.
- Optimized fans in bios, and configuration remained the same.
- AIO pump speed is stuck at 100%
