[IM AN IDIOT I ACCIDENTALLY POSTED EARLIER SAYING I HAVE A 9590 INSTEAD OF 8350.]
A few weeks ago I bought the H100i GTX for my computer, after installation I would experience a thermal shutdown after about 20 seconds (75°C). I thought it was a problem with the cooler and sent it back to be replaced. In the meantime, I reverted to the stock cooler and my pc continued to run as normal. Then after a few days, a new cooler arrived (same model) I installed it, and its doing a thermal shutdown again. I'm at my wits end here. There are zero help guides for installing this cooler onto an AMD chip on the internet and the manual seems to have several mistakes in it. Im plugging the cooler into the cpu_fan header but Ive also tried plugging it into the power supply which didn't help. The block is definitely pumping as I had felt with the last cooler (even though I returned it just to be sure). Lights are on, fans spinning, slight vibration on the pump block and the sound of water. There is good airflow in the case. My suspicion is that the pump block is somehow not making proper contact with the chip.
N.B. In the Bios it lists the fan speed at around 750rpm. Im not too sure what this means
Specs;
Amd fx 8350
Asus m5a78lm/usb3
