[SOLVED] CPU overheating after new Aio installed

[Aethosity1]

Hi all,

Just installed a kraken x42 and my CPU overheats within a couple of minutes of being on. It ramps up from 35 to 90 and then switches itself off. I've tried reseating the pump, unplugging everything and plugging it back in, I've tried putting an air cooler on there to see if the problem resolved itself (which it did). At 1am last night I managed to keep temps at a solid 30 degrees, so I assumed it was sorted. Turned off the PC, unplugged some stuff to cable manage it, turned it back on and it was back to overheating. Any ideas why?

What CPU are you trying to cool?


Did you install it correctly?

I'm trying to cool the ryzen 5 3600. I followed the instructions in that video when installing it

If you followed the installation correctly the only thing I can think is that its faulty.

Try and feel the pump and hoses when it's running and feel for vibrations. If there are none then chances are its broken

Make sure the headers are connected on the motherboard.
