Question Do I have to set up AIO cooler in the BIOS?

[Jghurwitz]

Built my first pc with a ryzen 7700x last weekend. The 30 dollar air cooler wasn’t sufficient so I got a lian li galahad ii trinity sl inf at microcenter. I plugged it all in correctly (I’m almost positive) but my cpu is hitting 80c in the cyberpunk menu. My coworker who builds pcs all the time suggested that I had to go into the bios and set it up as an AIO water cooler since it thinks my aio is just an air cooler. According to anyone’s experience, is this the case? I have a gigabyte aorus b650 ax elite ice motherboard if that helps.

I dont think you need to install it into bios because once you pluged the wires into motherboard it will work. Have you used thermel paste on cpu when you installed the cooler

he did show me that the bios can be set to the wrong type of cooler so I hope that’s it, the other option is that the pump isn’t working or the CPU is getting “over volted” by the motherboard (something a dude on a pc repair hotline said could be possible)

I had many coolers before and just installed it onto motherboard and pluged the wires into it and started it up. Only setting that changed was fan and pump setting in bios to run them more faster and downloaded the program to change RGB and fan speed settings and such.

So my thing with what you said is that there are BIOS settings related to pumps, so it might not be on or even set to the water pump setting

Go into your bios and check if your pump working but you would not be able to load pass windows if cooler is not working because will shut down to protect itsself. So would make sure that you installed it correctly onto CPU and make sure you did not use to much paste and set fan profile to go faster in bios or software

Yeah I got L-Connect, my main thing is that I’m thinking that in my motherboard bios specifically there’s an option where it is acting like an air cooler

I’m pretty sure I installed it correctly and put the right amount of thermal paste, they have a little tool that prevents you from using too much. The fans themselves are working so I think that it wouldn’t shut down because it sees that there’s a cooler there, just not a water cooler

Then try going into bios or software to change fan speed setting and check the temps in game

I’ll make sure to do that, I’ll let you know what happens. The fan speeds specifically are set in L-connect so those should be fine
