[roryzzz]

Rather warm at idle. What's your ambient room temperature?
Test it at full load.

its probabbly around 18 degrees do you think maybe the heatsink is not fully back on the cpu?

Something is wrong then.
Either improperly installed/connected AIO or
it is broken.
Did you overclock your cpu?

The fans are going on the radiator and its connected to a sata power like it says i can hear the water being pumped so probabbly if installed incorrectly its probabbly a mounting issue right?

Is the AIO - new?
If used, then possibly cpu block clogged.

Can you show a photo of your system with side panel removed?

Pump is in the cpu block, then radiator placement on top is fine.

Yeah I don’t think I’ve installed it incorrectly

Sounds like that might be it, yeah.

Have you made sure the plastic film on the cpu cooler was removed prior to installation?
