Hi,
I'm 99% sure the pump on my brand-new Lian Li Galahad is not working (I don't hear the pump at all).
It's brand new and the RGB lights and the fans are working, just not the pump.
Pump is connected to CPU_FAN Header on the x570 aorus master.
When I take out the cable and plug it back it I can hear the pump for a split-second and then it just stops.
The first time I turned on my system I could actually clearly hear the pump, but not anymore.
Anyone knows how to fix this? I'm afraid of using my pc without a proper cooler (highest temp i hit today was 72 during a nvidia driver update).
On the package it says there's a 5 year warranty, so would I be able to get a replacement or at least a repair if the pump is broken?
I'm considering buying an air cooler for the time being so I can use my pc without worries of breaking my cpu.
Thank you in advance for any help.

This was over back when you reported the bios temp. If the pump was broken, the bios temp would've been nowhere near 25C; it would've been like 70C or worse, you get a cpu temp warning.

Cinebench R23? That would've shot up to 90C in mere seconds, and eventually shut the PC off.

All has gone quiet simply because the pump successfully got the little air pockets out and away from it. Shut it off, everything settles - turn 'er on, and it starts over again until everything 'mellows out'.

This has been going on since Ryzen 3000: these chips are very bursty only with lighter loads. It's a byproduct of how they save power - a 'rush to sleep state', of sorts.
