Hi all - first time poster. I'm trying to optimize thermals and I can't see many of the fans in the bios or monitoring software, so it's hard for me to know if they're spinning fast enough.
Small digression: My wife and I bought 2 identical prebuilds from Cyberpower (would have built ourselves, but it was actually way cheaper this way). I'll post the specs at the bottom. The first day I got the PCs, mine would not post at all. After going to 3 different techs, I learned the i9 was DOA. Had to buy a new one. It's been fine since. (My wife's PC was fine)
On HWMonitor, it's only identifying 3 fans:
"PUMP" (constant 2420 RPM) and
"SYS3" (~1200RPM)
"SYS4". (~1200RPM)
Both FanControl and BIOS are not recognizing any other fans, but they are spinning.

- Both "SYS_Fan2" and "CPU_Fan" are not plugged in (I can see the pins sticking out)
Wife's: View: https://imgur.com/a/85dH0LV
- All hers are plugged in.
Just to confirm, the PUMP fan is the one that sits directly on the CPU right? And so CPU Fan = the 360mm? Does that mean my AIO exhaust fans are plugged into the PSU? I'm assuming essentially all of my fans are now plugged into the PSU except the PUMP? But on my wife's HWMonitor, her "PUMP" shows only 1000 rpm and "CPU" at 2400 rpm (same as my "PUMP") Just very confused.
Any help would be appreciated - trying to figure this out before taking the whole thing apart or taking it back in.
