I recently bought a new CUP, i7 7700k, motherboard, ASUS strix Z270E Gaming, and RAM, 16GB Corsair Dominator Plaitinum. And I'm using a H100i v2 AIO cooler.

Now it's all installed but once I'd booted it up and go to the desktop I opened Corsair link And noticed the temperature on the CPU keeps wildly jumping about from around 35 degrees to 50 and all between and the load spikes too to around 20% with nothing running, but temperatures can't jump and cool that quick surely.

It also seemed that when changing the profile of my cooler it wasn't as loud as it used to be making me think it's limited some how And the RPM of the cooler reads zero on corsair link.

I read it might be something to do with q-fan control on my motherboard so I went into the BIOS and disabled the CPU q-fan but now the cooler spins up and calms and fluctuates constantly, however with this the RPM of the cooler bow shows.

I applied thermal paste to the CUP and the radiator fans are connected to the 2 adapters on the pump block of the cooler which is connected to the CPU fan header (I've heard about using the CPU OPT header?).

This all had me concerned and would appreciate the help, thanks in advance
