Hello, I have just installed a new water cooler to my pc I had built previously. When I power it up the lights come on, fans turn on, the new watercooler turns on, and about everything is on. My problem here is Im getting a red CPU light and have no clue why.
Specs:
EVGA 1070Ti
i7-8700k
Prime Z390 Series Motherboard
700w G2 Power supply
250gb Harddrive
2Tb 860 EVO Samsung SSD
Corsair H150i PRO Water cooler (the one I just installed)

Also I just got this new power supply and installed it about a week ago so i doubt its my power supply. And I have checked if everything is plugged in right.
Please Help
 
Solution
Additionally several people have overtightened cpu coolers on z390 boards and had issues it's possible that's your problem.

Or maybe you got thermal paste in the socket trying to clean the old stuff off/apply new
