Build your own PC
My PC recently started shutting down due to overheating. CPU going to 80C. After I restarted the PC I checked the CPU temp and sure enough it was going high again very quickly. Just to be sure it was not some app going crazy, I tested directly USING the BIOS. you can see all the temps in the bios, which was showing high CPU temp. for the aorus motherboard When in the BIOS use SMART FAN 5 App to check temps.
The PC is now running smoothly without overheating with the new cooling solution, so will open up the aio pump and investigate. Opened up pump to refill using distilled water. After refilling I closed the pump hole again. This did not improve the situation. The PC still went to 80C in the upright position. So took out radiator and pump to investigate and opened up the pump plate.This was a bit messy filling the pump with liquid. I used distilled water by the way. After filling the device with quite a bit of liquid it seems to be now full and circulating the liquid. Will save this unit for future use.I have 6 fan (plus the one in the PSU) so I have connected them in the way I have documented. This is useful so that the fans can be controlled using smart fan app on this motherboard. Be mindful to check the airflow direction when installing fan.
