I think he meant "i noticed that the aio is half filled with water"

38C idle, normal and fine. But its the load temps you want to look at. Also, how do you know its only half filled?

Same as other posters above. Also, what CPU is it?  If those are really idle temps, then I would guess that you didn’t put on any thermal paste or you didn’t peel off the plastic on the block. Or you didn’t plug in the pump power. Or, it’s defective.

Its a ryzen 5 3600 i put thermal paste on and took off the plastic. I think its a pump power i put it in cpu fan but maybe it is cpu opt

That could cause issues long term since pumps don't like air. If you are certain, I would advice you contact manufacturers support and ask their opinion. Better to RMA it now than later.

Idk about AIOs, but I would expect it to supposed to be 90% or more full. So that regardless of rad placement air bubbles won't end in pump.

 

Though after watching just some of this:

The air might still end in pump. But you can see from the moment they install plexiglass piece that rad is almost filled with liquid.

is there a way to refill the pumps?

In AIO? No. The point is that its service free. Its sealed so there's no noticeable evaporation happening, no possibilities for foreign matter to enter and so on. If you open it, you lose warranty. So only way to fix it is to RMA since its factory fault.

 

There are some models which are made expandability in mind. Like Hydro-X series from Corsair.

 

I hadn't watched that Gamers Nexus video since I don't use AIOs, and usually don't help on those threads. But now I'm watching it for curiosity. At timestamp 8:25 he talks about what manufacturers say is the liquid-air ratio target. Which is what I guessed earlier, 90% liquid or more.

haha. I just saw you’re using Fahrenheit.  Jeez. Yes, 80F to 90F is normal idle temp. PC people measure in Celsius. 80-90C idles is way too hot. But, 80 to 90F idle is perfectly normal.  Mystery solved. Your cooler is fine.

Its not for power, its for telling mobo how fast pump is spinning. Or rather that its powered and working. You need to put something to CPU_FAN, but it doesn't need to be pump tach.
