New GPU water cooling loop performs worse than stock blower cooler

Alright somebody help me out here. So I'm running a Radeon R9 290 (yes I know it's ancient but it works) and the old cooler just isn't good enough anymore. So recently I bought a Corsair H100 AIO and have it attached to the card with that NZXT bracket thing. Unfortunately now, it somehow performs worse than before and actually crashes now, in certain situations. I feel like I did something wrong since this is my first time, but I can't think of what specifically. Any suggestions?

 

Here's what I've done so far;

Connected the bracket to the card with the AIO installed (used MX-2 thermal paste)

Connected the three 3 pin connectors to my fan hub (the fan hub is connected to the chassis fan connector on my mobo)

And obviously mounted the fan and radiator to my case appropriately. The case is a Kolink Obsidian and does officially support water cooling systems.

 

Any help would be super. Thanks 👍
