kraken z53 Helpppppp!!!!

[ASSTAG21]

Purchase a kraken z53 cooler. Installed it to my ryzen 7 3700x, motherboard is a msi b450 gaming plus max, so after turning on the PC it was fine, then after windows opened the fans started to get real loud and fast then right after it gets loud and fast it gets slow and quite.

Also the temperature reading on the kraken z53 is wrong and every time the cooler reading increases the fans get crazy loud. 

 

I don't what is causing this, my motherboard didn't have a 3 pin CPU OPT header so I plugged the coolers 3 socket wire to the motherboards 4 pin CPU FAN header. I'm not sure if that's causing this. But whatever it is I need helppppp!!!!! Oh also I installed the radiator inside and the fans outside on top and there's a vent with pretty big holes in between the radiator and the fans, could that cause the issue? I just don't know

Not sure of what's your issue, yet if I  understand correctly your rad/fans mounting is not good,  you should always screw the fans directly to the rad, with nothing inbetween, even a vented panel still reduce airflow pretty significantly

Yeah thought so too, that's why I am gonna cut the vent outta the way and reinstall em. But I think the God damn fans are gonna act crazy. Let's see though.

For the NZXT display to update the temperatures on the fly NZXT CAM needs to be running. If it is not running you are not going to be getting correct temperatures. Your fans are spinning up because your processor is heating up, you need to configure the fans in the NZXT CAM software or motherboard Bios. 

 

If you are talking about fans spinning up during boot, the fans will go full blast until the PC posts.

Yeah but CAM is running but the temperatures aren't correct

Ahhhhhh I finally fixed my issue, so all I did was update all my motherboard drivers but nothing happened. So then i updates my bios to the latest version and god damn actually worked. The fans don't go nuts and the nzxt CAM software reads my cpu temperatures properly. Now this is one Hell of a Relief!!!!!

I would also check the correct installation of the system! One incorrectly twisted part can break the entire system ))))))
