Ryzen 7 7700x Overheating on a Aorus Elite AX B650 Motherboard and a Corsair WaterCooling

[EsLeandro]

Hi! Recently i bought a new computer 
Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX B650 MB
Ryzen 7 7700x 
Corsair DDR5 5600mhz Ram
RTX 4070ti 
1000w gold certified corsair PSU

 

My AIO WaterCooling is the CORSAIR iCUE H115i ELITE CAPELLIX that i took from my previous setup since AM4 coolers are compatible with AM5

 

And the case is the Corsair Carbide 470t, so it has a pretty decent space

 

When i was installing windows on the system the computer just turned off suddenly, at that point i thought it was something with the TPM 2.0 because the computer was turning off every time i was setting up the 4 pin for windows.

At that point i got into the bios and the tpm 2.0 was enabled, the thing that i noticed was the CPU running at 100 degrees, went up to 105 degrees and then the computer just shut down again. I didn't modify anything in the bios, i don't like overclocking. Also everything was on default. 

 

The hardware wasn't damaged but i didn't wanted to try anything else without knowing what to do.

I checked the BIOS version and it was Ver.F3, i checked the CPU and the water block was firmly attached to the cpu, also the thermal paste was brand new.

The thing that i noticed was the water block RGB  was not turning on but the fans were running at full speed

As i said i used this watercooler in my previous computer and is technically brand new, i bought it 2 months ago and it was working perfectly on my previous setup just yesterday mantaining 50 degrees or lower all the time on a Ryzen 5 5600x.

 

Also i don't know if this helps but the water block is connected to the ''CPU FAN'' pins on the motherboard. The water tubes were vibrating but i think i figured out that it was vibrating because of the fans running at max speed.

I don't know if there is a difference with connecting it with the ''CPU OPT'' ''CPU FAN'' or ''SYSTEM FAN'' But while i was watching the BIOS i took a picture and all the fans in the ''Smart fan'' section appeared in ''N/A''

I'm having troubles figuring out the problem and i don't know if i should update the bios because in the motherboard page says that ryzen 7 7700x is compatible with the ''F1'' version and this one is updated to the ''F3'' I don't know if i should update it to F6b or something.

so, you should put your fingers on the CPU Block and see if you can feel the pump spinning.

 

Also:

 

Is the Pump Block Fan Connector plugged directly into the motherboard?

 

What are the fans plugged into?  Cuz they're not showing up either.

Yes. It's connected directly into the motherboard, on the ''CPU FAN'' pins.

 

That's whats confusing me, the fan is connected but its not showing up on the motherboard and its not cooling the CPU.

you gonna respond to more than just that one line in the middle?

(Also i posted this by accident on the general forum, i didn't know how to move or delete the previous post)

you can't move or delete posts, you ask a mod to move it by reporting the post.

My bad, sorry.

 

When i put my fingers on the CPU i can feel the vibrations but the thing is that i think its coming from the fans spinning at max speed.

 

Yes, the water block is connected into the motherboard in the ''CPU FAN'' pins.

 

And the fans are connected but i don't know exactly where, because they are working but i don't see where is actually connected

[tkitch]

First:  Figure out where the fans are plugged in.  that matters.

 

Second:  go into the BIOS and make sure the board is trying to monitor the RPM of the fans, and they're not set to "ignore" or "disable" or something.

 

Make sure they're set to PWM if the fans are 4 pin.

Are the sata and USB connectors plugged in?

Alright. Actually i paid a friend to build the setup so i don't know where is everything, i'm omw to his office but he doesn't know what happened either because its his first time building a ryzen 7000 series with a 4000 gpu.

 

With the first part i didn't know the fans had other connectors, i only see 2 coming out of the water block, the cpu that is connected into the CPU FAN 4 pin connector but that connector only has 3 holes to connect to the pins. Then the other cable is bigger and its connected into the Corsair RGB controller.

 

Alright, i was trying to figure out where are the fans connected and my friend told me that the fans are connected into the RGB controller.

 

From the water block just comes out those 2 cables, the one connected to the RGB and the other one connected to the motherboard. I don't know if there is a additional one connected to the RGB controller or its the same one.

 

I'm trying to figure out in what part of the bios i can setup the monitor of the fans.

 

And the last part i don't really know, i think the fans are 3 pins, you mean to set to PWM in the bios?

Yes. The PC turns on but then the CPU gets up to 100 degrees and just shut downs

 

Also it has a NVMe M.2 with 1TB of space

Step 3 shows what I mean.

The Commander Core gets power from a Sata connector, and connects to your motherboard by a usb connector. I'd make sure both of these, and the 24 pin for the aio pump are plugged in all the way.

If they're plugged into the RGB controller, you wont see the fans in BIOS. Only in the iCue software. That's why there is the 1 wire going to the motherboard. It gives the motherboard a reported speed on the pump, and keeps it from throwing an error for not having a CPU fan plugged in. 

 

Pin 3 is your tach reading whether it's in PWM or DC mode, so there not being a reading there is telling me something isn't right with how it was installed..

[tkitch]

as @IkeaGnome mentioned:  That single wire going to the fan header is just for RPM Monitoring.

 

Where does the other wire coming from the block go?
