I’m new to pcs and my mobo doesn’t have CPU_OPT or WATER_PUMP but i want to get an aio

[Willius]

Im currently running a 5600X and i have overheating issues when i put pressure on my gpu as it heats the system up and leads to my power just cutting so i want to get an aio to allow the pc to be able to cool down better but i dont know how it would work without these 2 pin connectors. my mobo is an a520m k v2

[Willius]

any help is really appreciated

You sure it's heat that's the issue? This sounds more like a power supply issue.

 

What are the full system specs anyway? Include your current cooler, PSU (exact model), and case you're using it in. 

 

 

You don't need a water pump header to use an AIO, just plug the pump into the CPU header and put the CPU fan on some random one. That said, I wouldn't really invest in an AIO for this system, a good air cooler should do the trick for less than half the price, if temps are even your issue in the first place.

ok i have a gtx 1660 super, ryzen 5 5600X, stock cooler, 3 intake 1 outtake fans, uhh and i am running a 550W corsair psu which is bronze (80+)

the gpu runs at about 60 degrees and the cpu runs at about low to high 70s

not fully sure about case as i originally bought it prebuilt and recently upgraded the pc

Definitely not a overheating issue then.  Totally safe temperatures.

Something else is going on.

but if it’s needed the pc was called the venoscorp neonzilla

i’m not sure to be honest but it just happens at like random times

like every 2 days or so but i’m using like 100 percent of my gpu when i run shaders on minecraft so maybe that is why

Temps aren't your issue, something else is. My first thought would be a dying PSU, but a bad motherboard is also a possibility.

A GPU is designed to be used 100%, this is what you want out of a GPU.

As  @RONOTHAN## mentioned, I am suspecting a dying PSU as well or a motherboard issue.

You just bought what? The PSU and Motherboard?

[Willius]

i bought a new cpu, ram, motherboard and psu no less than 2 weeks ago. could it be because im running the pc off of an extension cable

i also recently swapped my cable so idk if that is linked or not but the issues started after that

What cable?
Try elimate as many possibly causes as possible.  Go back to an old cable etc.

Did you change out all the cables in the PC when swapping PSU? Is the Corsair PSU modular?

yes it is and i’m locating the original cable from it now as it used to make a noise but in reality it was vibrating from the fact that it was slightly suspended

but the psu is modular and everything is installed correctly including the fanhub

but the power hub is powered by sata anyways so it’s not an issue

i’m so sorry but it’s actually MSI MAG not corsair

Okay.  Was the old PSU also modular?
Are you using any of the old cables with the new MSI PSU?

i swapped the cable and the pc is running faster so idk but is that potentially better? also i took it out of the extension cable too

What exact cable did you swap?
Take a picture of it if you can.

So there's absolutely no thermal issue, you're 25C below any danger zone...
