Thanks everyone for the confirmation.

Also if anyone knows, is the water cooler connected to the right pins (there is 4, I connected them to the top 3 of SYS fan 1)?

I'm just making 100% sure everything is connected properly before troubleshooting further.

That looks fine, just make sure the pump is capable or variable speed if your are running it on DC voltage control to change the pump speed during load. If it's not capbale of variable speed you can set it to PWM (constant 12V) or DC voltage and always have it run at full speed.

Just double checking on your thoughts to eliminate an issue. Thanks :)

 

Looks like it spread out perfectly without too much excess, no problems there.

Gotcha thanks for the help.

 

I'll try to find a way to set it to a maximum fan speed, as that could be the issue. I never really hear it pump.

Check this video by Luke, it answers the question of too much thermal paste.
