Hello, I've just installed a i9-14900k CPU with Corsair 6000mhz Ddr5 and Corsair AIO liquid cooler H150i RGB LINK 360mm conected to CPU_Fan header of an Asus Strix Z790F Gaming wifi II motherboard. Power supply is a Corsair Hx1000i and Graphics MSI NVIDIA 3060Ti 8G When I enter the BIOS and stay there for some minutes I see CPU temp constantly increasing. After about 10 minutes in the BIOS it was at 70°C which is not normal to me I wonder if it's related to liquid cooler which is connected to CPU fan connector but with only 2 pins to see the value and not to control it from the motherboard. How can such high temps be avoided while on the BIOS?

I'm going to mount the AIO iCUE LINK H150i RGB on the top. But I have some doubts about cable and pump orientation. I will probably put the cables toward the back of the case (even if I don't see a real reason to avoid the cable facing the front). But then the pump where should it have the outlets of the cables? Right, Left or bottom? I see a lot of examples in which with cables facing back of the case, the pump has outlets on the opposite (so toward the front). And then the reverse is also shown: cables towards the front and pump outlets toward the back (Thus having hoses making a kind of snail shape). But why not putting outlets toward the bottom (either with cables towards the front or towards the back) ? Is there a better reason to have a tighter "snail" shape? Maybe it's better for air bubbles ?

Hello, I'm building a new pc since a lot of years and I'm actually filling a CoolerMaster TD500 Mesh V2 with Asus Mobo, Corsair AIO liquid cooler and a Corsair HX1000i. Currently I noticed that PSU could be mounted in two ways: with fan towards the top or the reverse. According to stickers on it (which probably aren't really a good reason) it should be mounted with the fan facing downwards... but what if I mount with the fan upwards? Assuming that I have 3 fans sucking air at the front, 3 fans pushing air at the top (with radiator on top as well), 1 fan pushing air on the back, which could be the best mounting position for the PSU ?

Hello, Referring to AIO and Motherboard in the title, which FAN connector should I use to connect the AIO to the motherboard: CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP ? Despite what MoBo manual says, I guess I shall use CPU_FAN... is that correct?
