“So I got the PC about two weeks ago and yesterday it started overheating and throwing me into bios. Changed the fan speeds to turbo and haven't had issues since, but noticed it's still getting a tad warm. Anyone know how to make sure the pump is working?”

I had heat issues as well. First you need to monitor your temps. I used MSI afterburner and found my gpu was running about 85°c and vrm and memory was way up at 95°c. My cpu was only at about 74 which is great for me. All these temps are while gaming If its your gpu you can do a few things. I tried fans full speed and this delayed the heating for like 10 minutes but still same top temperature. Next i looked into the actual graphics card. Mine was the challenger rx 5700 xt. Apparently this card needs to be manually under volted. I dont know why but i did it and now my gpu top temp is 72 and vrm and memory are at like 84. Performance was nearly identicle. Fans are still at full speed so i bought 2 more for exhaust and when i hook them up i am going to turn fan speed down. If the problem is cpu heat then you can start looking into the water pump. Another fix for cpu over heating is to reapply thermal paste. Of course make sure drivers are up to date
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
