Dear everybody,

Thank you for taking the time to read my post, and I hope you are having an amazing rest of your day!

I will try to be brief so, here goes. I recently have built my first ever Gaming PC, with the following components:

• CPU -> AMD Ryzen 9 9900X 12-Core Processor (4.40 GHz)
• GPU -> NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti (16GB)
• RAM Memory -> Corsair Vengeance DDR5, 32 GB, 6000 MHz (EXPO on)
• Motherboard -> GIGABYTE B650 GAMING X AX V2, socket AMD AM5
• PSU -> Corsair RM850x, 850W, RMx series, fully modular, standard ATX 3.1, Cybenetics Gold
• CPU Cooler -> Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 A-RGB
• Thermal Paste -> Arctic MX-7 0.6g
• Case -> https://www.progaming.ro/en/carcase-gaming/carcasa-progaming-elite-cube-tower-atx-fara-sursa-7-ventilatoare-argb.html
• Monitor -> GIGABYTE G34WQC2

If you need any more information regarding anything else, please let me know and I'll be sure to complete and provide it for you.

I have two main problems, that I am currently facing:

1. The A-RGB isn't working for any of the fans/pump from the cooler. As you can see in the two photos of the case, neither the radiator fans nor the pump fan light up, but they are working, as in they cool the CPU and the system in itself.
2. This would be more like a situation where I would need your advice/opinion. I am new to AMD CPUs and to PC-Building, therefore I don't really know that much about temps. This is kind of the normal temperature that the CPU has in idle. The pattern I can observe is that it spikes for 1 minute to 75-80-95 depending on the load it has, for example, now I have 7 tabs open, then it cools to 60-65 degrees celsius for 1-2 minutes, then spikes again, then cools back. I just wanted to know whether the "idle" temperature is alright, and if this is okay or I should try to reapply thermal paste/ undervolt the CPU.

Additionally, I have daisy-chained, just to see if it would work, 2 more add-ons that work with A-RGB, the GPU-support and the 24-pin connector. They are both working, so I know that the D_LED from MoBo ain't dead, but the fans will not light up. I have just unscrewed the radiator to check whether fans are not in position, and screwed it back together, still not working. Could the issue be related to the fact that I plugged the 3-cable control and the pump is in CPU_OPT and the fans are in CPU_FAN and not the other way around? This is my first build, so I am not that experienced. I have also noticed that the fan for outtake in the back of the case isn't working, so I just replaced that one, as I think maybe one factor for the heat is that fan not working properly.

Thank you so much in advance!

Bună seara,

Sper că am selectat flair-ul care trebuie, eram puțin indecis între acesta și “Recomandări”

Mâine, pe la prânz voi pleca din țară pentru 5 zile și am nevoie să las mașina undeva, dar nu știu exact unde, pentru că dacă aș lăsa-o lângă bloc, pe locul primăriei (albastru) pe lângă faptul că aș plăti enorm, aș lua locul cuiva care o folosește în perioada respectivă.

Am văzut ceva Park&Ride, cel mai apropiat de mine ar fi cel din Pantelimon, dar cred că e închis? Văzusem o postare de acum o săptămână, deci tot ce se poate. O altă opțiune ar fi fost cel din Străulești, am văzut că e cel mai aproape de aeroport, și ar fi super, îmi imaginez că ajung ușor cu un Bolt/ Uber de acolo, dar nu știu cât de ocupat e/ care sunt tarifele.

Dacă aveți idei, eventual cu care să nu fie ridicată sau să iau amendă, aș aprecia enorm!

EDIT - Mă mai gândeam și la cea subterană din Bucur-Obor dar mi-e greu să înțeleg cum funcționează, pentru că nu am parcat acolo niciodată și pe site scrie că 24 de ore ar fi 20 de lei, iar un abonament de o zi 300 de lei și aplicația pare o porcărie.

Mulțumesc anticipat și o seară frumoasă vă doresc! :)
