Aurora R10, CPU water cooler installed, boot failure
Alienware Aurora Ryzen Edition R10
So I’ve been looking at my motherboard and I was wondering if it’s possible to install both the
Corsair sp120 rgb elite fans
the rgb hub that comes with it
and the h60x Rgb elite
but my error is where to install the rgb hub and or where the rgb lights plug in to? Can someone please help me out?
I installed my cpu cooler and it all fits snug and perfectly and the fan works. But I keep getting this error message when I turn it on, it says boot failure.
Then when I test the components both my fan and my cpu cooler are showing not to be working. I unplugged and re did everything and it’s still saying boot failure. Can anyone help me with this? I’m going mad trying to figure it out myself.

What CPU AIO liquid cooler did you install? Are you upgrading from air cooled CPU?
Post a few good photos of the inside of your R10 so we can see what you have going on.

@Korie_420 did you also get the VRM heatsinks?
You used the Intel mounting bracket with the 115x standoffs?
The 3-pin pump power cable in connected to FAN_CPU motherboard header?
What is more than 20 characters??

@ProfessorW00d I put the 3 pin in the fan pump and the 4 pin is in the top fan
from what I gather everything is placed correctly

@Korie_420 it is not . . . 3-pin pump power cable needs to go to FAN_CPU header.
Which standoffs did you use?

@Korie_420 3-pin pump power cable connects to FAN_CPU header.
It is possible the Corsair fan will throw the startup diagnostic error.

@Korie_420 Yes . . . FAN_CPU header
Do you remember which standoffs you used?
