I recently upgraded my CPU from a Ryzen 3 4100 to a Ryzen 5 5600, and now my AIO cooler isn't being recognized in iCUE or the BIOS. As a result, my CPU is overheating quickly. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this issue?

You might want to check the AIO contact. If the BIOS is outdated or the radiator isn't actually operational, that could be causing the detection problem.
It sounds like your AIO cooler might not be connected properly to the motherboard. Make sure it's plugged into the right header.
I checked the plug on the motherboard, and it looks fine. It's a CPU cooler fan header, but my motherboard doesn't have a specific AIO header.
Is your AIO pump connected to a fan header or the AIO pump header? Double-check that.
I couldn't find an AIO pump header; it's connected to the fan header. It was working fine until I switched CPUs, so I think the BIOS mix-up caused the issue.
The pump isn't running at all since it's not detected by the BIOS. I think that's the main issue.
