What fan is it? Corsair? The cable doesn't disconnect from fan, the other end of it will be attached to either a fan hub or to a fan header on the motherboard. Either way you'd need to follow the wire back to it's end and disconnect in order to fully remove it. You'll need to open the side panel...
Bearing might have failed, and yes sometimes a stubby screwdriver is needed. I think I had to resort to just using a screwdriver bit and turn it by hand to get a fan off previously. If PC is still under warranty, PC should replace, contact PCS to arrange a RMA
Sounds a bit unbalanced air flow wise, if you have 5 intake and just one exhaust. I'm surprised AIO is set to intake, it's normally exhaust, at the top.
I'd use HWInfo over iCUE to get system stats. Not sure why you need icue running if you don't have Corsair cooling. But if the peak load on...
Yeah, OEM case so will be hard to find much info on it out in the wild. You might have to resort to using a measuring tape to determine max cooler height etc. The front case fans are 120mm though, so any standard 120mm fans can replace them. Pretty sure that case comes with SATA fans, which...
M.2 Drive is installed in one of three slots in this motherboard:
I'd say in the top one, under the heatsink/cover. Which you'll need to unscrew first.
Yep, as Spyder said, no boot drive, or any drive for that matter showing. So it could be the M.2 drive has become loose on the motherboard and needs to be reinserted, or worst case, the drive has failed and the BIOS is not able to detect it. Do you think you have the knowledge/skills to try...
So I'd disagree with Spyder's view (sorry!) that case fans should run at static speed, this is not true. If case fans were run at a static speed, you'd either have the fan running at a low speed that gives quieter acoustics, but not enough performance when temps rise, or vice versa. They are...

Tool to cleanly uninstall graphic drivers, in case corrupt drivers are causing issues. Not normally needed for updating drivers, but no harm in following the step detailed on the link to remove the existing drivers...
Couple of checks:
1) You've connected monitor to the GPU, and not the motherboard HDMI/DP connection?
2) Have you done a complete uninstall of GPU drivers using DDU, and reinstall?
Couple of issues at first glance
Slow ram, 6000 is the sweet spot for Ryzen
Strange drive setup. I’d get a fast gen 4 M.2 for OS, 500GB is fine, 1TB max. Then a second larger drive for games and data. 2TB ideally. Gen4 if budget stretches, but with Gen3 you wouldn’t see a noticeable performance...
You should contact PCS directly about this. Temps do seem high for liquid cooling, so something is not working as intended. Liquid cooling has a higher level of complexity and require regular maintenance. They’re best suited to someone who has experience of building PCs previously rather than a...
