Remove the panel and look inside, there should be two hoses coming out of the pump that sits on top of the cpu, else you see a fan on top of a finned heatsink.
I selected Liquid Cooling when I bought it but I have a feeling it didn't come with it.
I opened up the computer and I didn't see the thing with the Alien head?
How can I make sure it has it? That's why I'm trying to find out where it would say "CPU Pump"
Once you have the side panel off and swing the PSU out of the way, it's very easy to tell. If you have a block with an alien head logo and two rubber tubes coming out of it, then you've got a water cooled CPU. If you have something like a heatsink with fan on top, then it's an air cooled processor.
You can also use a flashlight and look through the grills on top of the computer. If you see a radiator through the slats, then you've got an AIO closed looped cooler installed.
Thank you for such a fast reply, I really appreciate it.
I'm not sure what the CPU looks like and I don't want to start moving things around. I will be posting a picture soon , maybe you can tell me what to move?
There power supply is fitted in a hinged metal cage - there are two tabs that lock it in place - there are little padlocks with arrows that show which way the tabs are to be moved to lock/unlock.
Download the manual if in doubt. The cage will swing out of the ways -see video below.
I do see a radiator through the top of PC What is a AIO closed looped cooler? assume its the water cooled option I selected with the PC. I haven't opened the case but AWCC says CPU pump running.
Can you please tell me where in the AWCC it would say "CPU Pump Running"?
I don't see it anywhere, so still not sure if my computer has one, or if I'm just not seeing it in AWCC
Thanks for your time and help
This is what it should look like. You may need to install bios version 1.0.17 if you have a liquid cooled CPU and all you see is CPU fan running at 100%.

AIO stands for 'All in one'. It just means that it's a closed loop (you can't refill it as there's no separate reservoir) system that includes a radiator and an Asetak-type cooling block with a pump built in. In our case, it also includes a fan. Some 3rd party AIO's can be purchased with or without fans. All will need a fan however.

AWCC lists "CPU Pump" right from turning the PC on does that mean water cooled? I probably should assume so but wanted to dbl. chk
