If the fan is making noise, a bearing may be defective. You should be able to find the fan as a spare part. Simply unscrew the fan to see the type designation on the sticker and then search on digitec.ch or Google.
Yes, you can install the AIO water cooler in a Hyte Y70 case. The Y70 supports radiators up to 360 mm inside, which is sufficient for most AIO water coolers. Make sure that the radiator is not thicker than 30 mm to ensure that it fits easily.
You can place the previously applied thermal compound of the NZXT Kraken 360 RGB on your AM5 chip without any problems. The thermal compound is already pre-applied and ready for installation.
No, that doesn't sound like a software problem either. It is possible that only one connector is no longer connected correctly to the mainboard/hub. Otherwise there is a defect (I have already built 3 PCs with the cooler).
Unfortunately, we do not know when the third-party retailer will be offering this item again. I recommend that you add the item to your watch list and check back from time to time.
