MSI MEG Core Liquid S360 Cpu Cooler is shown as a removable usb device in the system tray

Hi,
I recently installed a MEG S360 cpu cooler to replace a Noctua cpu cooler. To my surprise, the MSI Core Liquid S360 is shown as a removable usb device in the system tray as well as in Device Manager. The S360 is my first liquid cpu cooler experience. Is this normal for an AIO cpu cooler? Other than this anomaly, the MEG S360 performs as expected.
Any advice or suggestions are appreciated.

It has a USB connection so yes it will be normal

Thank you. My next question, is there a way to disable the "safely remove" status of the liquid cooler in Windows 11? I am concerned that the S360 might inadvertently be "removed" while the system is running.

Even if it's removed, it won't cause too much of trouble since the consequence will only be MSI Center not recognizing the cooler and most likely it'll come back after a reboot.
