Asus Rampage V Extreme, fan header questions

Chiobe · July 28, 2015

1)

I have my pump conncected to the cpu header on the motherboard.

I have been going over the settings in both the bios and the AI Suite 3, but I cant find an option for "shutdown on failure", which is a must when dealing with a water cooled system.

2)

The board seems to group the fans into 4 groups, which is a pain to deal with.

Is there anyway to ungroup them?

1) AFAIK as long as you have enabled the CPU Fan Monitoring the system should shut down automatically, or fail to boot. You can test this by simply unplugging the CPU header. I had nothing on my CPU fan header(s) when I initially built my system (another ASUS X99 board) and it refused to POST until I had something connected. I would assume the reverse would be true.

2) Are you talking about within AI Suite 3, or within the Q-Fan section of the BIOS? Q-Fan within the BIOS should simply list all of the currently connected fans and their respective headers (aside from CPU_OPT which reflects CPU_Fan settings).

2) Both. They only list 4 groups. I had to shuffle around my cables, to prevent my radiator fans from being the speed of the case fan.
