Hello,
The other day I just bought my first AIO cooler to cool down my 8700k, the fractal design s36. The installation went butter smooth and the instructions were fairly clear, except for one thing. With the fractal design s36, You connect the fans to a fan header of sorts that then goes down the tubbing and is joined by the AIO pump wire, only one wire then comes out the bottom that you have to connect. I want to use the PWM function on the cooler, and so I was wondering if you connect that wire (both fan and pump at the same time) to the AIO pump header on the motherboard (ASUS maximus hero X) or the CPU fan header on the motherboard.
I connected it to the AIO pump header right now, but I had to disable cpu fan monitoring in the bios to boot properly, and I am not sure if I can control the fan curve later on. I am also pretty sure the fans (currently not the fractal design ones, but corsair hd 120s) are spinning up to 100% at all time, keeping my cpu 1 degree over room temps at idle.
So my question is do you connect it to the AIO pump header, the cpu fan header or is there some software that will help fix this problem?
Thanks so much for your help!
