  1. The h100i Platinum has its own sata power. If the aio pump header is 2 amps, that would work, but I think using it loses control of the pump running it at full 100%.
  2. I want to connect 6 fans to the CPU fan header and Asus technical support said the header has an auto cap of 1amp. So even if 6 fans use over 1amp they would just run at a lower rpm. A previous rep said this was not the case. Q#1 Does anyone know if my motherboard has an auto 1amp cap and I have not heard of an auto safe cap (is it even a thing)? Q#2 If at PC start up the fans try to use 100% or over 1Amp, would this damage the motherboard or just run at a lower RPM? Thanks!!! :))))) Motherboard Strix z370i has a CPU fan header rated at 1AMP. Plan is to run 6 fans capped at 50% using the H100i Platinum which is under 1Amp. 6 Fans - 2 triple fan splitters - H100i 2 fan connectors - H100i connected to 1Amp CPU fan header. (Corsair said the Pumps runs of Sata power and the fans run off CPU header power) Fan specs 2 included ML 120 RGB fans (lights disconnected), 4 ML 120 standard. All 2400 RMP, each 0.219 amp x6 = 1.314Amp.
  3. Thanks for the recommendation. I was thinking about trying something else next time or less superglue/more air circulation. Use silicon between the IHS and dye where I scraped off the intel sealant? (I want to say I heard using glue on the outside corners makes a closer fit? better performance?)
  4. Looking up CPU OC for cache next and trying to find more things to tinker with!
  5. Just added. Got the numbers from my UPS if that helps. -40w for 2 montiors.
  6. Hi I received a lot of help from the LTT forums in the past, and thought I would share some of my experiments, (might not be interesting). Build; 8700k, Strix z370i (bios426), 32gb Vengeance 3200, EVGA 1080 FTWdt, H100i (pull2700rpm,pump max), Corsair SF450, PM961 512 raid-0. RealBench 2.43 15min-4h, HWiNFO64 v5.58. Google sheets 8700k LLC logs 100+ The first 2 sets of data should make sense; I logged 4.7 twice for baseline; 4.7auto voltage then set at 1.2 llc4. Everything below the first 2 rows is just scrap paper and I only logged less than half my tests.... 1st time getting into OC'ing and only found 2 videos on youtube about LLC. After my 8700k 4.9 1.32v crash and 1.39 throttled, I started to play with LLC and it seemed to help alot. LLC 4 worked in many places. LLC 2 & 3 worked some. LLC 5, 6, 7 never really made any improvements. Tomorrow I will be delidding/TG Conductonaut, swapping arctic silver 5 for thermal grizzly kryonaut and replacing SP2700L for ML120s. Let me know if I should try anything before it all gets changed or explain to me what mad science I just did....
  7. Thanks for the info. The Asus rog strix has 2 m.2 slots (1 front +heatsink/1back). The only other mini is asrock and it does not have 2 slots so guess Asus is my choice.
  8. What is the best mini-ITX (overclock, raid nvme, etc) z370? Asus right now?
  9. You might have already found it but here is bench for PM961 256gb (not 512). speeds 3389/1405.

  10. Hello, I had a tech question and after searching NVMe raid for adobe premiere, I only found 1 video about it. What is better (total 3 drives)? Thanks for any answers! 3 drives A. Drive #1 NVMe (OS), Drive #2 NVMe (project/source), Drive #3 SSD 840 Pro for cache. OR Raid NVMe and 1 SSD B. Use both NVMe drives in raid for (OS) and (project/source) then SSD for cache. Speeds PM961 read/write (IOPS) 2800/1600 (260k/260k) 840 Pro 540/520 (98k/90k) @2:20
  11. Oh wow both fans RPMs change when I calibrate either. Thanks that solved problem #3: #3 When I calibrate the CPU fan the 3 case fans and 1 CPU heatsink fan ramp up and when I calibrate the system fan again the 3 case fans and 1 CPU heatsink fan ramp up. Still have problem #1 and #2 but I guess it is not that big of an issue now. #1 The "CPU Fan" settings show the RPM 605-2519 (I connected the 3 Corsair ML120 as case fans 400-2400 RPM to the CPU fan header so it should not show the Silverstone RPM) #2 The "System Fan 1" settings show the RPM 624-2377(I connected the 1 CPU Silverstone AR06 heatsink fan 1200-2500 RPM to the System fan header so it should not show the Corsair RPM) The "CPU Fan" tab should show the case fan RPM 624-2377 and the "System Fan 1" tab should show the CPU RPM 1200-2519 because that is how I connected them.
  12. Yes, 1 week ago with the same Gigabyte z170n gaming MB; I had the silverstone ar06 fan connected to the cpu_header and 2 Corsair ML120 case fans connected to the system fan header. The CPU and CPU OPT (system fan) showed the correct numbers. Now I connected the silverstone ar06 fan to the system fan header and added 1 fan, so now 3 Corsair case fans connected to the CPU fan header. Now the max RPM displayed on the CPU is 2528 as shown in the picture, but I have a corsair ML120 fan connected to the CPU header so it should show max 2376. The max RPM displayed on the CPU_OPT is 2376 but I have the Silverstone ar06 fan connected so it show show max 2528. The Gigabyte SIV controller also shows the same RPMs. I also can easily hear all 4 fans ramp up when I only calibrate the system fan header (1 fan).
