So I got the MSI B85 G43 and a CM 690 III. Then I got 3 CM sickle flow fans, moving the 200mm that came with the case to the top as out accompanied with one of my sickle flows at the back. Then putt the other two in the front as intakes. This seemed all good but then I connected my sickle flow to sys 3 fan connector and powered on my computer. In the bios I was able to set both my other fans to run at 50% which gave me about ~1200rpm, but setting sys 3 to 50% left is running at ~2200rpm. So the fan mus be faulty, but connecting the fan to sys2 and sys1 gives me control and connecting any of my other fans to sys 3 gives me no control. So, please tell me, is there something wrong with my motherboard or can I fix it? -
So im trying to control the fans connected to my CPU header. Using : Gigabyte 990XA-UD3 Win 10 The Problems: If im using EasyTune6 im getting always an error at startup, "This driver can't release to failure" . As i have red there is now no way to block or solve this Problem. The i thought, i could SpeedFan instead to the point i realized i cant control the fans with it, but i just dont know why. No matter what option i select, further more the is not even a way to control it over the voltage. How to Solve: Im know out of ideas..... Either i can block or solve the error message of ET6, or the is a way to get SpeedFan working. Are there other ways to control the fans ? Take a cookie

can i use software to control the fans on my msi gaming 5 and if so whats the best one to use

I just upgraded my motherboard and I want to know why I should set my 2 intake fans to as well as my exaust and cpu fan?! Plse help

The description says that the Aquacomputer Poweradjust 3 USB can control 9 fans but only has one power out so does that mean they are all on one header? I'm looking to control 6 120mm Noctua fans for an upgrade that I'm slowing putting together. I don't have any 5.25" bays for a fan controller and I want finer control than is granted by my mobo so I was hoping this would work. If you know of a different solution I'm all ears. Best thing would be if Corsair still sold their link command mini station but so far I've only seen it in stock in an Australian store and they don't ship overseas

I'm looking for a Program to control the speed of my fans in my computer, i currently am using MSI Afterburner for my GPU fan and it works well. But i want to know if there is a program that will boost Fan speed over 100% and/or be able to control the speed % while in-game with the customizable keys on my gaming mouse without minimizing the game becasue i have a overlay to monitor GPU temps while Gaming. along side the FPS overlay Also in Afterburner i can only select core temps to display (core 0, 1, 2 ,3 ect) and Speedfan (not a overlay) shows CPU temp 35c,single cpu core temps ( Core0, 1, 2, 3 ect) how do i get it to show in afterburner as a game overlay as actual CPU temp ( not singe core temps ) i have a Intel i7 4790 Thank you

Hello, and thanks for reading this already! A stupid question: I'm getting a motherboard with software to control the CPU cooler's cooling. Does this cooler need to be PWM? Thanks in advance!

The original CPU fan was very faulty and I had to replace it. I bought a cooler master sickleflow 120mm and I successfully removed the original CPU fan and replaced it with the new one. The problem I have now is that I can't control the fan anymore. I noticed the fan didn't have the extra pin hole but I didn't think it would be a problem because the other chassis fans only have 3 pins and I can control them just fine. But I can't. I have been using ASUS Fan Xpert 2. I tried changing the RPM settings in the BIOS and I also tested it with SpeedFan program and no luck. The CPU Fan is always running at 100%. Is there a way to control the CPU fan? My motherboard has 2 CPU fan connectors, would be there any difference if I connect it in the other one? Kind of off topic question: If I can't control the CPU fan it will be always running at 2000 rpm. Will that somehow cause any problems with the air flow? Do I have to increase the other fans rpms to match the CPU fan? Setup > I have 4 fans: 1 front fan 200 mm running at 450 rpm 1 top fan 200 mm running at 450 rpm 1 back fan 120 mm running at 1400 rpm 1 CPU fan 120 mm running at 2000 rpm Thanks in advance.

Hey guys. I've got a problem with my h100i. I can't control fan speed whatsoever through corsair link. After seeing a build log Linus made where he attached all system fans to an h100i and controlled them through software with corsair link, I set out to do the same to my build. Here's where I stand now: h100i is plugged in correctly and is receiving power Fans have been plugged in correctly and are receiving power Pump coolant is circulating and cooling the processor correctly h100i is being detected in corsair link and by windows h100i firmware is up do date, according to link Link detects all 4 fans and accurately displays RPM information All fans that I'm using are from corsair (SP120 Quiet on the rad, AF140 Quiet in the case) and all fans are using 3-pin connectors. The fans were able to be controlled previously by my onboard motherboard connectors (Asus SABERTOOTH z-97 Mk. 1) with little to no issue. Any ideas? I've tried everything that I know how to do with conventional troubleshooting, and I'm ready just to blame it on the software and call it a day -Ryan

Greetings! I used to be an Apple guy but it is not what it used to be so I have recently decided to just buy the parts and build my own system, therefore keep in mind that I am a noob when it comes to building PCs, configuring them, etc. The relevant components are: Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 7 i7 4790K (no OC) + Cooler Master Nepton 280L Three more fans that come with Cooler Master Cosmos SE case and the case itself The problem I have got is that the default fan setup is plain ridiculous. The fans make sudden jumps to high RPM during simple tasks, presumably when the CPU activity jumps up for a very short amount of time. For example, when I boot into Windows and the automatically launched programs pop up, it goes up for about half a second and then calms down again. When I open the browser, it jumps up and suddenly returns. You get the point... I have downloaded the lastest Gigabyte App Center with System Information Viewer which allows me to customise the temp v. fan power curve, but a) I am not sure what are the best settings in order to keep it quiet, yet ready to cool itself down under heavy load quick enough, and B) the soddy program does not feature any save button, only apply, and there is no documentation at all. First time, it did not save anything, second time it did, as it seems, but I had been playing with UEFI fan settings so it may have been it. My current idle core temperatures according to Real Temp are between 25 and 32 degrees C and when I run Far Cry 4 at ultra, the maximum values I get are up to 60 degrees C, usually around 40 to 50, I believe. The GPU temperature idles at 30 degrees C and the maximum after playing the game for about an hour reached 73 degrees C, while the fans are not extra noisy and relatively stable at speeds now that I have fiddled with the curves a bit. 1. Are those temperatures below average, normal, or above average, considering the whole setup? I have looked up various test results but it is difficult to compare all variables (I have not found the exact same combination of the CPU, cooler, GPU, fan settings). 2. Could it be a sign of improper installation? I am worried about the usual thermal grease bit. I have used the pea way without spreading but it is difficult to determine if it was done correctly. 3. I have read that using Prime 95 with Haswell chips is not advised, sadly only after trying Prime 95 Small FFT, during which the temperatures had gone straight up to 100 degrees C, after which I quickly shut it down. Now, some say that all Haswell chips do that while other say that the run the stress test at 70 degrees C tops with a cooler similar to mine (Corsair H100i), but some add that turbo was disabled or other detail just to make their report fairly useless... Is there a reliable consensus on the state of things? Should the CPU with stock settings be able to handle that load or is it a sign of loose contact, bad thermal grease application, ... whatever? I have just ran AIDA64 to give you some more figures in case it was important. During its CPU FPU stress test, the core temperatures reach 75 to 81 degrees C while the CPU clock tops at 4.4 GHz and core voltage at 1.284 V. Finally, generally speaking, is it best to set the fan response to temperature linearly, or use discrete steps? Thanks! -
I have 3 PWM fans in my sys fan headers on my mobo(MSI b85m-g43, I know it only has 2 headers I have 2 on a spliter) and my fans should be able to reach 500 rpm but no matter what I do its always above 1000 rpm even at idle. Any ideas? -
Hello All, First off, apologies, I'm sure this is a topic that's been brought up before, but I couldn't seem to find a search function on the forum, unless I'm totally blind. If that's the case, feel free to delete this thread. Pointing me in the direction of a previous discussion would also be greatly appreciated =) Basically, I'm looking for a reliable way to control the RPM of all my case fans, much like I can do with my four radiator fans on my H100i over Corsair Link. I currently have a Rampage III Formula motherboard, which (between BIOS options and the only compatible version of FanXpert, v1) doesn't allow for much control over the fans other than setting the temperature thresholds that will kick the fans into either "max" or "low" speeds, and that's it, no control in between. -> I plan to upgrade to the MSI X99S SLI board, which I'm unsure about as far as BIOS fan control options go. (I'm not sure if BIOS fan control options and setting target RPMs there is even a thing, please correct me if I'm wrong) -I'd prefer to avoid a 5.25" bay fan controller, as I currently have my drives occupying the 5.25 bay space in my case (R5) -I'm not opposed to internal units like the Corsair Link Cooling Kit (sits in a 3.5" bay), but I haven't heard great things about that unit. Are there any like it? -I plan to have 4 PWM case fans that I'd like to control, radiator fans will still be handled by corsair link. -Is there any (reliable) software that can control the PWM fans plugged into my motherboard? Thanks in advance for the help, it's much appreciated! -Alex R.

Hello, and thanks for reading this already! This is maybe (probably) a stupid question, but can you use normal, 3 pin fans in a fan controller? Please don't hate me Thanks in advance!

Hi guys! So I've just got three Noctua NF-F12 PWM fans, and I plugged them to the motherboard, instead of my case's integrated fan controller - 2 of them plugged with LNA, the 3rd plugged in the CPU optional fan connector, and I also have a Fractal Design fan plugged also with a LNA. The problem, is that, except for the fan plugged in the CPU_OPT connector, I cannot control the other fans in AI Suite III... Here you can see that I can control the fan plugged in the CPU_OPT connector: And here you can see that I can't control the other fans: Is there anything I could do?

Hi guys. I've got an annoying issue with fan controls after OS clean install. The config: Chassis Fan 1 & 2 are Corsair AF120 Performance edition (3 pin headers) Chassis Fan 3 - Empty Chassis Fan 4 - Stock corsair 120 fan from 350d case (4 pins) + H100i with 2 fans connected to the pump and Corsair Link installed (tried to uninstall and check - same issue) So: I can't control 1 & 2 & 4: set custom curve or in any other way adjust their speed from AI suite 3 ( I believe I've could in earlier OS installation). I can adjust speed in BIOS (done BIOS reset couple times, also updated to latest). When global fan profile set to full speed in AI suite, all fans ramp up as expected, also when identifying location of a fan - they stop. I've re-installed AI suite couple times now, OS updates in place. Did I miss something that causing this (is there a difference if 3pin and 4 pin fans used in one system)? No idea what to do next.

I am using a Swiftech H220 water cooling kit and using its PWM splitter. The splitter just links the PWM sense (tacho) signal from whatever that is connected on its channel 1, using pin 3. I am using the Water pump on channel 1 it should read the tacho and control using the PWM control, which is on Pin 4, shared on all devices connected to spiltter. Since the Water pump and all the fans with the Kit are PWM enabled, I can connect any of them on channel 1 and the CPU fan speed is calibrated on that pwm slave. I used to connect the pump on channel 1 and it was working fine for over 9 months. With both the rad fans being pwm controlled using the pump's speed. This is prescribed way of connecting the water cooling unit to the mobo and psu as shown in this diag Recently I had a problem with the H220 unit, with the motherboard not sensing the pump speed. So i RMA'd the unit, but was told that there is no problem with the pump, Now when I connect the unit using the splitter, the CPU header fails to read the pump speed. It is regulating all devices on splitter using PWM control but no PWM sense. So to test, I connected the pump directly to the CPU fan header and presto, I am getting the tacho. Tried the same with other fans, and the mobo is reading the tacho. So I double checked the splitter, did continuity check as well as pin check on the splitter. Its all correct. I used one of the helix pwm fans on channel 1 still no tacho. I tried connecting the splitter on to another mobo opt fan header, no tacho. One advantage of using the splitter is that I can use a direct 12V rail from the PSU (Corsair TX750). And it is advised not to connect the pump directly to mobo, due to power requirements and the occasional surge current from the motor. Why the mobo is detecting the PWM sense when the unit is directly connected? Why it doesn't when using the splitter. I would prefer to use the splitter given the power requirements of the pump motor. Is this a possible ground plane problem on them mobo?

I started using Chasis fans 1-3 on the mobo. I set up custom profiles on each fan and applied and saved them to the fan profiles. This works perfectly fine, until I shut down the the computer, the computer sleeps, or do a restart. Then AI suite loads whatever default fan control graph it has. How do I set my custom profiles to load at default on startup?

So I've just added an extra sensor on my custom loop to control my fans dependent on the water temperature. I've attached the sensor to T_SENSOR1 on my ASUS Z97 Ranger, the temperature reports correctly in BIOS and in Fan Xpert (I have another sensor in my loop which outputs to a dedicated display). All good so far! I've setup my fans to change speeds at 30°C, 35°C and 40°C. My system idles at about 27°C (25°C ambiant). I've set the fans to ramp up drastically when it hits 35°C. This is all in Fan Xpert. The problem comes when gaming (or any CPU intensive application). The system simple ignores the temperature changes in SENSOR_1. I can see on the other sensor in my loops which is connected to a dedicated display that the water temp is getting to around 42°C, but the fans remain at idle. This issue becomes obvious when I alt tab or close the application, after about 5 seconds the fans ramp up to their correct speeds per the water temp. The sensor seems to simple get ignored when other applications need CPU power. Any thoughts, anyone else having this issue? In my mind this makes the sensor input on the motherboard basically useless. I've found older threads on the ROG forums that detail the exact same issue, but none have any solutions: http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?51612-Fan-Xpert-in-game-application-PWM-control-problems http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?47408-Fan-Expert-3-SmartMode-doesn-t-work-with-SENSOR1 Note: I'm running the latest version of the BIOS for my mobo. Fans are PWM controlled.

Hey guys what fan controller software do you use and what are your experiences with it?

Hi all, I have a Corsair 350D with 4 Corsair AF140 fans inside that are REALLY loud. I need to pick out a fan controller that will quieten my system down. Any recommendations ?? I wanted to get an NZXT fan controller but heard there are some problems with component noise... Thnx !
-
Hey everyone, I just purchased a Sycthe kq01-bk to quieten down my four AF140's in my Corsair 350D. It did it's job real good and when the PC was under my desk I couldn't hear a thing... But the problem is that my PC sits ON my desk... I could just about hear the fans spinning and knowing myself I would never accept the fact I could have swapped it for another with NO sound at all. And another reason why I'm switching is because this fan controller ranges from 5.6V-12V ( 40% - 100% ) and I need a bit more headroom since I had them all the way down So I found this Lian-Li fan controller that fits into my 3,5" bay just like this one and ranges from 3,7V-12V (20%-100%) giving me the desired level of fan speed and noise. Will this solve my problem with noise ?? Thnx !

Hey all! I'm looking for some help with a good fan control solution for my case. My 900D is currently packed with 18 fans :blink: :blink: :blink: Right now I have all these hooked up to some NZXT Grid hubs, which work great for powering the fans. Unfortunately, this give me no fan speed control! (NZXT Grid uses a 3-pin hub-to-mobo connection). This is leaving my system sounding roughly like a jet engine. I am looking for a solution that will allow me a minimum of two control points (one for radiator fans, one for some/most of the others) and preferably does NOT use a 5.25" drive bay as I would like to keep the front of the case pretty. I have looked at Corsair Link, but they are very hard to find in stock and I'm seeing mixed reviews on the cooling node. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
-
I am looking to use Corsair Link to setup my system for fan control and system monitoring. Has anyone used the software/hardware? Does it work well? Is setup simple or awful? I have seen a number of very mixed review online I figured the LTT folks would be the best source of info =D Thanks!

Hey guys, All of my fans are plugged into my ASUS P8P67 PRO motherboard, but some of them seem to be running at full speed all the time. Only the rear fan can be controlled with Speedfan, while the rest do not appear to respond. Is there any software that I could use to monitor and change the speed of the fans?
