Hey everyone, I'm switching my one year old setup to a new case with 6 new argb Artic P12 fans. My case will be the Corsair 4000D. My motherboard is a Asus B550-F Gaming. I attached my motherboard layout so you can see what headers I have. I would like to plug the 3 front fans (intake), 1 fan in the back (exhaust) and the 2 on my CPU cooler radiator (exhaust). How can I plug all those fans and have access to control all of them, rpm and lighting? The front one will always be the same speed and probably the same color, so might be easier. But if there's a way I can individually control all my fans I would be happy. For sure the CPU fan I want them to go with the CPU temperature but still want to be able to control the lighting. Will I need a controller, a hub or something else in that setup? How would you plug everything? I'm open to suggestions. Would you use the application of the motherboard for the lighting effect(Aura Sync), Corsair Icue, or something else? Thanks in advance!

Hello people, After hours of frustration with the Corsair H100X (I would not recomment buying it, the pump is quite loud and you can't change its RPM) I decided to buy the NZXT Kraken X53 after reading tons of postive reviews. My motherboard has a CPU_FAN header and a CPU_OPT header. The pump is powered by sata and connected to the computer via usb 2.0 internally, but it also has a 3 pin fan plug. This is to my knowledge just there so that the motherboard can see what RPM the pump working at, not to regulate it. That's done through software. My question is, where do I plug this thing into and where the fans. Do the fans plug into the cpufan header and the pumps pwm indicator thingy into cpu_opt or the other way around. I'd be glad if anyone with a simular AiO could tell me how they did it. Please, let's not get into a discussion about which AiO to pick. I've read billions of threads and I don't want my mind to change again. It took me very long to make a decision xD Thanks in advance!

Hi all, need some help here. My friend just built a new system and was installing a 4 pin rgb strip. Everything worked fine until the end of the strip which you can cut to resize it touched a cpu fan header. At this point the whole system turned off and would no turn back on. We have tested the psu on a different pc and works fine, tried a different power socket, re-seated ram and reconnected all cables and everything seemed to work fine the day we finished building it, windows was running fine and temps were great. As soon as he installed the rgb strip and accidentally touched the end on the pins everything switched off and would not turn back on. Any ideas how's this could happen and how we could fix it. We assumed that the pins shorted out but are unsure how this damages the whole motherboard. Also the chip circled at the bottom of the mobo got really hot so im not sure if that's got anything to do with it. Specs are as follows: i5 11600k Arctic Freezer II 280 GTX 1060 Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x4gb 2133mhz Gigabyte Z490 UD rev 1.0 (BIOS was flashed successfully) Artic PSU 750W Lian Li Lancool 215

So, I built a new PC after my old PC broke down, and it does post. The problem however is, that the intake fan which is connected to the SYS_FAN_2 header doesn't spin. the other fan does spin (connected to the SYS_FAN_1 header). When I switch the connections, (in -> fan_1, ex -> fan_2) the intake fan spins, the exhaust fan doesn't. ==> The one connected to SYS_FAN_1 works, the one connected to SYS_FAN_2 doesn't. Also the BIOS doesn't show the fan connected at SYS_FAN_2. This to me pointed towards a faulty header at first, but I got a replacement from the vendor and it has the same problem. I made a bios update to the most recent version. Is this a known problem with this mainboard or do I have very bad luck getting 2 faulty ones in a row? Or is there a BIOS-setting I didn't see? If it's a known problem: Do you have recommendations for another mainboard at around the same price tag? The specs I think are important are: Mainboard: Gigabye x570 Aorus Elite (BIOS version F31, latest) CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (with the included boxed cooler) BeQuiet Dark Power Pro (750W 80+ gold) BeQuiet Pure Base 500 (with included Fans) The other specs, if I forgot something: OS: Windows 10 Ultimate 64 bit 2x16GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro RAM (3200MHz XMP profile 1) Some GeForce GTX 750 TI (forgot the integrator tbh) Samsung 970 EVO 500 GB boot drive 3 SanDisk SSDs and 2 HDDs Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello everyone! So I have bought this Inter-Tech 4U 4410 case for my home server. It has 3 hot-swappable fans, which are powered via this Molex connector. Next to the Molex connector is a strange 6-pin connector that I have never seen before. Do you know what this connector is and how it works? I saw this video where Intermit.Tech also got an Inter-Tech server case, but in his, the connector is a normal 4-pin fan header. My goal is to connect the 3 fans via this connector to the mainboard using F2F cable and adjust the speed via PWM. Is it possible to do this with this 6-pin connector or is this connector for something else? Would be very thankful if you could help me out!

Hi! I wanted to de-solder a 4-pin fan header off of a motherboard from a DELL small-form-factor PC (Dell Optiplex 7040). This is the pin as seen from the front: I thought it would be as easy as removing the motherboard and flipping it over, heating up the pins from the back with a soldering iron until the solder melted, and using a solder sucker to remove it, and finally dragging out the header. But when I tried to heat up the pins the solder simply wouldn't melt after many minutes of heating. Are motherboards made using solder with a much higher melting temperature than regular soldering tin? What sort of tools do computer technicians use to do these sort of operations on a computer? PS: This is a computer I'm not afraid to accidentally destroy, although I don't think It's easy to do that when just desoldering a header. If you're curious, I'm doing this because I have an Optiplex 7060 (higher specs) that has an almost identical motherboard, except it does not have a system fan header like this one, but it DOES have four holes in the exact same place labelled "FAN_SYS" so I thought I would transplant the header from this PC to the better one.

Need help from anyone who owns an AORUS Pro x570 itx board. I'm eyeing the Aorus Pro x570 ITX board as it supported both my CPU and my RAM was on the QVL, but I noticed that SYSFAN_2 header socket is inverted and is a dedicate header for the m.2 slot... I find this super stupid, as it means there's only technically 2 fan headers available. Is there a cable included to be able to use that header like a normal fan header? Or is the only option to pretty much cut off the plastic guard? I'm in need of upgrading my motherboard, due to potentially my one being bogus and I'll just upgrade it whilst I'm at it rather than fighting with my half capable retailer. (Story is here if you're interested) I was checkign out the x570 lines as they do support 2700x and in the future I'll be able to upgrade my CPU into 5000 series at least, and hopefully 6000. Also, how important is the RAM QVL list in terms of support? As per acryonm the QVL is Qualified Vender List, so it's tested by the makers that the parts work 100% I know that, but If I get a mobo that doesn't have my RAM in the QVL how much of a gamble is it in terms of support; again the link in the above sentence might give some context in terms of why I'm asking this. If the SYSFAN_2 is not available for normal header use then I might as well just get a ASUS Strix board. -
Hi. My motherboard only has 1 case fan header. I've got 2 pmw fans (0.259amp) to go in the front of the case and 2 x 3 pin fans to go in the back. Can I use a 3 way Y splitter off the cpu fan header to run the 2 pmw fans and the wraith stealth fan on my cpu and then use a 2 way Y splitter for the 2x 3 pin fans at the back?

Hi I need some help identifying this fan header and whether is supports PWM fans. It's the CHA_FAN1 highlighted in red in the picture. The 4th pin doesn't say PWM like the CPU_FAN its says +5V. Any help would be great!

Hi guys, I got one of these in a pre boxed open loop watercooling loop kit from EK. It died when my PC was hit by a power surge, so now I want to replace it with another one. It is essentially two white LEDs that are powered by a fan header. It is inserted into the side of the plexi CPU block from EK. The only ones I can find online now are powered by a dreaded molex connector.

So long story short i ended up with a dead 650ti boost and i thought id try the oven method for shits and giggles as well as a chance to bring it back from the dead. ive run into a problem with removing the fan header. Linus in this guide below mentioned doing it but neglected to show how. Anyone know how to do this?

So I am planning my new build, and I decided on using an EVGA X270 FTW K motherboard. However, in the manual it says: ALL FAN HEADERS HAVE A MAXIMUM POWER LIMIT OF 1 AMP @ 12 VOLTS (12 WATTS) EXCEDING THIS LIMIT WILL CAUSE IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO THE BOARD. (they did the caps, not me) Now, I had decided on either corsair sp or corsair hd 120mm fans, both of which take 7-13.2v, according to the specs page. I know that maximum output voltage of the fan headers on the board can be edited, between bios and Corsair Link, but upon the first boot, how will the system react? Is the board made to only output up to 12v unless overrode in the bios (in which case I'd be safe), or will the fans try to take 13v, and cause the "irreparable damage" (presumably a broken fan header). Thank you for any help!

I have a asus prime b350m-k which has only 1 fan header. I also have 3x circle cg 16xr fans. Can someone check the max amperage of this mobo and tell whether i can connect all 3 or not? Thanks!

Hi All, I have a question, I have received a new ROG Strix Z390-i motherboard, upon installing the be quiet! Dark Rock Slim CPU cooler I noticed that one of the fan header has one of the center pins bent a few degrees (CPU_FAN), it was either the CPU FAN IN or CPU FAN PWR. I was able to plug in the fan I did not bend it back and it is currently working fine (I'm typing from this PC now). My question is whether it really is OK and whether one of those pins is used only for specific situations and can cause problems later on. I do not want to RMA the motherboard as so far it is working fine. As I do not have much experience with this I want to know what people with more knowledge think.

I have these cooler master fans in my case but my motherboard is really old and only has a 4 pin sys_fan header when the plugs for the fans are 3 pin RGB. Will I be able to use only 3 of the pins or are they incompatible?

Hey guys ! I want to ask a suggestion . I have 5 120mm fans . 4 fans are Cooler master masterfan 120 ML (blue Led) (0.37 amp of safety current from each) http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/case-fan/masterfan-mf120l-blue/ and one is corsair case stock casing fan of 120mm (0.38amp) white led. all these 5 fans come up with 3 pin connector and my psu TX650M got 4 female molex peripheral connectors . Now should i buy 3 molex 4 pin to 3 pin male connector or should i buy 2 Y splitter? I know by connecting to psu i cant control the speed but in mobo i can. My motherboard is ASUS Z370-H gaming having , 1 Cpu Fan header , 1 Cpu Opt fan header , 2 Chasis Fan headers , 1 AIO pump header. I am using CPU cooler air fan in CPU . Your help will be appreciated. -

I just purchased some new fans for my 1050 as the ones MSI shipped with the card are trash, (and I don't want to have to deal with their tech support again) anyhow I just finished strapping two fans to my 1050 LP (model of fans in tags) and when I went to plug them in I discovered that the plastic guard on CHFAN2 (image pending as soon as my phone charges to the point I can take photos with flash) was larger than the rails on the fan splitter that came with my fans. Is there a reason for this or is it just HP trying to force me to use proprietary fans in my computer? (P.S. for those who are curious I plant to use Speedfan to control the fans with the GPU's temperature.) -
hello. there is something strange going on with this motherboard where some of my noctua NF-A12x25 sometimes do not start spinning at start up, or look like they are having a seizure and trying to start. but other times they are fine. i used these same fans and fan hubs with my previous X299 build and everything was great for a year. what's crazier is that when i have 3 fans on the same hub or splitter, 1 or 2 fans will run while the rest will not. and yet other times, one fan will spin, one will click looking like it's trying to start, while a 3rd will just not do anything at all. and it's not always the same fans. i tried supplying power from the fan headers, which on this board can supply multi 2A+ per header (these are 0.18A fans), and tried taking power directly from my corsair AX1600i. same result. i used them with a silverstone 8 fan hub on my last build, but on this build i also tried substituting a deepcool hub as well as just a fanout cable (splitter) with no circuitry. i'm at a loss, i can't find any rhyme or reason to anything happening here. EDIT: after some more testing, it's apparent that Nidec Gentle Typhoons do NOT have problems with this board. the GTs work on every header without issue. when changing speed, either automatically by temperature triggers or manually, some of the Noctua fans will randomly stop spinning, with no way to restart until i completely shut off the computer and start again. restart does nothing. no such issues with the GTs all fans, GTs and Noctuas, work perfectly fine with an AsRock X299 Fatal1ty i9 XE. -
Hi! Recently I planned to buy this fan: https://www.scytheus.com/kazeflex-120. A 12V fan and PWM controlled. I have a ASUS H270F Strix, and I look at the manual looking for info about the fan headers, so i saw this: https://prnt.sc/uws3nr. It says the CHA_FAN headers are +5V and there is no PWM citation about it. So I google about 4 pin headers, and basically answears I got is: All 4 pins fan headers are PWM. So I found this: https://noctua.at/en/how-can-i-check-if-my-4-pin-fan-header-supports-pwm. It says +5v headers are not PWM. I haven't find any conclusive results, so I would like to know if I can use PWM fans with my MOBO fan headers. TL;DR: I don't know if my MOBO is compactible with PWM 12V fans. -
Hello, straight to the point: Is there any way to fix the fan header seen in the photo? I already contacted Gainward about it and they don't have any spare parts. Is it possible to buy the entire PCB seen in the photo somewhere like Aliexpress? If not, I guess my only chance is to solder the header back on. GPU: Gainward RTX 2080 Phoenix GS Thanks for your help!

hi, so my motherboard, (gigabyte b450m ds3h am4) has 2 4 pin headers called grb and brg (yup, not a typo). Are these the same as rgb, will an rgb fan work the same and can i use these for a fan hub? please tell me everything you know about these, thanks.

Hello to anyone that reads this I'm currently building my first PC and have ran into a small dilemma I am installing a cooler Master masterliquid ml240l rgb AIO CPU cooler to a ROG STRIX B450-F gaming Motherboard my issue is this motherboard has a designated AiO pump and cha_fan1 header but the build guide I was following suggested that I should connect to two cables that comes off from the pump to CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT headers at the top right hand corner of the motherboard and that is where have connected them however I'm not certain this is correct any advice on where I should connector to pump cables is more than welcome

I have 2 pwm fans but my sysfan header does not support pwm. Is it okay if I plug my fan hub to the cpu fan header then plug my cpu fan into hub along with the pwm fans? THANKS!!!
-
Hi everyone, I'm just wondering if the fan headers on the MSI H270 Gaming M3 support PWM fans, because I saw in the manual that the sysfan headers has NC on the 4th pin. I just want to make sure before buying because I have 2 pwm fans. Thanks!!
