I just got an NZXT Kraken 360mm White RGB AIO and I have it installed on a Ryzen 7 5700x. I am using HWiNFO for temps and also have "Fan Xpert 4" installed through Asus's AI Suite and NZXT CAM installed. My CPU Temps are between 40-60c when Idle while NZXT CAM is reporting that the liquid is 31c. I don't know if I need to take the Cooler back off and apply some of my own thermal paste (I used what was pre-installed on the cooler) I have the Header that comes off the AIO plugged into the CPU_FAN header on my Asus Prime B550-Plus Motherboard with the fan speed set to 100% (I can plug it into the AIO_PUMP header but it looks better and is easier to use the CPU_FAN header). Any Help or suggestions are Welcome, Thanks! IMG20231225225720.jpg

Can someone help me with this RGB madness. I have a H500 ARGB Cooler Master Case that has these 200mm ARGB cooler master fans and 3 Lian Li Unifans and a Corsair AIO which has RGB for the block as well. Motherboard is a B550F Asus Strix How do you connect all of these when theres only 2 addressable headers and 2 non addressable headers? Any help would be appreciated

Hey guys! My first post, hope I do this correctly. Building my first pc, everything going smoothly, everything turns on and posts, my Corsair AIO radiator fans work perfectly, yet I noticed the 3 chassis fans included with the case don’t spin/light up. They jitter once when I turn the system on then don’t move. At first I thought it was the fan curve, so I adjusted accordingly. Nothing. Then I changed the Fan headers they were plugged into. Nothing. I even plugged them into the Corsair Commander Pro. Nothing. So I decided to plug my fans into my other pc, so it had a completely different motherboard and psu. Still nothing. I troubleshooted for a bit longer between both the PCs, when I noticed that the actual center of every chassis fan was hot to the touch. This seems bad. I thought maybe not enough power to spin? The motherboard fan headers were rated at 1amp and the fans are only 0.2 so it’s not power. What am I doing wrong?

Hellloooo all you very helpful people! So doing a case swap w my rig, no biggie, just putting in larger radiators to accommodate the bigger case, and more of them lol. Excessive but there’s reason as I was disconnecting fans from my “old” lian li O11 dynamic “full size” (lol) XL case, I been running cinebench R23 (32? I get em mixed up). Anyway, As I’m taking fans off I’m reading/comparing the MOBO LED output and the physical monitors Cpu package temps - forget what tool…. anywho, noticed that even with ALL the fans removed (were set to 100% constantly, intentionally), I went from ~37c to 62-68c MAX without the fans. Well within tolerance. how did I manage to run with no fans connected? Easy, I have a fab hub powered via sata that goes into my cpu header, left that alone, just pulled out fans BACK TO MY QUESTION W_in, uhm, where does that temp probe go? The “warmest” radiator, or the “coldest”? you can understand my confusion as the d5 pump has in and out, out shoots water, elsewhere, in, receives it. Duh. I have a thermaltake TT 71 view, dont troll me, I personally like it, that’s all that matters to me. currently under construction, but here’s my rad/WC layout RAD1 = 420mmx60mm RAD2 = 360mmx60mm RAD3 = 360mmx30mm(?) about half as wide RAD4 = 140mmx45mm exhaust by the IO panel CPU = motherboard monoblock, yes, covers all the VRMs, CPU and whatever else - EKWB, look it up, you’ll see what I mean GPU = gpu monoblock PUMP = 400ml, 1135L/hr at max, 4800rpm (Thermaltake Pacific PR32-D5 Plus, not that model is relevant…) pump->rad1->rad2->CPU->rad3->rad4->GPU->back to pump ^well aware the order don’t matter, it’s only setup this way so I don’t have a bunch of spaghetti noodle water lines everywhere So… is my W_in probe for the “hottest” or “coolest” water? Same with W_out, just opposite? id have to double check the manual but I believe there is a T_header for something…. Again I’d have to double check, but if it exists, where would that temp sensor go? In the middle-ish of the loop? sorry for the long post that prob had lots of irrelevant information. Just trying to put all this crap back together. As u can imagine w these huge rads everything’s a tight fit. That being said, I can’t install my 3rd GPU nor my PSU until I install all the headers on the bottom of my MOBO. Rather just plug those in and set them aside for use later which is prob what I’ll do just the temp sensors are somewhat in the same area, so I’d like to shove them in and do wire management before anything else thanks everybody!!

Recabling my cooling as I got some new fans and suspected that 5 years ago I maybe plugged in my cables wrong, cause in BIOS I could never change pump speeds. Got an ASUS X470-I motherboard and an X62 Rev 2 AIO. Motherboad has a CPU, AIO and chassis pump. Motherboard manual seems to suggest if I have an AIO, I plug in the 3 pin header into 4 pin AIO header on motherboard, however the NZXT AIO says to plug in the 3 pin cable in CPU header. So which one should I listen to? In this situation, who has the last say? The motherboard, where stuff gets plugged into or the AIO itself, because it's the one getting plugged in. That being said, I had the 3 pin header plugged into CPU header as AIO manual asks me to, but I could never change pump speed in the BIOS. Should I go the other option and do as the motherboard manual asks me to and plug the 3 pins into AIO header? It also has an extention cable, with 4 4 pin extentions. How does either AIO or CPU fan header control those? Motherboard manual is here. Kraken manual. -
ok so i have a USB 3.2 Gen 2 headers on my motherboard but my case doesn't have a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port on the front i/o is there any pcie card i can get so i can take advantage of this header the case i have is the Fractal Design Meshify C i was thiking about getting the s2 but decided the build would look significantly better in the smaller case as I'm air cooling and have no intension to build a full custom water loop that would take advantage of the larger case also does Fractal sell updated front i/o boards or even sell a meshify c with an updated front i/o board, is there any pcie or something similar i can get so i can use the USB 3.2 Gen 2 headers Thanks in Advanced for any helpful comments/suggestions TCE1ite

Hi, I'm looking for a Z170 motherboard that has 2 USB 3.0 headers. Preferably from ASUS or MSI. Any recommendations would be great. I'd like it to stay under $160 if possible. Thanks. -
Hey guys, for my new PC I decided to pick a Gogabyte HD3P Z170 mobo. Yesterday I decided on CPU cooler and noticed I can add 2nd fan to it. I realized my mobo have only 1 header for CPU and 3 for case fans. Do you think I should take another mobo or just buy a fan controller in case I really need the extra fan on the CPU heatsink? Thanks! -
Hi there, I am planning to build my first PC next month or so, but im unsure where i have to connect fans and to which header. Components: Case: NZXT H440 MoBo: Asus z270-a Prime CPU Cooler: H115i The case has fan hub at the back which is not controllable (max. speed) , i will be using 4 case fans and the two on the radiator. Where should I connect the fans? (Fan-Hub or Mobo) and if mobo to what headers? Thank you in advance

What are the extra unpopulated header on Asus STRIX GTX 1060 6GB?They do not have any headers, but pads are there.What are they?Can I use for extending Asus AURA? -
Alright so I'm having problems with different connections I'm my build,now error messages..I just can't really find where some things go so let me start off... First problem is this... There is only one (CHA_FAN) input on my novo,does this mean my other fan (included with case) can't be read by the motherboard? Am I just missing the connector or is my mobo just unable to support 2 fans? Second... I already plugged in the usb 3 attachment and there was a usb 2.0 cable coming off of the 3.0 cable, which I plugged in...but there's one more usb header coming off of my case that has no where to plug into. The weird thing is my case only has 1 usb 3.0 and 1 usb 2.0. So I don't understand why there's another 2.0 header, and if so where do I put it? (if mobo can that is) Final problem... My last problem is the power led- Power led+ +reset SW H.D.D led +power SW There's a label on the mobo but it's not helping me much to where to put them and there's nothing in the Manuel on where to put them... Any help is greatly appreciated (for refrence,my mobo is the ASUS H110M-A)

I used to have 2 NF-A40 PWM's linked to the same header using a port, this port being the secondary CPU header (Which I didn't need). However, due to Christmas, I now have another 2 Noctuas, these Noctuas need a fan header, so I again linked them together using a splitter and plugged them into the port that the old, linked, corsair AF-140's were plugged into, however, I forgot that the Noctuas require more current. Subsequently, the two new Noctuas now no longer have enough current to run below 45% as they are using a case fan header. Is it normal for the CPU fan headers to deliver more current than case fan headers? If so, then is there anyway I can make the case fan headers deliver more current?

For example, why are USB 3.0 front panel connectors different from the actual ports? Why couldn't there be a normal USB 3.0 port on the motherboard and an extension cable to bring it to the front panel? This also applies to other USBs. Also, what other ports have a header vs port situation (except front panel audio, of course). I suspect it has something to do with convenience of connection vs reliability and interference, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. Also, I've put this in peripherals since USB applies to them, please tell me if motherboards would be a better topic for this. -
I am currently trying to see what the fan header situation will be on my MoBo. I'm rolling with a MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC with 4 standard fan headers, 1 cpu fan header, and 1 pump header. Three of the standard fan headers are taken up by case fan and I need to know what headers to use for my AIO cooler. The Cooler Master ml240l has two fans connected by a y-splitter ad then a separate 3-pin connector for the pump. With these two fan connectors i need to find a home for, which of the three fan headers do I put them in? -
I'm trying to figure out which type of rgb header the fans that come with the Phanteks p400a digital case connect into. I want to see if I can throw in some led strips into my upcoming build but I only have to headers left on the MoBo, one 4-pin and on 3-pin. I need to figure out which one won't get used. All I could find was that Phanteks called the fans digital-rgb which makes me believe the 3-pin header but I'm unsure, any ideas?

Does the Mobo above have support for asus Rog led strips? Also is the aura terminal required? -
Hi guys, I put this post in peripherals because I didn't know where questions about RGB lighting would go (sorry). This is a post that hopefully helps me understand some of the details and doubts regarding RGB and to help make an educated decision down the line. I currently have my personal PC with an ASUS B450-I that has two RGB strip locations on it; "1 x Aura Addressable Strip Header(s) , 1 x Aura RGB Strip Header(s)". I had previously purchased a basic RGB kit from amazon that I use on one of the ports (with a splitter) on my motherboard that work. Its great and I love it but its single color only and doesn't utilize the motherboards capabilities fully I feel. Questions I have: -Should I be buying a "5050" strip to connect to my "add header"? If not what am I looking for? -Should I save the slot for some kind of accessory that might use it (like an AIO or something)? (Please recommend one if so) -Why do some of these kits sold by Corsair, NZXT etc have strips who's headers look completely different than the basic ones I use? (Even this Silverstone kit I found. Also will these work on my header?) -Will I need to spend upwards of 50CAD to get something that works with this header? I hope you guys have the patience to answer these questions for me. I'm only trying to learn more about something I love doing. Thanks!

Yes, i know six fans might sound like a lot, but i wanted to have some good airflow in my case. In total, i will have 6 fans: 4 case fans (2 Noctua NF-P14s redux 1200, and 2 Fractal Design Dynamic x2 GP-12) [all of these 4 fans are 3-pin] 2CPU fans (Noctua NF a15 PWM) The total number of fan headers in my motherboard (X570 AORUS ELITE) is 4: 2 SYS_FAN headers, 1 CPU_FAN header and 1 PUMP header I've read online that generally the maximum amperage spread across all of the headers must be below 1 amp or it could damamge the board. The max. input current of every one of the 4 noctua fans is 0.08 amp, while the two FD fans have a 0,18 amp max input current each, so after doing the math, they should all add up to 0,68 amps, so it should be fine right?? I was planning on using Y-splitters to connect the 6 fans to 3 of the headers, leaving out the PUMP header; is this safe? Does having 2 fans connected to a single header make them go at half the speed? P.S. IF POSSIBLE, i would like NOT to purchase a fan controller -
How many fans can i put on a prime b450m-a mobo with an rgb header looking to put about 5 or 6

So just one quick question: I am planning to get the H100i v2 for my new 3900X build, but I'm not sure which headers to use on the motherboard with the cooler. There are 2 CPU fan headers and 1 AIO pump header on the board. Should I connect the AIO to these 3, or should I just use the fan headers on the pump? I want to use Asus's AI Suite for fan & pump control, which connections would be the best for this? -
I bought the Corsair spec Delta case and realised the motherboard I've purchased has no RGB header, is their any other way to use these RGB fans without needing to buy a different mobo, that's also not going to cost a fortune ?

Good evening. I'm building my first-ever PC and had four questions about various headers on the Asrock B450 Pro4 (https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/B450%20Pro4/index.asp#Manual). These are probably all kinda simple and obvious, but I want to be sure I'm connecting things right since this is my first time building a computer and I don't have a ton of extra money to replace anything if I break it. The Asrock manual was confusing me, but I doubt it would be as confusing to the members of this forum. Here's the link (http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/Manual/B450%20Pro4.pdf).. First, what header should I connect my CPU cooler to (its an AMD Wraith Stealth)? The diagrams in the manual were kinda confusing me. There are two headers in the manual labeled as "CPU Fan Connectors" plus an "AMD Fan LED Header". I'm assuming the orientation of this cable matters? Second, my case has three preinstalled fans, do I connect each to a "Chassis Fan/Waterpump Fan Connector (CHA_FAN#/WP)"? Does orientation of the cables matter here? Third, the mobo has a header called the "Power LED and Speaker Header" (SPK_PLED1). What would I be plugging into that? I was confused since there is already a header (PANEL1) to plug the Power LED+ and Power LED- wires into. Fourth and finally, what will I be plugging into the "Front Panel Audio Header" (HD_AUDIO1)? This is the case I'm using (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BV31QU8/?tag=pcpapi-20), which has a headphone port and a mic port. My apologies, I know this is kinda basic stuff but I just want to be safe rather than sorry. If anyone can help me answer any of these questions, I would be very grateful. Any info about the parts in my build can and will be provide if anybody needs it. Thanks in advance for any help and any other info you think it important to provide me.

I have bought a new pc case and it contains 2 fans, each one of them has 2 headers (x1 3pin + x1 Molex). So I don't know if I have to connect the two headers at the same time, or only one of them?!! can you help I'll attach an image of the headers
