Need help with AIO cooler.

[Guest MarcoTheNoob]

Hello, everyone!

 

Im just wondering how should I connect my AIO cooler to my motherboard?

 

I will use an ID-COOLING Frostflow+ 280 AIO, paired with an ASUS TUF B450M-PRO GAMING mobo.

 

Said mobo doesnt have many fan headers, and no AIO_pump header.

 

Should I connect the pump, and the fans to the CPU_Fan header with an Y Splitter?

Or should I connect the AIO fans to an Sys_Fan header?

 

Thanks in advance!

I'd connect at least the pump to the CPU fan header but a Y splitter would be a good idea.

Yea would be the best, but you have to be careful that the pump and the fans dont need too much power

Oh, then how can I set the fans to use an specific amount of power?

adapter the pump to molex or sata so it runs at full speed. use a Y splitter for the fans to a CPU header.

I have a kraken X52 and I just connected the pump to CPU_fan and for the fans themselves I daisy chained 2 of them and think I just used SYS_fan on my MoBo. 

 

It it works all perfectly fine - when under load fans start spinning faster etc. had 0 issues.

So, should I get an 3pin-Molex adapter, and connect it to the PSU?

yeah if you want to save a fan header on the board

Fans to the CPU header with a splitter, and the pump onto any other header. Or directly to the psu. The most beneficial thing to contol is a fan. The pump can go 70-100% all the time.
