Kraken G12 Water Cooler Bracket

[FineVisionz]

I plan on using the Kraken G12 to water cool my Titan X Pascal. 

 

My buddy did this but he attached his fan headers to his CPU headers on the motherboard so his GPU bracket and radiator fans increase RPM's when his CPU increases load.  

 

What specific adapters do I need in order to have the GPU bracket fan and AIO radiator fans to be controlled by the GPU.  So that those fans would increase RPM's when the GPU increased load?

Just get the corsair commander pro. It has a ton of fan headers that you can plug your CPU and GPU into and run it on a custom fan curve in iCUE. Otherwise if you have some blank fan headers on your mobo plug a splitter into that and use software like speedfan to setup a custom fan curve.

You'd need to solder the AIO pump and fan onto the GPU fan mount, which is a different size. Highly reccommend not doing that, as you may draw too much current. put the aio/aio fan/G12 fan onto a mobo fan, and slave it to your GPU speeds.

why would you even suggest that? using mobo headers or some sort of fan controller is going to be the best way to go.

I'm sorry if someone stabbed both of your eyes with a pencil when you were young, I'd recommend you go see a doctor.

but why bring it up when there are clearly better options like ones I stated?

Well in fairness he was answering how the OP could accomplish what he wanted as opposed to providing a solution that wasn't what the OP asked for.

I never said he(or she) should. I said he shouldn't but if he really wants to, I can't force him to. Let him see all the available options, and then pick one. Corsair Comm Pros are expensive, and I've heard issues with them burning out with a lot of high power fans/aio pumps.

so buy a cheaper fan controller... sounds to me like he wants a different piece of software or hardware to control his GPU temps... so honestly the best way to do that is to get a fan controller like the commander pro, I'm sure there are other cheaper ones out there, or free up a fan header by splitting case fans together on one header and then his GPU fans on a separate header using software to control his fan speeds.

I've had a commander mini before I got my pro and neither of them have ever had issues. It doesn't seem like the OP is going to be overloading the fan controller. I'm guessing that those that got overloaded and bricked the commander probably went totally overboard with fans. Probably exceeding what the commander was supposed to handle.

 

Anyways I digress.

What program would I use to slave it to my GPU speeds?

Yep, that works.

yes, but the pump may draw too much power and potentially burn out you card. Also not comparable with all cards, necessarily.

Speedfan, gigabyte smart fan for gigabyte boards, or your mobo manufacturer software

Ok.  I'll play it safe and not go that route and just go with the software route.

Ok, so I got the AIO installed on my GPU but still can't figure out how to set the AIO fans/pump to be controlled by the GPU temps.  Speedfan doesn't recognize any fans in my system.  At the moment I have a fan curve that I've set up in the BIOs for the fans hooked up to one header on the motherboard.  I'm not sure what/where that temperature on that fan curve is being determined by. (CPU, GPU, random motherboard temp, etc.)
