I just built my new computer with corsair Air 540

Here is the list of specs

intel i7-2600k

Asus p8z68 v pro

intel 730 ssd 480gb

seagate 2tb sshd

corsair H100i

gigabyte g1 gtx 970

corsair air 540

 

problem #1: My computer won't detect my Seagate 2tb sshd. I can see it under boot options but when im on windows, I cant see the hard drive under my computers. I also might have my ssd on raid 1 and my seagate 2tb on raid 0. How can i check for sure and how could I fix this?

 

problem #2: My case fans are whining like crazy(2 of them). I moved them to top for exhaust but whenever its on it makes a really loud spinning(whining) sound. 

 

problem #3: I cant seem to control my cpu fans properly. I currently have push/pull configuration with noctua nf-f12 industrial version as push and sp 120 as pull.

Sp 120 fans seem to be responding well when I put them on quiet mode through corsair link, but my noctua fans are always at full (2000rpm) mode and cant control them with corsair link. Any help? I tried speed fans software but getting no where with it either.

With problem one you need to format the drive. Type "create and" and then click the first thing that shows up. Then right click on the drive and hit format or new volume.

Since problem 1 was answered.

 

For Problem 2: Check to see if anything is touching the fan blades or possibly moving them out of place at all.

 

As for problem 3 I can only guess at something like one being set as a case fan and the other as a cpu fan or some other hunky dunk like that.

Knowledge is power, guard it well.

When you say format the drive, do you mean the SSD I just installed my OS on?

there wasnt anything touching the fans I took them out of place and I still hear the sound. Less than when it was on the case but still pretty loud. 

and for problem 3, I have all these fans hooked up directly to the h100i pump set up. Im not sure why noctua fans dont respond the same way.

No, just the SSHD.

Right click the one that says unallocated. And click something like new partition or something like that. Sorry I don't have nay drives to find the correct words.

if I click on the left side of disk 0 section it gives me the option of 'convert to dynamic disk' or 'convert to GPT disk'

if I click on the right side of disk 0 section it gives me the option of 'New simple volume'

those are it

New simple volume. That's it.
