PWM controller for Pump

[HappyChubbs]

Hi Everyone,

 

I have a question that some can help me with.

 

I bought a EKWB Dual D5 PWM and a NZXT Sentry Mix 2 fan controller.  The original plan was to put the two pumps on the last channel of the controller but I ran into a small issue with the connectors.  The pump uses the PWM signal and RPM Signal pins while the controller uses the ground and 12v pins.  Basically if I put the two together they will not connect.

 

Used this is reference.

 

 

EKWB pins.

 

NZXT controller pins.

 

Images are a little blurry but hopefully they help.

 

Can anyone recommend a good controller for the pumps?  I am avoiding using any software based controllers (Not a fan of the ASUS one).

 

Thanks.

Connect the pwm hubs to sysfan1 and 2 and make fanprofile. Does the same.

Looks like I will do that, saves me money on my build.  Thanks.

I'd suggest using a header on the motherboard, disabling Asus Fan control in the EFI and use SpeedFan, you'll have much better control. be sure to use the CPU header on the board. Not all Asus 4pin fan connections are PWM.
