Kraken x61 cable question

yannickverc · March 3, 2016

HeyGuys

I put 2 x61's in my case. (One for CPU and one for GPU) But the fans are running really f*cking loud. (I have BeQuiet! pro wings 2 on the CPU cooler but on the GPU one I kept the standard fans because I've been told they were somewhat OK.

Now for my question:

From the pump goes a sata cable that splits in fan headers along the way. Would connecting the fans to those specific fan headers be the best option?

Putting an x61 on my GPU was the best decision ever. Playing rocket league max settings (2580x1080) capped at 100 FPS (BEcause 60Hz monitor) and temps go to 37°C max lmfao.

i also have the X61, only for cpu tho. (h55 for gpu)

but i run my 2x Noctua NF-A14 PWM LTT from the mobo because the nzxt cam software is just a pain in the *ss and it does not let me controle the fans like i want to.

imo put the fans on your mobo and controle them through the bios and set them on a RPM you like.

Yea that was my plan for when this didn't work. But now that I connected the fans to the correct fan splitters they are silent as f*ck. Literally no sound.

42-43°C on a heaven benchmark. Score of 2040 avg fps of 81.

under 60°C on OCCT.
