I want to run my CPU at 4.8Ghz, but it gets up to around 86C when stressing, and I don't feel safe with that.

I have an H110i GTX, and don't have Corsair Link installed since it's bugged when 40C is reached, the fans go crazy.

 

Is there an alternative or something I can do to manage the pump?

The thing is, Corsair Link and its associated software is custom made by Corsair. You may be able to set up "fan" curves, but be aware that running the pump at anything but the nominal speed can cause heat problems.

1) you do not have a variable speed pump in that cooler

 

2) no you cannot control the fans plugged into the cooler with anything other than corsair link

 

3) you can plug your fans into your motherboard to control them, or use a fan controller

Enderman's right on. Run the pump at 100%. I ran mine off the PSU fan header on my motherboard as it was set for alerts if 0 speed was detected, and I ran the fans off the motherboard headers, and set up custom fan curves for them.

 

 

Did you use Corsair Link?

Nope. I refuse to install a software app that controls hardware. That just seems really backwards to me. What if the software crashes, then what controls the fan and pumps? Nah, I'll leave it to my motherboard. That's worked well for years, and has better control anyway.
