Doubt about PWM + AiO

[Luckrow]

Hey Guys, first post on the forum here.

I just upgraded my pc with a new case the NZXT Noctis 450 and a new AiO Cooler the Corsair H110i GT, i have a doubt about how to plug it in to this case though.

This case comes with a PWM hub, and it says to plug the PWM to the CPU_fan or CPU_opt header.

My question its the following: Should i plug the 3-pin pump connector to the CPU_fan header on the motherboard or plug into the PWM hub?

Thanks in advance!

There should be a 4 pin fan header on your mobo labeled as CPU_pump , or CPU_Water something similar to that as it provides a fixed amount of volts/amps. Read your motherboard manual for more information.

You should either have the pump or hub connected the fan CPU_fan header. Either way works as long as one them are plugged into that primary header.

welcome the the Linus Tech Tips forums!

 

you'll plug the 3-pin pump into the motherboard CPU_FAN header.

this will allow the motherboard to monitor the pump rpm to guard against failure and shutdown in case of failure.

Ok Thanks!

I'll plug the pump to the CPU_Fan header and the PWM to the CPU_Opt header!
