H115i Problems here D=

[Mikealongo]

Hi everyone,

 

Yesterday i put the H115i into my system, y configure it in push pull by adding 2 sp 140 mm fans into it going from:

 

Spoiler

to:

Spoiler

 

But i have some problems to configure that:

 

1- The H115i only comes with 2 fan connectors to a one fan conector (CPU one) so the other 2 (the led ones) are connected to the case fan controller; Can i buy a splitter and conect them to the other cpu fan connector?, in that case, will it run at the same RPMs?

 

2- The H115i is way too loud even if i set the quiet mode... i set a custom fan curve but i dont know if its good enough for the 3770 non k:

 

      35ºC   -   25%

      45ºC   -   35%

      60ºC   - 100%    

Could be that my fan setup is conflicting with the H115i?

Would you suggest me antoher fan curve for the 3770 non k?

 

If you see some problem with my built just tell me, i want it to be in an optimal configuration.

 

Thank you all =)

Suggest you return it and swap it for a NZXT Kraken x61. Performs better, while also being able to run with less noise then Corsair + it's cheaper.

 

But for both you might have to tinker a bit with fancurve. But these AIO's are a expensive overkill for a noc OCable CPU in my opinion, so whats your reason for swapping from air to liquid? Looks, room around CPU?

Are you running AIDA64 or HWinfo? Read my signature for the fix.

 

If you just mean that the fans are loud at idle (700rpm i think) then that's because the stock fans suck and you'll want to replace them. If the problem is that the speed doesn't match the fan curve and fluctuates randomly then the fix is in my sig.

 

Also, you are setting the fan curve to the water temp, not the CPU temp right? It should not be based off the CPU temp.

Both, because the room around the CPU give me the option to change RAM and because i can watch the ROG logo

Im only using CAM and link now an i have them at 1020 rpm now.

Its set to the cpu pakkage i think, but the cpu temp fluctuates allot, and the fans rpm too, i dont know if thats because of a poor made fan curve or why

Don't set it to the CPU package, set it to the H115i temp. Also read my fix if you're having fluctuation issues.

But that temp is the water temp or what temp XDDDDDDD, it set by default to the package temp, what fan curve should i use with ir?

In Link there should be a temp under the H115i temp (example) (in mine it's the one under h110i GTX that is the temp of the water in the AIO. That is the temp you should base your fan curve off of since that is what is actually being cooled by the radiator/fans, not the CPU directly. I make a custom curve based off that temp.

[pyrojoe34]

Also push/pull is overkill. Just leave it at 2 fans. The difference is nearly unnoticeable and you're making your system way louder.

I have it like the image here: https://imgur.com/a/WTpzq , is that temp 33.1 the water temp?

And if it is, i dont know what fan curve to use (i guess that temp dont fluctuate ass the cpu temp, but what i want is to keep the cpu cool, dont i?)

I put push/pull because i saw some vids where the temp goes 2 or 3 degrees lower, i know that is overkill for my cpu  but as i said, it was like a nightmare to build it (just the aio, im fine with the oder partes when building it) so im not planning to change it in a near future

Yes 33 is the water temp, but if your water temp is not increased then running the fans faster will not do anything to cool your CPU, the fans only cool the water, not the CPU. That's how liquid cooling works. The water will warm slower than your CPU, that is normal. Fans on a liquid cooler don't work like fans on an air cooler. That's why you base your fan curve off the water temp and not the CPU temp.

 im starting to understand it, Thanks!!

In that case im really lost about tthe fan curve XD, should i use the performance, balance, quiet ones or create a custom one?

Create a custom one. I'm not near my PC so I can't show you mine but I have the curve start at 35C and max out at 50C (at 40C it's about 40%). Starting gradually and then increasing quicker with 50C being about 90%. That keeps my CPU below 62C and the water temps below 46-47C. It also keeps the fans slow most of the time when they're not needed.

Thank you, you make my life quiter , just one more question about wc: If water temps are under cpu temps the cpu will transferr heat to the water till the water reaches the same temp, so tue CPU cooling is just the heat transfer between water and CPU, then Why is some WC solution better than others?

A lot of reasons, more effective heat transfer from CPU to block, and block to water, and more effective heat transfer from water to rad and rad to air just to name a few. For example the water temp of a smaller cooler might have an idle water temp of 40C while a larger has an idle water temp of 30C (It can never be lower than room temp though) because the larger radiator can dissipate more heat to the air. Since the water temp is cooler it can more effectively draw heat away from the CPU. A larger cooler will also heat up much slower.

Ohhh okay i understand, thanks =)
