help with h55

[etze]

hello

i have bought in the past a corsair h55

i have installed it yet i dont feel like its doing its work

i have an i5 4690k 

msi z87 g43 gaming mobo

i've installed the h55 yet im getting huge temps just by surfing the internet

 

i think i have to somehow change the pump speed but im not sure how to do it?

its a 3pin cable connected to the CPU_FAN and from what i've read i cant change it through bios

120mm coolers are about the same as Hyper 212 EVO

 

Thats why no one recommends them.

H55 was doing a great job on my old computer. I just dont know wtf is going on now

I have an H55 keeping an overclocked R9 290 cool, so obviously this is not just how the cooler is supposed to perform.

 

I would suggest running the pump at full speed. Eg. by connecting it to a molex connector from the power supply, via an adapter.

ok so i need a 3pin to molex adapter

then i get the 3pin i have on CPU_FAN right now and connect it straight to the psu using the adapter

this will automatically have the pump running at full speed?

Yep, it just gets full 12V all the time.

 

The pump will make more noise of course, but it's not loud. You may be able to hear it at idle, when all the fans are at low speed, but once the fans spin up they'll drown it out.
