Depends on what your requirements are.


What temperature are your at, how much noise you can take. etc.

ideally it will be best to find the sweet spot of performance = noise. meaning it performs efficiently while not producing as much noise

Put it at the highest before you start to hear it.(i.e. just below noticable.) And check if your temps are acceptable to you. If not, then slowly bring them up until you are satisfied.

I thought you wanted performance...

 

in corsair link, set the temp curve to H100i Temp, not CPU temp. CPU temp is irrelevant. You are cooling water, not the die.

you can click on the fan speed icon in the h100i box to bring up the fan curve, presets, and temp source. make sure h100i is selected for temp. if need be i can demonstrate later tonight.

Is pump USB connected to board and fans to pump? Otherwise you need to use mobo's software, or Speedfan.

 

As for curve, thats very personal thing. Usually you find the high point by testing at which rpm you get annoyed by fans and use that only when really needed. Rest of the time they should be running either as low as possible, or hanging somewhere in between. I use mainly straight line, stepped for GPU and 3pins. Some use more logarithmic to get faster speeds when CPU/GPU really heats up.

You mean pump is also connected to mobo and usb to mobo? Because otherwise your pump doesn't do anything. Link can only control pump and fans connected to pump.

pump is connected to the mobo via the usb slot on the mobo, and the fans are in the CPU1 and CPU2 fan  slots

why are you not using the fan headers from pump?

stock fans or aftermarket? and again, probably went bat shit because it wasn't configured to the water temp. had the same issue with my h115i. thought it was just the shitty controller software and dropped $50 worth of fans to at least quiet it down. then i found the settings.

Please tell me pump is getting power. I don't use AIOs, but quick look on manual tells that it should get main power from SATA and only use mobo for controlling pump.

For a second I thought that was the issue here. Anyway, since fans aren't connected to pump, you can't control them with Link. You need to use mobo software/BIOS for it. And if you have pretty much anything else than Gigabyte, that should be breeze.
