Fan speeds not working properly with Corsair Link

[DavidGuba]

So, I have a H115i liquid cooling for my 6600K. I’m having a slight issue. Basically what is going on is that my fans do not sync properly with the cpu temp. They used to before, I’m not sure why they don’t anymore. I tried running a cpu stress test and the fans didn’t even speed up. The cpu got to 54 degrees celcius in which I have 50 degrees set to run at 60% speed, yet I heard no speed difference in the fans.

 

I have the pump connected to usb and the fans connected how they should be om the H115i.

 

The cpu fan control and cpu pump control are both disabled in bios.

 

Note: I am still able to control the speeds and make the fans spin fast, but they wont slow down and speed up as they should.

The fan speed is tied to the fluid temperatures, not the CPU temperatures. If the liquid inside the cooler is not hot, there is no reason for the fans to speed up.

Can you plug the fans into the block instead of the motherboard and disable the cpu fan into the bios? I could do this with my old h110i gt.

But it was not like this before, I don’t know what changed, but a few months ago when doing the stress test, my fans instantly spun up from cpu heat. 

 

How can I monitor my fluid temp?

They are plugged into the block and the cpu fan is disabled as I said in my post.

 

I am able to control the fans just fine, they just don’t ramp up and down as they should.

Fluid temps can be seen in Corsair Link. Perhaps you had a different fan curve before.

This topic is basically closed. I didn’t know you can assign fan speed curves to different component tempts and now I do.
