Insufficient connectors available on the motherboard for the Kraken x73 model.
They mentioned using PSU and still lacked control, so alternatives like PWM splitters or fan hubs were suggested. You seemed looking for a way to avoid purchasing anything. It seems you're questioning why certain header controls are restricted.
For the AIO_PUMP setup, it's advised to set the fan-fail warning off in the BIOS. The recommended connectors depend on your motherboard model—look for standard 4-pin or 8-pin CPU cooler connectors. Make sure they match your system's requirements.
Is this the intended PWM splitter? Just checking. Regarding the parts, the M.2_FAN and W_PUMP+ are designed to handle additional cooling or power needs, while fans can be connected if they fit the setup.
I just noticed I still need to connect my back case fan. It’s now linked to CHA_FAN1, giving me these connectors: M.2_FAN, CPU_FAN, CPU_OPT, W_PUMP+, AIO_PUMP, and a 5-pin EXT_FAN. Should I consider a splitter? The post above suggests checking if you have enough for the Kraken x73.
Hey there! No problem at all. Just trying to wrap up my project as quickly as possible.
You won’t notice any variation there—they’re simply regular fan ports. Just connect the aio to the W_PUMP as instructed.
This configuration would route three front case fans through a splitter, then three back case fans via another splitter. It should work if the splitters are compatible and properly wired.
