Need assistance with the Aio cooler.
Need assistance with the Aio cooler.
Hey everyone, I'm facing a challenge here. I have three fan headers: one for the CPU cooler, two for the PC case, and another for six fans. The CPU fan is only 3 headers, but I need to decide which ones to use. The fans I got with the AIO are spinning at a high RPM—2150rpm—but my six fans only reach 1500rpm with a fan hub. I'm wondering which set of fans would work better, where to place the AIO cooler, and how to orient the fans for optimal airflow. Also, which direction should the AIO cooler face—into or out? I'm using a Phantom Eclipse 360 case.
I have six fans with airflow into the PC case and one at the back extracting air. The CPU temperature is around 37°C when idle. I want the fans to spin at RPM but can only connect them via a hub, then link to the fan header. I don’t think there’s another method. It would be great if the top-mounted AIO fans could run at different speeds.
I observed the pump connector has only three pins while my CPU fan header requires four. I connected the three-pin adapter to the last three pins of the CPU header to activate the pump. Would this affect any functionality? Additionally, my fans aren’t displaying correctly in the app—only an error message appears. I have a three-pin pump adapter installed on "CPU fan in, CPU fan power & ground" on the CPU fan module. The three fans I own are mounted on a hub and linked to header 2 above the CPU header, which shows only the back fan and pump status without fan speeds. It seems they operate through the hub even when the four-pin connector isn’t directly connected to the motherboard header.
It should work fine. The four pins are meant for an air cooler since they can handle varying RPMs, while the AIO pump must run at full speed continuously. You can connect the AIO to that setup.
The fans appear to function, but the fan speed plus pump isn't reaching full capacity. At idle, my CPU temperature stays around 26°C. I'm trying to check it during gaming at maximum settings. I've searched online for a 3pin male to 4pin female connector, but nothing matches.
I also checked eBay and found a similar setup. I can still manage the fans even when the RPM isn't displayed in the BIOS. It seems fine to keep it that way. The aio pump is running at full speed and the fans are functioning properly. No worries, thanks for the support!
