New setup, unusual noises when under stress
New setup, unusual noises when under stress
I don't support RGB controllers; my setup is sealed and I don't have RGB options. For fans, you can use a direct power connector via the PSU, looking for SATA to 4 Pin cables and splitters. Keep in mind they'll run at full speed—quiet fans work but some may be noisy at 12V. Noctua fans (non-RGB) connect with resistor cables, capping voltage at 7 or 5 volts to control speed. A Y splitter cable lets you link two fans to one header on that RGB controller.
I'm thinking about getting another Corsair Commander Pro controller to manage all the case fans instead of relying on the one that came with the case. However, using the Commander Pro for AIO fans isn't working well with the software—it's not responding properly. I think the problem might be related to the USB 2 header splitter. My setup has only two USB 2 ports, but I'm using one for the AIO and another for the Commander Pro and the original case controller. The other port is split between the Commander Pro and the case controller. I've read that Corsair controllers prefer a single power source from the USB 2 header on the motherboard. Since it's powered via SATA, I bought this USB hub to consolidate everything. I hope this fixes the issue. Just to be sure, what you demonstrated in the videos doesn't seem to be a major concern?
