Urgent: why is my water pump displaying higher RPM on the hardware monitor?
Urgent: why is my water pump displaying higher RPM on the hardware monitor?
Hey, I see what's going on. The hardware monitor is displaying 4200 RPM even though your water pump's maximum speed is 3000 RPM at 12V. I'm having trouble figuring out where to connect the pump since I don't have a 3-pin-to-Molex connector and can't plug it directly into the PSU.

Try a different fan header. If same probably just a bad tach sensor on the pump. I wouldn't worry about it as long as it is working. also do the RPM's fluctuate slightly as it is running?
I tried CHA-FAN2 and CHA-FAN3 and they both get the same reading...
and yes, the RPM fluctuate from 4100-4300. Is it possible that pump is getting "too much current" from motherboard and maybe that's the cause to that high rpm reading?
No it isn't getting too much current as it will only take as many amps as it needs unless it is shorted and then it wouldn't work right anyway.
Since it isn't changing with different headers it is most likely a faulty tach sensor. Do you have any other fans on the system that report speed...
Consider using a different fan header. If the issue persists, it might be a faulty tach sensor on the pump. I wouldn't be too concerned as long as it functions properly. Also, check if the RPMs vary slightly while it runs?
I tested CHA-FAN2 and CHA-FAN3, but they both gave the same reading.
The RPM fluctuated between 4100 and 4300. Could the pump be drawing too much current from the motherboard, causing this high RPM reading?

I have 2 case fans in case, but these are connected directly to psu. So no, waterpump is the only thing that's connected to motherboard.

Try another fan header. If it’s the same, it might just be a faulty tach sensor on the pump. I wouldn’t be too concerned as long as it’s functioning properly. Also, check if the RPMs vary slightly while it runs?
I’ve used CHA-FAN2 and CHA-FAN3, but both gave the same reading. Yes, the RPM fluctuates between 4100 and 4300. Could it be that the pump is drawing too much current from the motherboard, causing this high RPM reading? Probably not—it won’t draw excessive current unless there’s a short circuit, which would then affect performance.
Since the readings stay consistent across different headers, it’s likely the tach sensor is faulty. Do you have any other fans on the system that show speed data?
I have two case fans, but they’re directly connected to the PSU, so no. The water pump is the only component linked to the motherboard.
Here are the product details: http://www.raijintek.com/en/products_det...oductID=18
Without a fan, it’s hard to verify if the motherboard is misreporting speed. There are only a few real options, and none seem too critical:
1. The motherboard is misreporting speed – minor inconvenience.
2. The AIO is misreporting speed – also minor.
3. The pump is actually operating at that speed – good news, you got a better model for the same reason. It’s hard to tell because most companies rebrand their AIOs.

Well without a fan you can't check if the mobo is just misreporting speed. There are only really 3 possibilities and none of them are much concern:
1:Mobo misreporting speed. annoying but not a huge problem
2:AIO misreporting speed. again annoying but not a big deal
3:The pump is actually running at that speed. Yay! they changed pumps for whatever reason for that run and you got a better one. This one is hard to tell because there are only like 3 or so companies that actually make the AIO's and everyone just rebrands them.
I really appreciate your effort to help me
will try to plug fans on CHA-FAN headers and see what they report. Anyway, again... there's no chance that it's getting too much current and it might "burn" over time because of that?
I may be overreacting, but I got the same cooler 2 months ago, which unfortunately leaked so they sent me new one, so I just have in mind that something might be wrong with this one as well

Not a problem. and no the only way the pump would be getting more amperage than designed would be a short in which case it would have already been toast. If it does burn out at that speed it will be due to the design not its power supply.
I completely understand why you're worried though. I would be too after a leak.
Hey. I’m using the Raijintek triton water cooler and my waterblock is connected to CHA_FAN3. My concern is... why does the hardware monitor display 4200 RPM even though my water pump’s maximum speed is 3000 RPM at 12V? I’m having trouble with the pump connection because I’m unsure if plugging it into CHA-FAN3 is safe—especially since I previously used it on PWR_FAN. There are no included 3-pin-to-Molex connectors, so I can’t just plug it straight into the PSU. Maybe it’s because of the Raijintek water cooler? Also, my Fractal Kelvin T12 is running extremely fast, not the fans; they’re controlled by the motherboard and adjust based on CPU temperatures. The pump is making such a loud noise that it feels refreshing compared to airplane jets and Intel stock coolers. Help?
