deadnlovinit89 Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Hi there OCC I got a few questions regarding my H50 and the fans I'm using. For my push/pull setup im running 2 Antec Tricool fans on high but noticed on my Hardware monitor that the fan speeds are a little...out of whack, it will go as low as 900 RPM to 3500 RPM randomly, I was wondering if someone could help me make this stop? I heard you can just cut a wire to fix this but I dont quite know which wire to cut: The one connecting to a fan, or one of the fan wires themselves.

IVIYTH0S Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Are you controlling the fan speed with the motherboard or an external fan controller?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadnlovinit89 Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 (edited) I have the fans connected via an adapter to the CPU fan header on my motherboard, but each fan has their own speed settings; Low, Medium and High, of which I have both on High right now.

AIinc Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 It's either your bios controlling the fans, but I doubt that, it's most likely that you have both fans hooked up on one motherboard fan header. Having 2 fans hooked up to one header may be taking to much power, that the header is not designed for! I would recommend that you hook the fans directly to your power supply, that will take your motherboard out of the equation! Â BTW...that setup should cool your cpu very nicely!!!

The motherboard probably doesn't know what's going on since both are connected to one header Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadnlovinit89 Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Okay thank you both for the replys that was worrying me for a bit but I'll be rehooking that up soon then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadnlovinit89 Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 and yes Im going to enjoy this, even connected to the mobo header my two fans helped the H50 keep my overclocked Processor at around 20 C. got to love that and makes me wonder what temps ill get afterwards!

AIinc Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Probably about the same at idle, but you'll most likely see a better full load temp! Thats where water cooling really shines! I'm sure your gonna be pleased! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadnlovinit89 Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Actually yes I am, I've never had this happen before using air but at max load it only goes up 4 degrees, never seen it and didn't believe it but Hardware Monitor never lies, atleast it hasn't before, makes me wonder about ASUS's PC probe, no matter how many different ASUS Mobo's or processor's I use they ALWAYS say 36 degree's, even under Prime95...just....36 Degree's! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
