AIO liquid cooler plug into central processor header or water pump header

Hi,

I recently bought a Barbary pirate h100i v2 cooler, and I'm wondering which header to plug the pump into. I know that in the manual it says to plug information technology into the CPU_FAN head, but my motherboard has a votive water pump connecter (the ASUS Z170-A).

I'm wondering if I should cud the pump into that water pump header and leave the CPU Fan header space. Will information technology cause any problems to plug the pump into this water pump header, pull up stakes the central processing unit fan head blank, and still plug the radiator fans into the plugs coming from the water block?

Thanks in advance!

Here's the skinny. Corsair AIOs let in rudimentary instructions that are so generic they'll utilize to some mobo made. Corsair recommends installing the pump to the cpu_fan header for 1 simple reason, the pump will usually fail before the fan and mobo's have a failsafe to protect the cpu. Mainly, if there's no rpm registered happening the cpu_fan header, the pc won't boot or shuts down immediately. So if the pump fails, the pc is supposed to blinking down. Nevertheless, on basic AIOs this leaves temp control at the mercy of a sys_fan header, which has different temp setups from a cpu. Most cases get into't ever reach past 40°C whereas cpus can easily hit 70°C.

The h100i doesn't use the cpu_fan header for temporary control, it uses the USB cable and Corsair Link software package, so therewith method, every bit long equally 'something' is plugged into the cpu_fan cope, all good.

Personally, my system is contra recommended, the rad fan is on cpu_fan and the pump is on cpu_aux which is a non-controlled straight 12v so I have temporary worker regulation, volume and speed control of the fan and still have scoop pump performance, which is what most AIOs need, not a variable speed pump.

You will absolutely need something plugged into cpu_fan or the pc will not bring up. Having a dedicated header for cpu_pump upright sets basic AIOs up same A mine, but being an advanced AIO, your actual force is supplied differently, but even needs to read the tach wire as having actual rpm, thereby the mobo assumes there is a working cooler related to the cpu.

Not really a solvent, but I am having the same question. I have a Silent Grommet, which has two 280mm fans that connect to my ASUS X99A-II MoBo via a y-cable. I possess them siamese to the CPU_FAN connection. I have the heart connected to CPU_OPT and appears to be working and the PUMP runs at a constant 2200 PRMs. However, I am wondering too, if I should use the W_PUMP connection.

You mean deuce 140mm fans ? Yes, ticker should go to a put across where it should get unremitting potential dro. Pump should turn constant speed and fans on radiators could Be regulated by CPU_Fan then they change speed according to CPU temperature. More or less WC cooling system systems have also USB connector terminated which SW can regulate every speeds. It's too good to have pump on a connection that can detect it's speed and raise alarm if pump would quit. Just a safety feature.

Here's poop. Barbary pirate AIOs include basic instructions that are so generic they'll apply to whatever mobo made. Corsair recommends installing the pump to the cpu_fan header for 1 simple understanding, the ticker will usually fail before the buff and mobo's have a failsafe to protect the cpu. Mainly, if in that location's No rpm registered on the cpu_fan header, the pc won't boot or shuts descending like a sho. Sol if the pump fails, the personal computer is supposed to shut up down. However, connected basic AIOs this leaves temp control at the mercy of a sys_fan header, which has different temp setups from a cpu. Most cases don't e'er reach past 40°C whereas cpus can easily hit 70°C.

The h100i doesn't use the cpu_fan header for temporary worker control, it uses the USB cablegram and Corsair Link software, so with that method, as long as 'something' is plugged into the cpu_fan header, all commodity.

Personally, my system is contra recommended, the rad fan is on cpu_fan and the pump is on cpu_aux which is a non-limited vertical 12v and so I have temp regulation, mass and speed control of the fan and withal undergo max pump performance, which is what most AIOs need, non a variable speed pump.

You will absolutely need something obstructed into cpu_fan or the pc volition non reboot. Having a dedicated header for cpu_pump just sets basic AIOs up same as mine, simply being an civilized AIO, your current power is supplied differently, but still of necessity to read the tach wire as having actual rpm, thereby the mobo assumes there is a working ice chest attached to the cpu.

Present's the skinny. Corsair AIOs admit alkalic instructions that are so generic they'll apply to any mobo made. Barbary pirate recommends installing the pump to the cpu_fan header for 1 acicular reason, the pump bequeath usually fail before the fan and mobo's have a failsafe to protect the cpu. Mainly, if there's no more rev registered on the cpu_fan header, the pc won't boot or shuts down immediately. And then if the pump fails, the pc is supposed to exclude down. Nonetheless, on basic AIOs this leaves temp control at the mercy of a sys_fan header, which has disparate temp setups from a cpu. Most cases don't ever reach past 40°C whereas cpus can easily hit 70°C.

The h100i doesn't use the cpu_fan header for temp control, IT uses the USB cable and Corsair Link software, so with that method, as long-lasting atomic number 3 'something' is plugged into the cpu_fan header, all good.

Personally, my arrangement is contra recommended, the rad devotee is on cpu_fan and the pump is connected cpu_aux which is a non-controlled straight 12v so I undergo temporary regulating, volume and speed control of the fan and still have max pump performance, which is what most AIOs need, non a variable bucket along pump.

You will dead need something plugged into cpu_fan or the pc will non boot. Having a dedicated header for cpu_pump just sets alkalic AIOs up same as mine, but being an advanced AIO, your literal power is supplied differently, but still needs to study the tach wire Eastern Samoa having actual rpm, thereby the mobo assumes there is a working tank attached to the mainframe.

Thanks for the reply!

Thus supported what you're saying, It'd be small if I were to plug my radiator fans into my CPU_FAN headers (I have two cpu fan headers, then I could spark plug some radiator fans into those), so I could use the dedicated water pump coping for the pump, fifty-fifty though that isn't on the nose what the manual says? Do you know if there would beryllium whatever problems in this setup?

Ty. When I first lay out mine (wife's really) I did as corsair recommended. Being a 3pin, the pump ran at a constant rate, the cpu_fan header is dedicated pwm not analog, you need a 4pin for any control. This arrange my fan at always at 100% since the cpu was well over 40°C at anything beyond light (i5-3570k @4.3GHz). Asus fanXpert was nifty for getting that all sorted out, but I still didn't get honorable cpu temps. Thusly the headers got switched. FanXpert is great happening that it has alarms. Since flat at 100% load on p95 26.6 small fft the temp doesn't run along on the far side 70°C for any reason, I hard the alert for 72°C. Now if the cpu overheats it's one of cardinal things, ticker failure OR time to clean the radiator. Deltoid.

Ty. When I first ensnare mine (wife's actually) I did equally Barbary pirate recommended. Being a 3pin, the pump ran at a continual range, the cpu_fan header is dedicated pwm not parallel, you need a 4pin for any control. This put away my sports fan at forever at 100% since the cpu was well terminated 40°C at anything beyond unused (i5-3570k @4.3GHz). Asus fanXpert was pregnant for getting that wholly sorted out, but I still didn't flummox honest cpu temps. So the headers got switched. FanXpert is great on it it has alarms. Since even at 100% load on p95 26.6 small fft the temp doesn't go beyond 70°C for whatever reason, I set the alarm for 72°C. Now if the cpu overheats it's unmatched of two things, ticker failure or meter to clean the radiator. Simple.

[Great post, Karadjgne! Hope you don't mind if I follow up? I have an Asus Maximus Hero IX board and plan on exploitation the Barbary pirate H100i v2. I was going to just connect the fans on the radiator together, and plug the pump into the AIO header. I wasn't going to exercise the USB. What do you mean when you same "the headers got switched"? You indicated your solution was to hook up the Rad fans up to the Central processor winnow header, and the pump to the Mainframe Aux, which would embody the CPU_OPT connexion on my board I assume. Did you switch the head connections? Did you suffer the USB connected for the pump? I only have 1 USB connector on my board. If I use it I can't hook skyward the one on the front of my computer.

I think I power have bit off more than I can chew. I have a be quiet drab base in favor of 900 case, and am still trying to figure out how where I should come-on up the PWM cable from their case sports fan hub. :)

Thanks!

USB is just for keep in line and to conduct data to the system. It comes with a utility for that.

There's basically 2 different types of aios, software package pressurised, unremarkably past USB, and hardware controlled by motherboard and bios. The h55 I take is the second indefinite, there is no USB hookup. The h100i series you take over is the first kind. However, it's as wel rearwards compatible, thusly if you choose not to use the Barbary pirate link up, and deficiency a standard bios 'set and forget' and then you can. You can do it as standard Corsair's instructions, with heart connected cpu_fan and fans elsewhere, operating theater you can fans on cpu_fan and ticker elsewhere, only you'll still apply the supplied Sata for power, the tach on the 3pin giving you rpm. This'll necessitate that in bios you set that particular header to 100% duty hertz, which maxes out ticker speed, permanently.

There's in essence 2 diametric types of aios, software controlled, unremarkably by USB, and hardware disciplined away motherboard and bios. The h55 I have is the indorse unrivalled, on that point is no USB hookup. The h100i series you have is the first kind. Yet, it's also backward miscible, so if you choose not to use the Barbary pirate link, and want a standard bios 'set and forget' then you bottom. You can coiffe it as classic Barbary pirate's instructions, with heart along cpu_fan and fans elsewhere, or you butt fans on cpu_fan and pump elsewhere, simply you'll unmoving use the supplied Sata for top executive, the tachometer on the 3pin giving you rev. This'll necessitate that in bios you set that exceptional heading to 100% duty cycle, which maxes out pump speed, permanently.

Thank you for the resolution. It volition take Maine a bit to digest, but I mean I understand what you are saying. In any event, you suggest I don't use the AIO connector along the Asus Her IX motherboard? The documentation says that header is 12w and the default bucket along is Full Hasten, while the CPU_Fan & CPU_Opt headers, and the 3 Soma Fan headers are 12W and Q-Fan Controlled.

I do prefer the set it and blank out it.

Thanks!

If you want to, you tin can purpose the pump 3pin along the cpu_pump and the fans on cpu_fan header. That's fine. Just as unsound A the cpu_fan header is populated past something. You won't be using much of any of that 12w (1Amp, which is canonic) on the cpu_pump head As the actual pump itself is powered away the Sata magnate from the psu. That header will basically just be used for the tach wire, soh in fanXpert you'll take care the pumps rev. I like fanXpert, much, it has this adroit setting for alarms which many assume't, so proceeds a peak at what rpm the pump unremarkably runs at, and put away the alarm to go off off if it drops 400rpm or so. The fans don't need an alarm, they are versatile speed, and if the fan with the tach cancelled the splitter reaches 0rpm,tbe pc will closure anyway because of the cpu_fan security.
On my Asus board, altogether headers are under Qfan healthy control except cpu_aux which is grayed impossible, it's 12v dedicated. Since your fans are pwm, you won't own an issue on cpu_fan header as that's a sacred pwm header. You'll nerd a 4pin splitter for the fans, a 3pin won't do work.

If you want to, you fanny use the ticker 3pin along the cpu_pump and the fans on cpu_fan header. That's fine. Just as longstanding as the cpu_fan header is populated by something. You North Korean won't be using more than of any of that 12w (1Amp, which is standard) on the cpu_pump header as the actual pump itself is powered by the Sata power from the psu. That header will basically simply be used for the tachometer wire, so in fanXpert you'll see the pumps rev. I similar fanXpert, a mickle, it has this neat mise en scene for alarms which many get into't, so take a peak at what rpm the pump usually runs at, and nonmoving the warning device to travel off if it drops 400rpm operating theater thus. The fans don't need an alarm, they are inconstant speed, and if the fan with the tach away the divider reaches 0rpm,tbe pc will shutdown anyway because of the cpu_fan security.
On my Asus board, all headers are low-level Qfan able control take out cpu_aux which is grayed impermissible, it's 12v dedicated. Since your fans are pwm, you North Korean won't have an issue on cpu_fan coping as that's a votive pwm header. You'll nerd a 4pin splitter for the fans, a 3pin won't work.

Keep hearing this CPU_Fan must be populated rubbish from wholly over the place. If you try information technology you testament get an error when posting stating the CPU! is Bla Bla Bla!, press F1 to get into bios, attend monitor, go to CPU and select {Discount} from the set down-drink down,Your done! and you privy today start your system without the CPU_Fan or Opt_CPU_Fan header inhabited. I do this day in and day out when setting up my AIO although in your case you'll probably discovery something to connect there.

Maybe. There is a work round to that, but it necessitates the usage of SpeedFan. With SpeedFan, you can set each header to supply baron/pwm according to which ever treat you choose. Indeed you derriere set a sys_fan header to answer to cpu_fan temp address, or even set the cpu_fan header to respond to the gpu temporary address, however you choose to do it. You'll then just sartor the buff curves to what production expectations you have. SpeedFan is the sole software program that'll coif this, all others, including Asus fanXpert won't, they use default addresses. So if you use bios operating theatre fanXpert, then yes, you are curst no cpu temp control, if you use SpeedFan, you need to grasp into it to get that all setup.

CPU cooler fans are virtually probative to ascendency, world-class because they are largest and noisiest in whole system and with GPU fans, most grievous. I can't see no more valid reason not to economic consumption them at CPU header. Newer MBs have BIOS options to "train" CPU and other fans for most scheme automatic control. Each type of devotee header has control by own detector. This Asus of mine has 4. Evening CPU1_Fan and CPU2_Fan are separately controlled and then campaign-pull fans turn at different speeds for best carrying into action.

One of the advantages of having a newer gen mobo. Both of mine are z77's and the cpu_aux head is a 3pin constant 12v. Great for pumps, either low level aios or setup without victimization corsair link etc, where the fan is along cpu_fan coping. But does ungenerous that for super towers with double fans, either I pick 1 for a constant fastness, maybe use a LP or ULP adapter, or run a splitter to cpu_fan and precede usage if cpu_aux. Control would have been nice, but it has no addressable feature, so not even SpeedFan does anything.
