I completely understand what you're saying @EsaT. I never said that 'water coolers' were superior. I only said I've never used one (in the first place) since labcoattech said try "going back to an air cooled heatsink." I can't 'go back' if I've never used one in the first place on my system...
I've never used an air cooled heatsink. This was my first PC and its had the AIO since the start. I did once enquire about a replacement cooler, they said they would send one, however I had to send mine back first and then once they received it, they would send a replacement. This would mean my...
HWMonitor is saying 32°C for CPU, and that’s fairly steady.
GPU is showing 47°C, but I’m fairly sure it said that temp was for CPU in BIOS.
I’m gonna put it under load and see what I get
Ok, I’ll have to boot into windows and monitor idle and load temps there.
I could hear the pump working (occasional scratchy sound), but I have no way of setting it to 100% because the pump doesn’t obey the BIOS.
Ambient temperature could be the reason. My room is upstairs where it is warmer...
So my splitter has arrived and the install is successful. However from boot, just in BIOS, my CPU is essentially idling at 47°C. I have no clue why it’s so hot. Even with CPU fans on 100%, it’s at 47°C
@Meddling-Monk ah ok. I was just about to say I don’t have sata power for mine.
@an0nym0us I think that’s how I’ll have to do it.
Right now I’m trying to purchase a fan splitter, however the one that I can get same day seems like it won’t work. Since a previous user said on this thread that a...
@an0nym0us Yes sure. The only problem I might run into is setting its voltage to ad high as possible so the pump spins as fast as possible, because I have no way to monitor the pumps RPM, seeing as that 3pin from it is useless.
@an0nym0us I think that’s what I’ll do. The lack of software control isn’t really a big deal.
@labcoattech I would think so too. But I’m pretty sure by now I’m out of warranty for a replacement cool, and it’s too much of a faff anyway just for some RPM monitoring.
Yeah that’s right. I would expect that cable to be a 4-pin, but it’s only 3-pin. I tried running the PC with one fan on cpufan1 and the other radiator fan on cpufan2 but then the cpu started to overheat (99°C) which made me realise you must still power the pump using that 3 pin. Therefore, I...
So through trial and testing, I have concluded that the issue does not lie with any of the fan header; both cpu fan headers and all three system fan headers are fully functional.
Also, every case fan, including those on the Corsair cooler, are fully functional. They receive power, have PWM...
So replacing the CPU fan header with a system fan and the system fan header with the CPU fan pin has had successful results. In BIOS the CPU one fan has a visible rpm, meaning that there is nothing wrong with that header. However the system fan one header also has an rpm which suggests that the...
@freddie64 i have tried disabling smart fan mode and then checking rpm and Corsair link but it makes no difference.
I’m about to try plugging the cpu fan pin into a system header and another fan into the cpu fan header.
@freddie64 Is the option to disable PWM control for CPU fans a common setting? Because I'm reading the relevant pages of my manual and I can't see anything about it. A link to my manual: http://download.msi.com/archive/mnu_exe/E7917v1.0.zip
