Where do I plug all my fans in?

Dolphins or whales?

Im getting the Thermaltake Water 3.0 Ultimate CPU cooler. On my H80i you plug the fans into the cpu block. Is it the same on the Thermaltake cooler, or do I need to plug all the fans into spots on the motherboard?

Im also getting an H110 for the GPU. With this one I know I will plug both fans into the block, then I will connect the block to a 3 or 4 pin on the motherboard. Normally I would plug it into the one labeled CPU. This one is going to be for the GPU though, do I just plug it into any 3 or 4 pin connector on the motherboard? Or is there a certain one it needs to go in?

I would put the GPU H110 onto a non-CPU slot, that way it doesn't try to very with the CPU temps.
As for the Thermaltake, I'm not sure. Sorry. :\

I wouldn't plug the fans in to the block for the H110, plug them in to a spare 4 pin PWM if available so the fans function correctly, otherwise they will be on full all the time. The pump must be connected to a three pin so it does go full speed.

Why should I not plug them into the block? The block controls the fan speed so they dont spin faster than they need to.

I have my Antech H2O 920 cooler entirely custom set. Pump is plugged to motherboard and runs at max RPM at all times, I've replaced original fans with a set of high quality Noiseblocker Multi-Frame fans and connected them to a case fan controller, bypassing the pump connections entirely. This way I have a real control over the fans and for large majority of cases I can run them at lowest RPM and CPU temperature won't go past 80°C (at 4,2GHz). I'd really have to run CPU at 100% on all cores for really long to actually need to increase the speed. And at lowest it's incredibly silent, because I need that (sleeping in the same room).

I don't trust pump unit and software fan control. Besides, bundled fans are usually crap.

agreed....
The pump must be connected to a three pin so it does go full speed.
disagreed, CPU fan header will allow speed going as fast as need, for example on full load, full speed, iddle less speed on pump....

i like my bundled fans, i dont care about noise.. i always use headset on my personal PC

nice setup with fan controler, in certain way , but i rather fans on 80% and 100 when gaming !

Aren't pumps supposed to go 100% all the time?

im with @Caring1 ... I just plug My Corsair H20 coolers into the Motherboard....I just trust it more i guess.
And I can speak from experience, it has worked just fine for near 4 years with the same types of AIO H20 coolers.... (crossed fingers)

the H110 throttles the fans so idk y u think it will make them go full speed all the time cuz it wont. i am thinking about letting all 7 of the fans go full speed all the time. i plugged one in the other day to see how it worked and you cant really hear it much with it right by ur face, once its all locked away in my case i dont think id hear it at all at full speed. i might get a fan controller and put them all on that and leave them 100% all the time. i think if i did that it would look cleaner instead of having fans plugged into a bunch of spots on the mobo

You are going to want a fan hub or a fan controller IMHO.
While you could use y-splitters and such to utilize the motherboard, I would dedicate their own controls, off the motherboard. If you do want PWM control of the fans, Phanteks makes a PWM controlled fan hub. If noise is not an issue, of course all of the fans can run 12V all the time. The pump is personal preference if it is full speed or PWM controlled.

As for the Thermaltake cooler, there is no way to power things from the head unit. You will need to source power for the fans and the head unit.

I actually didn't order that item that was on this post before. I was about to then I stopped at the last second because I saw this. http://www.newegg.com/global/uk/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811984004
I think this might be better. So from what I gathered from it, I plug my motherboards CPU 4 Pin straight into this hub, then I plug all my fans into this hub. Then all the fans speeds will be adjusted automatically according to the current CPU temp. Is that correct? What exactly tells the fans to spin faster when the cpu gets hot? Is it a feature in my motherboard?

plz i need help with this i need to know if that hub will work with my needs. id like to order something tonight. also if it will work plz show me any better hubs if you know of any. or if you have any other ideas of how i can go about setting my fans up

That hub uses the signal from the motherboards CPU PWM signal. so it plugs in the CPUFAN header on the motherboard. It then requires I believe a SATA connection to power the hub. Then any fan connected to that hub will run all on the same single PWM signal. SO as the motherboard senses socket heat increases, it will increase the hubs signal, increasing all of the fans speeds.

Your not goin to get everyone to agree. But if you have enough fan headers on your motherboard then do it that way. The pump does not need to run and 100% all the time. If you need more fan headers then get a controller. Almost any will do as long as it will fit in your case. This is not rocket science. Obviously a hub will give you more control

ok sweetness. that sounds good to me. i think id be fine with all the case fans running the same speed as the cpu fans, it makes sense to do so anyways. I cant have the 2 fans that will be on the H110 on the graphics card being controlled by the CPU PWM. is there a way I can have those 2 fans run at full speed while still being plugged into the hub?

ok guys the only reason i was trying to figure out a way to plug in the CPU fans to a hub was because I said that you can connect all 3 fans into the cpu block of the thermaltake 3.0 then someone else said you cant, and that i had to plug each individual fan somewhere into the mobo. I just watched a guide on installing the thermaltake 3.0 and I was correct you can in fact plug all the fans right into the cpu block, then a 4 pin cord goes from the block to the mobo. in this case I only need to figure out a way to control my H110 fans on the GPU.


Just like the cpu cooler, the H110 on my GPU will have the fans plugged into the water block, then a 4 pin connector comes off the block and goes into the motherboard. normally you would plug this into the 4 pin labeled CPU, but this is for my GPU. is there another 4 pin spot on the motherboard I can plug it into? its the MSI X99S Gaming 7. I would love for the H110 to be controlled by something and not run 100% all the time. how would I go about doing this?

Fans DO NOT connect to the head unit of the Tt Water3.0 kits. Please provide "this video" and a time stamp of when you can see fans plugging into the head unit of that kit.

There are not any fan clips on the head unit like what Corsair did. The fans are connected to the motherboard or other source, and the head unit has a 4-pin header for PWM power and control of the pump only!

i meant it goes into a splitter cord that then goes into the 4 pin on the mobo. so i only have 1 cord going into the mobo to control all the fans.

I looked at details of the motherboard and it seems there is multiple 4 pin fan connectors on the motherboard. If i was to plug the fans on the H110 on my graphics card into one of these 4 pin connectors, what temperature will it adjust the fan speed to? How do I make it adjust the fan speed according to the GPU temp? i think these are my last questions about fans then i will be all set after i figure this out! :)

Depends on the motherboard header. Some offer PWM, some run with various settings but not PWM.

I'm putting an H110 on my graphics card. Does anyone know how I can make the fan speed on the H110 adjust according to the GPU temp? Someone please help, this is the last thing I need to figure out, then I will know everything I need to know when my stuff gets here in a week.

That is a good controller. I could have sold you mine. :p
want a fan controler?
ther eyou have: http://www.newegg.com/global/uk/Pro...ommander_fan_controler-_-11-998-149-_-Product

Your not goin to get everyone to agree. But if you have enough fan headers on your motherboard then do it that way. The pump does not need to run and 100% all the time. If you need more fan headers then get a controller. Almost any will do as long as it will fit in your case. This is not rocket science. Obviously a hub will give you more control
best answer so far!

ok sweetness. that sounds good to me. i think id be fine with all the case fans running the same speed as the cpu fans, it makes sense to do so anyways. I cant have the 2 fans that will be on the H110 on the graphics card being controlled by the CPU PWM. is there a way I can have those 2 fans run at full speed while still being plugged into the hub?

ok guys the only reason i was trying to figure out a way to plug in the CPU fans to a hub was because I said that you can connect all 3 fans into the cpu block of the thermaltake 3.0 then someone else said you cant, and that i had to plug each individual fan somewhere into the mobo. I just watched a guide on installing the thermaltake 3.0 and I was correct you can in fact plug all the fans right into the cpu block, then a 4 pin cord goes from the block to the mobo. in this case I only need to figure out a way to control my H110 fans on the GPU.


Just like the cpu cooler, the H110 on my GPU will have the fans plugged into the water block, then a 4 pin connector comes off the block and goes into the motherboard. normally you would plug this into the 4 pin labeled CPU, but this is for my GPU. is there another 4 pin spot on the motherboard I can plug it into? its the MSI X99S Gaming 7. I would love for the H110 to be controlled by something and not run 100% all the time. how would I go about doing this?
ok, now see the epic fail,
for Tt water untis you have to do this:
Plug water block on "CPU fan" motherborad's header, for the fans, the kit shoul come with a 2 / 3 way spliter, plug all the fans into splitter then to motherboard "Sys Fan" header, also you can conect them to a molex, with the proper spliter,
thats the main advice i can give you so far, otherwise you can conect them where you want and screw everything

Fans DO NOT connect to the head unit of the Tt Water3.0 kits. Please provide "this video" and a time stamp of when you can see fans plugging into the head unit of that kit.

There are not any fan clips on the head unit like what Corsair did. The fans are connected to the motherboard or other source, and the head unit has a 4-pin header for PWM power and control of the pump only!
agreed,
i meant it goes into a splitter cord that then goes into the 4 pin on the mobo. so i only have 1 cord going into the mobo to control all the fans.
dont save a shit dude... follow advices.. i do have 1 Tt water unit, trust me ...
I looked at details of the motherboard and it seems there is multiple 4 pin fan connectors on the motherboard. If i was to plug the fans on the H110 on my graphics card into one of these 4 pin connectors, what temperature will it adjust the fan speed to? How do I make it adjust the fan speed according to the GPU temp? i think these are my last questions about fans then i will be all set after i figure this out! :)
they are no the same unit, follow instructions, they work pretty diferent,
I'm putting an H110 on my graphics card. Does anyone know how I can make the fan speed on the H110 adjust according to the GPU temp? Someone please help, this is the last thing I need to figure out, then I will know everything I need to know when my stuff gets here in a week.
the unique thing that comes to my mind maybe you can setup a specifi profile with afterburner / Precision X tuning sotfware ... or OC guru for ggiabayte's GPU cards,

True, you disagree with the consensus.
I say the pump is better running at 100% and the fans variable, as I prefer the chip not run unnecessarily hot, which leads to degradation.

The only way I can see that happening is if you plug the fan directly on to the original pins on the card. You will probably have to mod the connector.
