Good morning everyone, I need your help to explain an issue I've been experiencing in recent days with the build I've just assembled. Mainboard: Gigabyte x670 gaming x ax CPU: Ryzen 5 7600 COOLER: Thermalright frozen prism 360 ARGB I've connected the cooler pump to the CPU_OPT connector and the fans to the CPU_FAN connector. However, I've noticed that when I access Gigabyte Smart Fan in the BIOS and set the maximum speed for CPU_OPT (the cooler pump), it is regulated to a maximum of 1500 RPM. The Thermalright pump, on the other hand, can reach a maximum speed of 3300 RPM, so the pump speed is limited to half of its actual capabilities. There don't seem to be any issues with the fan speed, which is around 1800 RPM. I've tried swapping the cables and connected the pump to the CPU_FAN connector and the fans to the CPU_OPT connector. In this case, at maximum speed, the pump runs at 3300 RPM, but the cooler fans only reach about 900 RPM.
From what I've understood, it seems like the CPU_OPT connector is only providing half of the power it should, preventing me from using my cooler pump properly.
Do you think this behavior is normal? Is there any solution?
