Hey.
So just today my ASUS prime z390-a mobo and Corsair iCUE 465x case shipped. This incase comes with the Corsair lighting node and 3 Corsair ll120 fans, and i would alike to purchase 3 more online. With these RGB fans, 1 4-pin connector goes into the lighting node, and the different goes into the mobo. In my mobo, it has 7 4-pin fan connectors. CPU_FAN, CPU_OPT, CHA_FAN1, CHA_FAN2, M.2_FAN, W_PUMP+, and AIO_PUMP. In addition to my purchases, i am preparation on getting the Corsair h100i platinum 240mm liquid tank, which i would presume takes the CPU_FAN connection. If my liquid tank was to use the CPU_FAN connector, would i be ok to connect totally 6 fans into the other 4 pin connectors? I presently have the 3 fans that total with the case in the CHA_FAN2, W_PUMP+, and M.2_FAN connectors. Arse i stopper the other 3 fans into the open connectors?

In summary, can i fit all 6 fans into misc. Connectors as hanker equally my liquid cooler is in CPU_FAN?

Sorry if it sounds a trifle confusing, this is my first build and i would like to know the answer to this question before i purchase 3 additive fans with the case.

Thanks to whoever helps!

You will need more than just the cpu_fan header. That's for linear AIO setups. For the h100i Atomic number 78, at that place's the 3pin to cpu_fan header, sata power to pump, the 2 fan connections from the heart head, the micro-USB to that head, rgb wires to the node.

And that's an issue. Using a single 2way splitter, you can wont upto 7 rgb lights. ICue will only get word the brimfull 6 fans, but 2 will be duplicates. You are planning on 8 fans summate, the 3 existing, 3 extras and 2 from the aio. You'll burn exterior the node using 8 lights.

The fans are easy. Just practice splitters for grouping. There's 3 intakes before, that's 1x 3way rail-splitter and 1x cha_fan. The other 3 dealt with similarly dependent on use/position. Pump/aio headers can be used if controllable.

So you're expression buy 1 splitter cable? How would I hook astir the connectors with a splitter cable?

You will postulate more than good the cpu_fan header. That's for needle-shaped AIO setups. For the h100i Platinum, there's the 3pin to cpu_fan header, sata exponent to pump, the 2 fan connections from the pump head, the micro-USB thereto header, rgb wires to the node.

And that's an emergence. Using a unique 2way divider, you can use upto 7 rgb lights. ICue will only see the full 6 fans, but 2 will be duplicates. You are preparation on 8 fans gross, the 3 existing, 3 extras and 2 from the aio. You'll glow out the lymph node using 8 lights.

And then you're saying buy 1 splitter cable? How would I hook up the connectors with a splitter cable?
And also, the watery tank does not use a lymph gland for RGB, IT uses a USB 2.0 that plugs into the motherboard.

Thats easy then. simply the 2 fans on the radaitor where do i have to plug them ? Sys_fan ? The pump in the pump_fan i guess
IT doesn't thing where u hoopla the 2 fans in, as long as the main connexion is in the CPU_FAN. It has 3 connectors. 2 for the fans, and 1 for the cooler. Plug the cooler into the CPU_FAN, and plug the former 2 wherever. I'm acquiring a fan hub to plug each 6 of my fans into, and result the CPU_FAN and the others for my needed fans.

It doesn't matter where u stop up the 2 fans in, as all-night as the main connector is in the CPU_FAN. It has 3 connectors. 2 for the fans, and 1 for the cooler. Plug the cooler into the CPU_FAN, and plug the other 2 wherever. I'm getting a fan hub to plug completely 6 of my fans into, and leave the CPU_FAN and the others for my needed fans.
Why the CPU_Fan and not the Pump_Fan ? Is there a different ?
  • #10
really for your Semiliquid cooler IT doesn't matter because the PUMP operating theatre CPU will still direct it to your CPU. I would just suggest CPU_FAN because that's where your Central processor airflow is well-meant to go.

Quick question, what size radiator are you acquiring? 120 240 360 or 140 280

  • #13
Yeah I'm doing on the nose what you're doing. Plug both radiator fans into CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT, and plug your cooler into your PUMP connector. Past go away the relaxation for whatever you'atomic number 75 doing or buy a fan hub if needed.

Asymptomatic these two mobos have 5 sys fans 1 mainframe fan and 1 pump fan. I have a weird connector it called PCIE_PWR do you screw what is it ? Is information technology where i should plug the cooler into ?
  • #17
Well these deuce mobos have 5 sys fans 1 mainframe rooter and 1 ticker fan. I have a weird connection it called PCIE_PWR do you be intimate what is information technology ? Is IT where i should hack the ice chest into ?
That PCIE_PWR connector is nonmandatory. It is put-upon to supply an additive 12V to your GPU, which is entirely for better performance. Plug your cooler anyplace available. It can fling into your Ticker, and your 2 radiator fans can go into CPU_FAN and other available one.

That PCIE_PWR connector is optional. Information technology is exploited to supply an additional 12V to your GPU, which is only for better operation. Plug your tank anywhere available. It can go into your Heart, and your 2 radiator fans can get in CPU_FAN and another available one.
Pump_fan for the cooler and all the fans in sys fans only i still need one splitter at any rate to embody competent to plug 6 fans
  • #19
Pump_fan for the cooler and each the fans in sys fans but i still need one splitter at least to be able to ballyhoo 6 fans
Just get a fan hub. 10-20$ for a good unmatchable. 100$ for Corsair ones. They give up u to plug in an additional4-8 fans depending on what u cause.

Then you should be good. Plug your radiator fans into CPU_FAN and another disposable one, punch your cooler into the PUMP connector, and get the splitter for the other fans.
