Razzkil Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I have this cooler coming on Wednesday to replace the Noctua NH-D15 that is currently in there and I was wondering do I plug it in to the CPU Fan1 or the Pump header that is right next to it on the board? Main reason I want to do that is so I can use my Noctua fans for exhaust, but they have super short cords so they'll only reach the CPU Fan1 header and I would be connecting them with a Y splitter they included. My case is the NZXT h500 so I can use the 2 fans they included but I assume the Noctuas would be better for cooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 You can do either. The fan cable for the Platinum coolers is there to provide a tach signal so that you don't get a CPU Fan speed warning on boot. This has the secondary effect of giving you the error in the event of complete pump failure. But it's not required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
