bikerchris Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Hi there, Really sorry about this, I know the gems/lifesavers of this forum have seen too many of these kind of messages - I did search the forum before hand but couldn't find anything. As you'll see from the attached, I have set custom curves for the H80 within the CorsairLink2 Software, and while the CPU temps are within an acceptable range, the fan speed doesn't seem to tie up with the custom curves. Any ideas for a solution appreciated, but only if you think it's necessary, I've done enough tinkering with this already! http://www.bikerchris.co.uk/images/IT/hardware/cooling/corsair_link/CorsairLink2-System-view.png http://www.bikerchris.co.uk/images/IT/hardware/cooling/corsair_link/CorsairLink2-version-info.png I've attached the images twice, in case the forum attached files aren't high enough resolution.

wytnyt Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 one problem is you cant have the load AND water temp trying to control the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerchris Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 Thanks wytnyt, so I'll plug the pump into the mobo then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aktivehate Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 No, you should move the percentage of CPU usage (or temperature if you want to control the fans by load) to another group, so the software knows on what signal to use for controlling the fans.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted July 16, 2013 Corsair Employee Share Posted July 16, 2013 And it is not detecting the H80, do you have it connected to the Commander? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerchris Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 OK, first of all, I really appreciate your contributions Aktivehate & Ram Guy. So I should move the CPU temp to another group? But I can't seem to do that and surely, each group is 'a' temperature. In this view, Fan 1 and 2 are CPU fans (for the H80) http://www.bikerchris.co.uk/images/IT/hardware/cooling/corsair_link/Corsair_Link_Group_view.png I did actually unplug the water pump temp into the CPU fan header on the mobo. Although it still acts weird, it's showing the correct temperature vs fan speed. The only thing that's an issue now, is the CPU Cooling fans are on max when I start up, and only alter to the custom curve when I switch to a different default setting ('quiet' for example) and then switch back.

bikerchris Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 It's not worth much, but I did a video to illustrate: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Drag the % usage box somewhere else or right click>remove from group. To remove it from the CPU temp group. AS RAM GUY mentioned, the H80 has an CorsairLINK Interface that mean you can use another cable and hook up the H80 to the Commander unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Toasted, I have done that - let's see how I get on when I restart.;): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerchris Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 OK I've done that, it's being stupid now. I deleted the CPU usage %, saved the profile and shut down the pc. Restarted and fans stayed on max, the only difference is the cooling fans (two either side of the cpu rad) are operating at different speeds, despite having identical custom curves. I've got to do some work now so I'm going to leave this, but I will create an illustration of my wiring. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted July 17, 2013 Corsair Employee Share Posted July 17, 2013 I think you may be setting the fans up from the Group page and that will not work it has to be done from the system page and they will not react real time there is a lag time of up to 5 Min for the fans to ramp up I would set the fans for the H80 to run off of the CPU or Fluid temp not the load. Not to mention iot will look at the fan and set the speed of the fan based on % of what it sees the fan capable of not a speed range that you manually set.

bikerchris Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Thanks again RAM GUY, I'm going to be upgrading my machine soon, I've got a feeling the S/W might be buggy so I'll re-install on new H/W and see how I get on. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
