How do I run my Corsair h100 at 100%?

I assume you mean the fans? If so, you want to go into your motherboard's BIOS and look for fan settings in order to make them run at 100%. If your motherboard doesn't have this feature, try looking at a program called SpeedFan. It should let you manually set your fans to 100%

I already did but they still run at stock speed. I don't really like to use speedfan. I heard a lot of negative reviews about it. Is there any other way around this? Do you think buying a fan controller will FINALLY let me run this fans at 100%?

what speed are they running at? if you plugged them into the MB and the bios is set to 100% then they are already at full speed. a fan controller will do nothing different.

you can get a cheap molex adapter to run them from the PSU and they will never be faster than that as there is no speed control.

 

what temps are you seeing now at stock CPU speed?

Does everyone forget how h100 works. If you have it hooked up to pump unit and push the button until all 3 speeds are lit up the fan will ramp up to full speed as cpu heats up under load. If you want them to run 100% all the time you can hook them to the motherboard and disable all fan control settings in bios. Or buy a fan controller.

At stock speed my minimum temp is 38 and my maximum temp is 45

The fans are now running at full speed but I have a new problem, which I think is the main reason why I'm not getting a good temperature, when I'm trying to overclock my i7 920 to 4.2Ghz. I've already set my corsair h100 pump to the maximum speed but I still don't hear any boost or noise coming from it. Even under full loads (Prime95 or IBT) its not making any loud noises or boost. Do you guys think my corsair h100 is dead? If not please help me fix this because I really need to overclock my cpu to stop it from bottlenecking my gpu.

 

Thank You.

If you want your fans to run at full speed you should swap H100s with me. The fan controller on mine has crapped itself, so they can only run at full speed :D: I sent in an RMA request a while ago, but it doesn't really seem worth the shipping costs to send it to HK/Taiwan/wherever it was when I've got some spare fans lying around that run quiet on max speed and still push enough air for good temps. I'd also either need to drop my OC for a while or buy a replacement heatsink too, so...

 

Are those temps idle or under load? If it's idle that's pretty darn hot, and if it's under load then that'd be pretty darn cool. Make sure you disconnect all the fans in your PC so they don't mask any noise from the pump. I'm not sure how noisy they're supposed to be though, I've never heard mine, but I've never sought out its sound either.

I'm not running any program when I took that temp so I guess its idle. When I first installed my corsair h100 I've heard how noisy they are when I start my pc then they gradually lower as my computer fully boot to window. BTW... Do you live in U.S? Because if you do then you don't need to send it back to Asian countries for replacement.
