kansasboy001 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Do the 3 pin AF and SP series fans work well with the original link cooling nodes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I don't think so, 4-Pin PWM worked the best with the original Cooling Node. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kansasboy001 Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 I know that pwm fans work best, but somewhere on here ram guy stated the some high quality 3 pins fans also work. And corsair makes some of the best fans, so I thought that they might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LicSqualo Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I have differents 3-pins fans attached to the CL and they work correctly. Some (today all) are also 60 mm fans with 4500 rpm or more and CL (v. 2.4.5065 for my PC-rig) control them correctly. Only one is hard to "domate" with a custom curve, but I can control with "%" and differents profiles. I have also attached 2x140 mm fans (3-pins with led!) at my H100 and they are controlled perfectly, now I've two Noctua and two original Corsair fan (@2700). In some cases the choice of the consumption (in A) for the fans is stricty necessary. Also for the Cooling Node. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kansasboy001 Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 So do I want high or low amp fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LicSqualo Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Low A fans! And the Corsair 4-pins fans are ideal. My example is only to your knowledge. If you have to choice a new fan go to Corsair. If you have (as me) old fans or other kind/type fans you can try if CL can manage them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kansasboy001 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 I have found a few fans that I am concidering buying. Could you please tell me what would be best for link? Lepa vortex, PMW 0.2A Artic f12 PMW 0.16A Corsair AF120 3 pin 0.13A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LicSqualo Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Really I don't know, for my personal experience some fans have to be "domated" by CLink... The 4 pin PWM fan with 0.2A seems to be a good choice, considering also the max static pressure (2.18 mmH20 at 1600 rpm). I remember, but i should be in error, the max amperage supported by CLink is 3A totally and for each channel the max is 0,6 A. But if you search in some threads you can found a correct info.
