Finneus Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I've got a new computer I've been trying to get set up but I've been having problems getting the fans running at a reasonable rpm. At first the Corsair link wouldn't detect the h100i, and I got that recognized after using the windows 8 registry tweak mentioned in another thread. Now I can see the 2 fans and the hydro pump, but changing the rpm's of the fans isn't working properly. On default they run over 2000 rpm, and if I change to quiet mode they drop to about 1832 rpm, but thats as low as I can get them to go. If I try using manual settings or making a custom curve all they do is speed back up, even if I set the rpm's or % as low as they can go. I'd really like to quiet these fans down since the system is running cool all the time. I barely see any change in the hydro temp even when running more demanding applications. Is there something I'm missing in the setup process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Make sure the fans are grouped to the H100i's coolant temp instead of the CPU. Have you tried plugging the fans into the other fan port on the H100i block? What FW is the H100i on? What software version are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finneus Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 I've got h100i fans 1 & 2, the h100i pump and h100i LED in the group. I just switched to the other fan port. That caused fans 3 & 4 to blink red, and activated fans 1 & 2. Quiet mode now drops them to 1804, but that's still too fast. Not sure what you mean by FW? version 2.7.5339 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Firmware of the cooler. Are you using the stock fans that come with the unit? Are they also 4-pin PWM fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finneus Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 When I got Corsair link to recognize the h100i it prompted me to update the firmware, so I did. Version 1.0.7, stock fans on the radiator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
