bernas Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Hello I have an Asus Maximus VII Hero motherboard. I have every motherboard software and drivers installed. My Corsar WC H100i, is always on 2300 rpm. I try to put it on silent, on BIOS, but it is always working at too much speed. It does a lot of noise. I bought a Corsair Obsidian 550D, because it was supposed to be silent. But this WC H100i is making too much noise. I have set all my fans to 500 rpm, to be silent. But the H100i is always at 2300rpm. I tryed going manual, on BIOS, but everytime I try to choose a lower speed than 100%, it automatically corrects the value to 100%. I have Corsair Link installed, but it does not even detect my H100i, as you can see in the print screen: http://i57.tinypic.com/rbcw1l.jpg Could you help me please? It is making too much noise. I enjoy things silent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 sounds like you have your fans connected to the m/b,,they need to be connected to the hydro for controlling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernas Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Hmm, could you please explain to me, how can I do that? :x I have checked inside the box and saw that my H100i has just one open space, for connection, on the upper part. Is that the missing thing that I have to connect? Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bernas Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 This is how my H100i looks like: http://i59.tinypic.com/2hh3j7l.jpg The corsair link usb is connected http://i59.tinypic.com/xlwk15.jpg The other cable is connected to the 2 H100i fans, I think. http://i57.tinypic.com/2s80j80.jpg I have this cable left, don't know what to do with it. http://i60.tinypic.com/nb9kz7.jpg Could you help me please? I am not seeing what to connect and where now. I have read the guide, but still don't understand, sorry. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specter Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 The left over cable is for a second set of fans. Disconnect the Y splitter cable from the top of H100i block and connect it to the other slot next to it. It seems the cooler is not detecting your fans, make sure the Y splitter cable is firmly in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protocol48 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 If you are using Link and have trouble lowering the H100i Fans speed, you need to reboot and go into your Asus Bios and: Disable Q-Control of all your fans (set each fan to "Ignore" Q Control) as your MB over-rides the Corsair Link. (the Asus Bios Q Control has its own aggressive fan curves for all the fans and sees the H100i and its fans as just a CPU fan). If the enabled Bios Q Control wants to run the fans at 100%, the Link cannot lower the speed. That is why you want to use Link for your fans and H100i and not use AI Suite 3 Fan Expert or the Bios to control your fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
