hitem Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hello! I have a Asus Strix Z270H with a i7 7700 and i have 2 chassifans connected to the motherboard on ChassiFan_1 and ChassiFan_2. Except of that i have the h115i and asus strix 1070. nothing else! After the update today i can finaly see cpu temps, but i also got 3 new fans identified. MB Fan#1, MB Fan#2 and MB Fan#3. They are all moving at different speeds (rpm) and they are active (rpm changes actively). Question I find this very weird as i ONLY have 2 chassi-fans connected, so my question to you guys is: What is MB Fan #2 ? (and ofc MB Fan#1 and MB Fan#3) From my setup and the speeds i see in the corsairlink comapired to the motherboards data the MB Fan#1 and MB Fan#3 should be = ChassiFan_1 and ChassiFan_2. But then i have MB Fan#2 being the oddball. I cant get this together. I have no other fans running at those RPMs according to my motherboard. The only thing i can think of is the PSU but that would be very weird as it aint connected like that to report rpm? According to SIV64 it might be the CPUFAN2 - but then what is h115i FAN indicator? ...... weird.... Thanks in advance! http://i.imgur.com/vogEq4r.jpg Edit: Yes H115I FAN = CPUFAN1 MB FAN #1 = CHASSI_FAN 1 MB FAN #2 = h115i Pumpspeed divided by 2 (see red-ray reply below) MB FAN #3 = CHASSI_FAN 2 This is when i check the SIV64 data. Where CPUFAN shows the exact same speeds and changes as Corsair links MB FAN#2 Same goes for the Chassi_1 and Chassi_2, they are MB Fan#1 and MB Fan#3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red-ray Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 CPU Fan is half the H115i pump speed. Change the pump speed to confirm this. It's also easier for me is you post the CL4 [Home] tab. Use http://forum.corsair.com/forums/profile.php?do=extra to add your PC specs to your profile, don't post them. Again I further feel CL4 should use meaningful names rather than the Temp #1 form it currently uses, same for the fan names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitem Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Thanks! I will update my profile (but as this was my first entry i havent got to it yeat, sorry!). Anyhow: You are correct, the MB FAN#2 is the PUMP_SPEED divided by 2: (which is reported why exactly? as there is exact pumpspeed allready with its own icon). http://i.imgur.com/zsh46vr.jpg And here is my homescreen: http://i.imgur.com/5ysL5Om.jpg Thanks for your imput. I was very confused for awhile but now when its clearer i can finally rename them correctly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red-ray Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 which is reported why exactly? as there is exact pumpspeed allready with its own icon Not from within the BIOS. OK you can tell the pump speed once you can run monitoring software, but when there is a pump issue when initially building the system knowing the pump speed helps is lot. It also means you don't get BIOS CPU_FAN failed errors. It being half the pump speed for Asetek coolers is silly, but liveable with. AFAIK Corsair fail to specify this, I deduced it. CoolIT coolers are sensible and report the full pump speed. I am wondering if I can improve the ASUS Strix Z270H temperature names SIV uses. If there a screen in the BIOS that reports temperatures and if so what does it report. Please post the BIOS screen shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again. here is a complete setup of screens from the BIOS: http://imgur.com/GVwBf15 (advance mode) http://imgur.com/NPz1tH8 (regular homescreen in bios) http://imgur.com/8yQ54kR (just detailed qfan) http://imgur.com/5yotjU7 (just detailed qfan) http://imgur.com/iSGcP8B (just detailed qfan) http://imgur.com/6kbOSQQ (just detailed qfan) Unfortunately its not much detailed and its Qfan details. So its just CPUFAN CHASSIFAN1 CHASSIFAN2 that is detected and AIOPUMP/CPU OPT FAN that is not detected. And ive notice that the corsairlink has another temperature indicator called "MB Temp #2" (like air temperature in chassi) that goes up along with CPU Package temperature but with 1-3 degrees offset - so im not sure if its a straight up "duplicate" of the CPU Package #1.

I have no idea what all the CL4 Temp #1, etc. are. Corsair should use sensible default names :(:. Thank you for the BIOS screen shots, but as you noted they don't really help. The Nuvoton NCT6793D sensor chip reports 8 possible temperatures and what these are used for varys from motherboard to motherboard. In SIV I try to use meaningful names, but this is not always possible. See http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?p=853900 for how to attach a file/screen image to a post.
