PilotGW Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Hi! I'm having a very minor problem with one of the fans on my H110i GT. I've replaced the stock fans with Akasa Apaches. Up until a couple of days ago, I've been able to turn them both down to about 650RPM at their absolute lowest. Now one of them will not go below 850RPM at all. I've tried both manually setting the RPM and using custom curves. The other one is fine and the top speed on both is exactly the same (1300RPM). I've tried using the latest version of CL and the version before. No difference. Before I go digging about for replacement fans, is their something obvious I'm missing within Corsair Link or does it sound like the fan (or AIO) is going bad? Again it's a very minor issue as I usually run my fans around the 750RPM mark at idle anyway, but I'd prefer not to have one running higher the other. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

DevBiker Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I'm inclined to think it's the fans. Question: are they connected to the cooler or to the motherboard? While I'm not familiar with the H100i GT, most of the coolers only show one fan's speed when they are connected to the cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'm not familiar with the H100i GT, most of the coolers only show one fan's speed when they are connected to the cooler. They're both connected to the cooler using the supplied splitter cable and in Corsair Link they both have individual speed read outs. I might try and find my stock fans at some point and give them a go. The fan in question does sound a bit rattly, so maybe it's on its way out.

PilotGW Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 I just put stock fans back in and everything is back to normal! Now I need to replace those because they buzz and rattle horribly. Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Check out getting the ML fans as replacements. If you aren't into LEDs or other fanciness, you can get a 2 pack for $33.00 (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181106&cm_re=ML-120-_-35-181-106-_-Product). They are very quiet and work really, really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
