LoneWolf89 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I have a few question: I just built a new system. I have the 8700k with Corsair H100i v2 attached to it. I have the Z370-E LGA 1151 motherboard as well. I have the H100i v2 conntected to the cpu fan and the usb plugged into the mb to use the LINK software. I have Both Radiator fans plugged into the cables from the pump. The link software doesnt show the the H100i v2 but instead it shows use Corsair Icue. NoW Corsair Icue, only shows the pump but the pump hovers around 1500-1700 on turbo mode I believe. is that to low? Also I dont even see the fans if they are supposed to show up it. It just shows the rpm of pump and 0 rpm of fans. But it only shows 1 fan, is it supposed to show 2? Now when I click on full speed on Fan Xpert(ASUS software) It shows in ICUE that both the fans and pump are well above 2000. But When I use anything other mode the fans dont show speed and the pump hovers around 1600(turbo it might be a little higher but not higher then 2000). I need some help. Questions I would like help with are: 1. Why The link software doesnt show the the H100i v2 but instead it shows use Corsair Icue. 2. What speed is the pump supposed to be? 3. Why are the fans aren't showing rpm but are spinning, but on full speed it shows rpm of 2000 or more. 4. When it list in Corsair ICUE the pump and fans, it only shows 1 fan. is it supposed to show 2?. 5. What connector is the pump supposed to be connected to? I have it on the CPU FAN. 6. How to I get the pump to work properly since it is running low even at low speeds is the 12v not working? I go into bios and only see DC on the QFAN ASUS settings instead of voltage control? Thanks in Advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 1) iCUE is the replacement for Link. You are trying to use the successor and predecessor at the same time. Only one can control. One needs to go. **In the interim, iCUE will supersede Link control. 2) Approximately 2000 rpm on the Quiet pump speed setting. 2800-3000 on Performance/Extreme. BIOS will show 1/2 the actual pump speed displayed in Link/iCUE. 3) The fans are running through the cooler's fan controller. It is not a pass through to the BIOS fan controls and fan will not appear there. Do not use the BIOS fan speed setting to control the pump or fans. That is what the Link/iCUE software does. This is akin to turning down ceiling fan with a wall dimmer, then wondering why the pull chain does not seem to change the speed. Leave the BIOS fan header for the H100i v2 at Full Speed (EZ BIOS) or disabled. They are the same thing. 4) There is only one fan control channel and one control signal. If you look at the splitter, it is a standard 4+3 connector for that purpose. No good reason to run the two fans at different speeds on that cooler. 5) CPU fan is fine. It can work from any header, but the advantage of CPU fan is the BIOS will give you a warning error if you boot up and the pump fails. Also, CPU/OPT have really limited application as case fan headers. They can only do CPU temp as a control source and tend to be very jumpy and with shorter control delays. Perfect place to park your cooler that does nothing but draw a constant 100%/12v signal. 6) DC vs PWM will not matter when you set it "Full Speed" or Disabled. Both will prevent other Asus power saving and fan tuning features from changing the pump speed. Once you do this, make all other changes in Link or iCUE.

LoneWolf89 Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 Thanks for the response C-Attack! I will give it a try and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf89 Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 C-Attack I had my rpms showing in ICUE but when I restarted my computer it doesnt show it no more. I did what you say with full speed on cpu fan. how do I get it to show rpms in icue? Ihad to raise my fans to 80 percent in AI Suite just to get a rpm of 1900 for my fans on radiator and for it to even show on ICUE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DO NOT mess with it using AISuite. You will most likely damage your cooler. Please see the Liquid Cooler FAQ, Section B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 AI Suite in general may cause issues with Link or iCUE. It tends to do that to everything. However, if you set the CPU FAN header to Full Speed/Disabled, the controls in AI Suite for CPU fan should be grayed out and inaccessible. Then again, AI Suite doesn't always behave as expected and if it is allowing you access to the CPU fan header, those settings will override the BIOS settings. It needs to be at maximum for both, then use Link/iCUE for fan pump control. *Only the pump should be at 1900-ish RPM on Quiet. The fans can be as low as you like.

LoneWolf89 Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Thanks for the replies both of you. Should I uninstall AI suite?? Also if Q fan control I did full speed. Should disable q fan control totally and uninstall ai suite? I am kinda confused with this as I dont want to hurt the pump and also make sure it works properly. 1900 on quiet? What's a good program to control my other fans if I uninstall ai suite? Can corsair link do anything or can corsair ICUE it?? Also can corsair ICUE control rpms? If I disable q fan and it still doesn't show rpms in ICUE. What do I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Once installed, it's darn near impossible to fully uninstall AISuite. Whether your not you do is up to you; if you do, you'll have to use your BIOS to set your fan speeds. I've had AISuite and Link running at the time without too much difficulty (once Q-Fan control was disabled for the cooler's fan header) but YMMV. I reinstalled my OS to get rid of AISuite because, overall, it was more headache than it was worth, IMHO. For the fan header that the pump is connected to, Q-Fan control should be disabled. The pump requires a constant 12V of power. The easiest, most straightforward way to accomplish this on an Asus mobo is to disable Q-Fan control. This should also prevent AISuite from changing the settings. Link and iCue cannot control fans connected to the motherboard's fan headers. I'm not sure what you mean my "If I disable q fan and it still doesn't show RPMs in iCUE" ... if what doesn't show RPMs in iCue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 If you want to try a half measure, go to the task bar carrot > drop down menu and right click on the AI Suite icon. You should be able to uncheck the start-up feature. You also exit it from that menu. This is not the same as uninstalling it and it there are still AI Suite processes going on in the background. However, it there is a clear conflict preventing the fans from showing up in iCUE, this might reveal it. You would likely need to reboot or completely exit iCUE (app and Corsair.Service in task manager) after making the AI Suite change. Before you do, make the AI Suite CPU fan setting is set to 100%/disabled etc. On most Asus boards, "Full Speed" is the term used in the EZ BIOS Q-fan graph. In the Advanced BIOS it is shown as "disabled". They are identical and toggling one with make the same change in the other location. In order for iCUE or Link to control your case fans, you need a Corsair fan controller. this is the Corsair Commander Pro that is also the interface for RGB lighting systems. Asus software controls Asus fan headers (motherboard). Corsair software controls Corsair fan headers (coolers, Corsair PSU, Commander Pro, etc.). If your Z370 has fan delays and the Q-fan tuning program hidden in the Advanced BIOS-> Monitoring section, then you can do everything AI Suite can from the BIOS. The only difference is you need to go to BIOS to make changes, so not as ideal for set-ups where you need to make active fan control changes.

LoneWolf89 Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Well at the moment I can't see my fans RPMs in corsair ICUE. I can only see the pump, unless I manually change the fan speed it ai suite to a higher speed then I see it in ICUE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Well at the moment I can't see my fans RPMs in corsair ICUE. I can only see the pump, unless I manually change the fan speed it ai suite to a higher speed then I see it in ICUE That "manually changing the fan speed in AI Suite" is actually increasing the voltage supplied to the pump. So it's getting less than 12V ... you are increasing it to a point where it begins to kinda work ... then you see stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevBiker Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 So what do I do to correct this from making it work automatically?? I appreciate your help. As has been mentioned several times, disable Q-Fan Control for the fan header that the pump is connected to. Stop messing with the voltage that the cooler gets, which is what you are doing when you are messing about with AI Suite. Keep it powered at 100%. Disabling Q-Fan Control is the easiest way to do that. You can also look at the Cooler FAQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf89 Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Thank you to C-Attack and DevBiker! I have solved my issues. I uninstalled ai suite and disabled q fan and it works beautifully! My pump is at 1900 in quiet mode and extreme mode is around 8250/2900 and my fans are around 1980 RPM in extreme mode and in quiet mode 1200 RPM. Thanks again!
