H150i PRO RGB and Q-FAN

Hi folks,

 

I'm installing an H150i PRO RGB on an ASUS Crosshair VII Hero motherboard.

After browsing through the forum, it's clear that I should connect the 3-pin connector to CPU_FAN.

 

What is not 100% clear is whether I should disable Q-FAN control in the BIOS.

My understanding is that it is not necessary for the H150i (while it is for other models).

 

Should I disable it or not?

Correct, it doesn't really matter and there is only a speed sensor pin in that "3 pin" motherboard connector. That will report a pump speed to the BIOS on the H150i. The actual pump, fan, and LED power will come from the SATA power line. All that said, I generally still disable CPU fan on Asus boards when I connect a dummy header. I've experienced a bit of hang or delay when using the in BIOS (or AI Suite) fan tuning programs and it gets momentarily stuck on CPU fan. Hardly a crisis moment, but it is also a reminder you can't control the H150i with BIOS controls.

Thanks for the help!
