sym30l1c Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
