Daddox Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 hello, i bought a new 2021 H60i AIO, that include one fan and one 120mm radiator. The fan is powered by a cable attached to the water block. That cable has two 4pin fan connectors, if i try to connect a second fan to the cable (i want to use the second 4pin connector to power the chassis fan) that fan spin only at maximun speed, and there is no way to control it by iCue software. Do you have a solution for this issue? many thanks alessandro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) What other fan is connected to the H60i XT controller? It is a PWM controller, so if you connect a DC 3 pin fan, it will run at 100% all the time from the 12v PWM signal. Unfortunately the quick start manual does not detail the physical nature of the second PWM fan wire and I was not aware there was one. I am not sure if it operates as two independent fan channels (both connectors are 4 pin) or if is a standard PWM splitter (4 + 3) where both fans will run the same speed. If it shows 2 fans in CUE, it likely is dual channel and both fans can be controlled independently. Edited February 5, 2021 by c-attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddox Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 ahh, the second fan is a Corsair SP140, and that is not PWM... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Yup. That's it. Can you tell me for my information if both connectors are 4 pin or 4+3? Looking for a review with better pictures but I can't find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddox Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 they are bot 4pin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Thank you. That also means you will have independent control over the 2 fans if you can get a PWM one on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
