clerick Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Hey guys I just have a couple of questions: I know that the pump uses the 3 pin cpu. However what if you have a mobo with 3 pin cpu control? Right now I'm using my cpu fan at 5v vs max 12v. Is the pump speed controllable through voltage or should it be always set to 12v? Also I know that this is meant to be as a completely enclosed system but wouldn't it eventually decrease function due to evaporation? Is there no way of refilling it (say a pressure port that allows water injection)? Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 And where could the liquid evaporate TO? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerick Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 Despite being an enclosed system water could still evaporate out through the micro holes of the tubing :O? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerick Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 Also another question: since most mobos use 4 pin as cpu will there be any issue with pump speed control? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 12, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 12, 2009 Despite being an enclosed system water could still evaporate out through the micro holes of the tubing :O? A: Maybe in an extreme temp. that the system would not function at; so I don't think that will be an issue. Also another question: since most mobos use 4 pin as cpu will there be any issue with pump speed control? A: I am sorry I do not see the point to your questions? Please be more specific. And the connector the MB uses IE be it 4 pin or 8-Pin for extra 12 Volt power will have no effect on the unit what so ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerick Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 Sorry I meant not the 12v 4 pin as power but the cpu 4 pin auxiliary header for the primary fan. Isn't that what the pump is using for power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 12, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 12, 2009 No it will have its own power connection that plugs on a fan header off of the MB and the Fan will plug in to a standard 4 Pin Molex that you would connect to a HDD or CD-Rom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerick Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 I'm wondering: how is the pump going to draw 12v at all times out of the auxiliary header if in bios the fan speed is set to not go above 7.5v for example (it's what I use for my cpu fan, I like quiet). Also how thick is the fan? I'm planning on replacing it with 2x noctuas for push/pull config and ultimate quietness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 12, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 12, 2009 I am not sure you can do what you are planning the pump get its power from the Vaf header off of the MB they are +12 Volts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerick Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 Ah the thought of a controllable pump via fan header was a nice thought XD. Either way I'll be buying this if it outperforms the true even by a few degrees (I just want quiet). Any release date yet? I see it's up on frozencpu with price but no real date.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 13, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 13, 2009 I have not seen an official release date, but it should be soon. Check back on the website from time to time, there should be a press release once its available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
