Steel_Wind Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Hi all, So after installing a h80 on my wife's computer. (no problems) I go to the store and buy a H60 for my machine. H80 was a piece of cake, but the H60 presents Problems. I have a GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 mobo. The CPU fan is 4 pin, but the SYS fan header on the mobo has 4 pins, not 3. Where the hell do I plug in the pump on my H60!! Sorry - feeling really frustrated here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 the header has a plastic tab, on the cable there should be 2 raised guides, the 4th pin is ignored and the tab fits in between the guides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel_Wind Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 I tried it, but it didn't seem to work. If I reverse it -- the way I am NOT supposed to do it, and put the pump fan on the CPU (which I am not supposed to do), the CPU idles at about 32/33c in bios and the fan on the radiator does not spin. Bios reports the CPU fan speed at 4200 RPM or so. I have 4 other fans in my case including a monster 300mm fan in the top, so I think the rad is still probably being cooled, but not as efficiently as it is supposed to be. If I do as you suggest, the cpu temp climbs in the bios to 40 fast and I got spooked so I didn't leave it on any longer. Running a i5-2500k at stock speed btw -- not overclocked yet. I will try it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel_Wind Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Well, the pump is working in the 4 pin header - but the radiator fan will not spin up at all no matter where it is plugged in. I conclude that I have a dead radiator fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 3, 2012 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 3, 2012 If the fan is indeed dead, moving it from different headers on the MB and yet still wont work then please use the link on the left and submit an RMA and we will get the fan replaced.
