Keyan Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Just installed the Link&Light kit today, love it! Altho I am kinda unhappy on actually fan speed controlling. Why does it takes only 2 or 3 seconds for it to go from low noise / low rpm to max, but if i do it the other way around it takes a minute or two? Also, I have gentle typhoons, the AP-15 models that run at 1800rpm. On max they will run just about ~1800. But they will not go below ~1475. Even with it manually controlled to 500rpm, they will not go below ~1475. I have a few other fans (OEMs that came with my Dragon Rider) in my case and they go down to ~625. Why do I have no control over my Gentle Typhoons? I bought this kit to control them, specifically. And I get almost no control over them. 325rpm? Thats...nothing. I can't even tell the difference in sound. Is there something wrong or do I just not understand? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudsonCAD Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 It took a couple days for the software to get my 140mm Thermalright fan down to 600ish. It was previously at 950-1000. BIOS had no trouble getting it down to 600-666 out of the box. It seems as though it took a while to learn the stall speed. I was going to put that fan back on the motherboard, but before I got around to it, the Link got it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 14, 2012 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 14, 2012 Our Corsair Link is optimized for our fans you can use other fans with the cooler but it may display some anomalies. We will report this to the product manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyan Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 This just sucks because I can achieve much lower speeds on my Gentle Typhoons if I use an inline resistor without the Corsair Link. I'd love to be able to fully control these fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 15, 2012 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 15, 2012 I am sure we we will look at these fans as they are fairly popular, but it may take some time and an Update or two to be released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyan Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 I truly appreciate the feedback and hope this makes it to a firmware release :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starsoforion Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I actually have my 2 Gentle Typhoons plugged into the H80 instead of the fan controller, but have exactly the same symptoms when monitoring them via Corsair Link. They work fantastic with the H80's radiator, but they simply wont drop below ~1450. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
