jasperkemper Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I have the Corsair H100i I installed CorsairLINK2 to control it (newest version). My H100i drivers are all installed. The Corsair H100i is shown in the CorsairLINK2 program and everything works fine untill I want to adjust the fan speed. It seems that I can only control my Corsair H100i's fans speed between 1750 and 2000 or something. I've tried many things to set the fan speed to what I want, higher or lower. If I set it higher, it reaches up the maximum speed of 2000 RPM, but if I set it lower, it simply won't go below 1750... What can I do? http://i46.tinypic.com/2v1aeqd.png This is the curve I use.

wytnyt Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 the rpms you mentioned are like in your curve so its working correctly you can also use h100i temp instead of the cpu,it better and more accuate to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 the rpms you mentioned are like in your curve so its working correctly The CURVE might be "working correctly" but the crosshair isn't anywhere near it. you can also use h100i temp instead of the cpu,it better and more accuate to use. Agreed that the fans should be in Group 1, the water block, not grouped with the CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasperkemper Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 The H100i Temps don't really change much. When my CPU goes from 25C to 50C my H100i temps go from 22C to 24C.... That's why I set it to my CPU. How can I get the crosshair on the point I selected? The RPM just doesn't go below 1750....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 before your fan curve works properly you need to get your fan speed to lower some.what fans are you using? do they lower if on the % or fixed or quiet mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasperkemper Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 I'm using 2 Corsair SP120 fans. Not the ones that came in the box, but the ones with the colored rings. None of the settings can get it's RPM lower than 1750.. Not even the fixed RPM or fixed % Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 sorry,they arent able to be controlled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasperkemper Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 How are they not able to be controlled? The stock fans are? I mean, they are both 3 pins if I'm right.. And doesn't the H100i unit control by just lowering the power output towards the fans? But if I install the stock-fans, I should be able to control the fanspeed? Aren't those fans lower in performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 the firmware 1.05 helps with fan compatibility.corsair fans arent controlled by power lowering but by pulse modulation of the power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasperkemper Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 I already have firmware 1.05 on the H100i So what do you suggest? Install the stock fans instead of the SP120's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I already have firmware 1.05 on the H100i So what do you suggest? Install the stock fans instead of the SP120's? that will help isolate the issue,no need to mount them,just connect one to test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasperkemper Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 What are other good fans that support control at the Corsair H100i? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinnedone Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 none. Corsair only supports the included fans. You can use resistors on the sp120's if you want to control them using the software but will be limited as far as max rpm. Kinda sucks, you would think they would be on this and make the H100i work as originally advertised, but I don't think that's a priority at Corsair.

jasperkemper Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Hmmm, strange.. Do you know how much it will limit my max RPM? I don't have time to test it yet.. So I'll just throw out some more questions to try everything at once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinnedone Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I have SP120 Performance editions and with the included resistor they max out at 1600 rpm or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
