BF3 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Hello I have seen people who can monitor and control the fan rpm of their H100i and I couldn't figure out how it can be done. I have connected the standard fans to the CPU fan slot on my motherboard (Asus maximus v gene) but the corsair link software doesn't seem to detect them. Also the link software doesn't detect the correct temperature of my OCZ agility 3 SSD, apparently the SSD is at 128 degC. Any help and advice will be much appreciated. Firmware version CorsairLink 2.3.4816 Corsair Hydro USB version 2.0.0 Device version:1.0.5 Running on Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 connecting them to the m/b wont work,they need to be connected to the cooler or link commander some ssd's as well as platter drives wont be recognized due to the way their designed ect..

BF3 Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Does it mean at the minimum I will have to get a cooling node kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 connect them to your h100I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BF3 Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Done, thanks mate, I knew I should have read the instructions more carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Also the link software doesn't detect the correct temperature of my OCZ agility 3 SSD, apparently the SSD is at 128 degC. What does the readout say, exactly? Most SSDs state their temperature as "Difference from 100". Weird but that's the convention they all adopted, for whatever reason. Of course, 128 away from 100 would make it nice and chilly, so that doesn't look quite right, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BF3 Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 I have two SSD in my computer, the link software has no problems detecting the temperature of my Samsung 840 SSD, I am only having issues with my OCZ. I took a screen cap of what I am seeing right now. Btw is it not possible to adjust the pump speed? http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/3696/corsairlink.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Samsung 840 looks about right at 24C. Mine are at 72C Difference from 100. The OCZ is interesting, as is that it doesn't follow the SSD convention of Difference from 100. How hot does it feel in comparison to the Samsung? Perhaps someone with an OCZ can comment on what theirs reads. No, the pump operates at a steady RPM, give or take a few, around 2,235. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OCZ feels as warm as the Samsung so it is at about 24 deg as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Should be good, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BF3 Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 I am not worried but it does annoy me a little, knowing that it isn't displaying the correct temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted May 15, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 15, 2013 We have seen several different HDD's doing that, it is nothing to worry about. Just some HDD/SSD may not show or report correctly, but we are looking at different H/W Monitor engines that will report better across different manufacturers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had such issues yet, but I will increase the fan speed to above 600 to prevent them from stalling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
