AlphaBravo Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I just replaced one of my NZXT 140mm case fans with a Corsair AF140. The five NZXT fans in my case are completely controllable with the Corsair Link software and Cooling Node, but the Corsair AF140 can't be controlled and only runs between 950 and 1100 RPM, with the RPM increasing and decreasing on its own. From Corsair's website: "Corsair Link kits include fan controllers that work with virtually any standard PC case fan..." It is odd that Corsair's own fan doesn't work with the Link kit. Shouldn't the AF140 be controllable with the Corsair Link software and the Cooling Node? Is my AF140 defective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 3, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 3, 2013 We are looking into this but I am afraid there is not a lot we can do at this time. except to suggest using a MB fan header and adjust the speed through the BIOS. I am assuming that you want to run them at about 500-600 RPM to Max? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming that you want to run them at about 500-600 RPM to Max? Yes. I would like to be able to run them from 600 RPM to Max. I really love the look of this fan, and if we can figure out how to make these work with the cooling node, then I'm going to order a couple more for my case. Thanks for your help on this RAM GUY.

I guess I can try to update the firmware to 1.2.5. I read here: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showpost.php?p=645644&postcount=2 that there were some issues with 1.2.5. Anyone care to weigh in on what those issues are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I update the cooling node firmware to 1.2.5, and it causes my other fans to start clicking or making noise, is there a way to revert back to the prior firmware?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 7, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 7, 2013 I have looked into this and with the AF140 on our Link cooling node you can only control the fan from about 850-1100 RPM, so this is normal. I would suggest using a MB fan header for that fan and control it in your BIOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
