LennonNZ Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Hi People.. Just a short email regarding my experiences with Corsair Link. I have: Corsair 900D Case Corsair AX1200 Power Supply 4*8G RAM Modules (Corsair Link Enabled) Corsair AirPro + FAN Corsair Fan and Light Controller.. Gigabyte Sniper 5 Motherboard with 4770K Processor SP120/AF120/AF140 Fans. I have Them all hooked together and updated to latest non beta firmware. - Lights.. Yes they work but where can I get more lights or can I use third party LEDs with them? - Power Supply. Yes it finds it fine and can see all the bits on the Power Supply. - AirPro. Its plugged into all the Ram Modules and then back to Controller and I can see its reporting the RAM Usage and Temperate but only the average temperate. Should I be able to see anything more regarding the RAM modules? or are the links JUST for the lights on top of the Pro. If I plug the Controller Straight into the RAM modules will I see anything more? Also the Corsair Logo is upside down as the RAM->Airpro Cords are about 2 inches too short to fit to the other end of the modules so I can swap it over :-( Wish it had a reversible top) - Fans.. fail. It seems a lot of people have reported that the Corsair 3 wire fans won't work really properly with the Corsair Link system and they either click when put down to anything less than 100% and this is what I have found. You can get them to slow down a tiny bit but not that well at all. I have a front mount manual fan controller at the moment and that works 100% in manually slowing the fans down with clicking so it seems in a software/hardware issue with the Corsair Link Fan Controller. Even the Fans which came with the 900D Case don't work properly with the Corsair Link system. So.. I can replace the SP120 with 4 Wire PMW ones I've read works fine.. but what about the AF120/AF140's ??? In the Video Corsair have AF120/AF140's I presume plugged into the Corsair Link system. How do Corsair have that working??? I note in the build doc (http://www.overclock.net/t/1297712/mc-corsair-corsair-900d-godzilla-unveiled/2200#post_19117552) with all the parts listed they have a FAN distibution hubs so is that just running all the fans at 100% and corsair link not controlling the fans at all???? Please explain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 14, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 14, 2013 For the 140MM Fans they can only be controlled about 400RMP at most about 850-1100 RPM. So I would suggest using these on a MB Fan header. For the SP120MM Fan you can request an RMA and note that you would like to replace them for the PWM version.
