Zach_n Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Hey guys, While installing my H100i I went to connect the fans when I noticed that the SP120's are 3 pins and the H100i is 4 pins. Which means that now I won't be able to control the fan RPM using a fan curve or Corsair Link Profiles. What should I do? I really want these fans because of how they look and I can't return to the store since I already opened the box... Help please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach_n Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 I'm not talking about the stock H100i fans, I bought a pair of SP120 Quiet fans and replaced them. And they are not PWM, is the only solution for me is getting a pair of PWM fans for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 yes your gonna need 4 pin pwm for the cooler in order to properly control the fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinnedone Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Anyone?? Is there a way to control these 3 pin fans through corsair link?? Thanks If you want to control these fans with the H100i you are going to need to install the speed reducer adaptors that came with the fans. This will let you control fan speeds, but will limit your max rpm. You might want to try controlling them through your motherboard or fan controller if you cant return the fans and really want to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Dustin Posted October 16, 2013 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 16, 2013 Corsair Link is tested with all of our fans. You should be able to control the two SP120 Quiets through it without major issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Corsair Link is tested with all of our fans. You should be able to control the two SP120 Quiets through it without major issues. As long as they are the PWM version. The non-PWM version usually run at 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to previous posts by Corsair employees (and what I have personally have observed) the H100i is only guaranteed to work with the included SP120L's. Aftermarket 3 pin will run at 100% and PWM aftermarket fans are not guaranteed to work, but should. (minus the whole not being able to hit max rpm thing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
