Lizardwithhat Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I first had an H80i installed it started my system and my fans were very loud and I could not control them, installed firmware update and it got worse the fans went from 100% to 0 and back every 10 seconds, then the store sent it back to corsair, I got my money back and got an H100i instead and I installed it turn on my system and again fans to maximum and to 0 but now every 3 seconds, can anyone explain? Also it smells horrible since I put in my new H100i Motherboard Asus Sabertooth Z77 (in case you need that) Here a video demonstrating the issue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPpPb2Tjzp0&feature=youtu.be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robandcathy Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 at this time very few fans work with the link, are they pwm fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizardwithhat Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 at this time very few fans work with the link, are they pwm fans? Nope, cooler master sickleflow 120 but the exact same thing happens with the stock fans so I don't think that is the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 The H100i will run aftermarket fans on max speed. It can only control the stock fans and very few aftermarket ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toasted Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Increase the RPM to something lik 800-1000 and see if that helps. 500RPM is pretty low which can cause problems like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizardwithhat Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Dude I am very good with computers, I can even put them together apart, repair, build new ones. If I am posting it here that means I have tried everything possible, I have tried EVERYTHING in the link software even tried disabling other software if there is a compatibility issue. If someone knows and can help please but just don;t suggest the most random first thing you would tell a noob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not a set answer when dealing with buggy software and hardware from various manufacturers. Other people have no idea what you've tried so far. Next time just say "yes, I tried that. It didn't work." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one know your level of experience so we have to start somewhere, and people are trying to help. The issue you are having is not well known around these forums, We can rule out the H80 and H100 so it may be a bad link. This may sound dumb but the link has a max amp for per line and total, is it possible your fans are drawing to much power? Seemed the smaller 80 fans went 10 seconds and the larger 100 went every 3. I know your gonna say they are stock and should work but not if you have to many hooked up. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
