TheLabCat Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hi, im a newbie and this is my first build. Wanted to give it a try to occupy my time during this covid19 time. I have zero knowledge to pc builds and gaming pcs. But wanted to learn more. For my problem, i cant figure out where to plug in the 4pin fan plug from the aio to motherboard. I mounted the radiator to the front of my case since that seemed to be the only option i had. I plugged the 2 fans attached to the radiator to the fan plugs coming off the h115i. I plugged the usb and sata from the h115i as well and was left only with the 3/4pin. Theres no part on my motherboard where i can plug it in. So at the moment I dont have it plugged in. my comp temp is reading 82*F (sorry i cant do celcius). Is that at a reasonable temperature or did i definitely install wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Sorry if i didnt word anything right, im a complete newbie to computer building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zotty Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) Hi buddy. it plugs into the CPU Fan header on your Motherboard Your temps are fine... Which Motherboard do you have? Edited April 19, 2020 by Zotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zotty Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Assuming you still have the b450 tomahawk These are your fan headers,, one of them is the CPU Header,, your Manual shhould tell you which one.. if you dont have the manual you should be able to download it from the manufacturers website http://i.imgur.com/L58vRtHl.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLabCat Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 i have MSI - B450 TOMAHAWK MAX (Socket AM4) USB-C Gen2 AMD Motherboard. Theres no place for me to plug it in. Its only 4 pins coming out of motherboard, no where to put the 4pin plug in. If that makes any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zotty Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Theres no place for me to plug it in. Its only 4 pins coming out of motherboard,. you have 6 fans headers on that mobo read the second post i did buddy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLabCat Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 i see all my fan headers. My issue is that, it doesnt plug in. The plug on the h115i has 4 pins which has me confused. Shouldnt it have plug end where the 4 pins from the motherboard headers plug into? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zotty Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) This is a H115i Platinum AIO right?. it should have 2 of of those.. and its for the RGB Fans Cables to plug into. one from each fan...... Edited April 19, 2020 by Zotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLabCat Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 yeah it is. i plugged the 2 fan rgb plugs to the rgb controller the case came with. and the 2 fan plugs onto the plug from aio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLabCat Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 thanks for your help!! i disconnected it off the rgb controller and just hooked it up to those wires from aio. I guess theyre both the same so either hookup or doesnt matter. Thanks for clarifying this, this had me confused for some time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
