I have problem in installing the second CPU cooler FAN. As Z390 A PRO has just one CPU header on Motherboard.
Where should i connect second CPU cooler FAN?
MOBO: MSI Z390 A PRO
Thank you
Use a fan splitter and connect both to the cpu fan header.
A splitter for a cpu fan will have the speed sensor of the second fan disabled to avoid speed sensing conflicts.
You can do this cutting yourself if you need to.
As an alternative, connect the second fan anywhere you can but it will not be managed by the cpu fan profile.
Possibly power related running two fans off the one header affecting how they're monitored. May need a pwm powered hub.
Is the pump header being used? Can use this header for a fan as well if you can reach it.

I meant the voltage through the pwm y split might not be enough for two fans. Or two fans is confusing the monitoring mechanism.
Should be able to adjust fan rpm if use pump header.
Can i plug in a system fan into a pump header?
Hello. My question is pretty much what the title states. I don't want to run an extension or even try to run across the board to the next available system fan header, so I am wondering if I can plug my regular system fan into a pump header. Thank you in advance for your help!linustechtips.com

Cpu temp is standalone temp, the fans won't tell the system what temp the cpu is at, they only read rpm speed.
When the fan header is connected the motherboard knows the cpu is being cooled. The cpu temperature is read internally of the processor.
The temperature is read from the cpu's internal temp sensor. Can have the second fan connected to anywhere really. All you want is control over rpm speed.
No,Can connect system fan header but fan will run at full speed. The pump header regulates rpm. The CPU temp is read from inside the cpu, that is the source.
Sys fan has no temp sensor obviously, why would it? Sys fan is just to power fans.
If Sys fan has no temp sensor. How the case fans will get regulate the RPM SPEED. THEY WON'T RUN AT FULL SPEED AT ALL THE TIMES.Sys fan has no temp sensor obviously, why would it? Sys fan is just to power fans.
No, I am not mistaken. I am talking about case fans, which is 3 intake fans in front of the chassis, 2 top exhaust fans and 1 rear exhaust fan.Never heard of case fans doing that.
Not mistaking psu or gpu fan variations?
Actually my thread was about where to connect second cpu cooler fan in motherboard as my Mobo has only 1 CPU fan header.Thanks didn't know that. However you have your op answer to which header to use for your cpu fan not case fans which your thread was about.
