Hello,

Randomly my radiator fans have been stuck at 100%. This happened suddenly when turning on the computer and then never went away. The radiator (h100) is plugged into the CPU fan 1 header on my asus maximus V formula. However, after trying different headers, changing voltages in bios, speed fan, and CPUID, i cant get the fans to slow down.

I've reinstalled all drivers, the only thing i can think of is either the h100 is broken, my motherboard is failing, or a need a reinstall of windows, but im not sure if that would affect that. Any ideas?
 

Download free software from Corsair called "Corsair Link". Once installed you can control and create your own fan curve
 
The 3 pin connector that comes off the pump (and to your motherboard) does not control fan or pump speed. It is only used to report the current pump speed.
If you are using the integrated fan hub, then it determines the fan speed according to pre set plans.
If you are plugging the fans directly into the motherboard and can't control the fan speed, then something is wonky with your motherboard.

This happens to mine sometimes. I turn the power off using the psu rear switch, count to ten and turn it back on then restart my computer. Usually clears up whatever hiccup causes them to stick at 100%
