Hello dear community
Here I go again. I purchased the Silverstone Hub:
https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-System-Cables-Black-CPF04/dp/B00VNW556I
I have 3 Corsair af120 quiet as bottom intake. These are connected to the Hub and this one to the CHA_FAN1 header on the Mobo.
The bios won't recognize the hub, hence the 3 fans.
My rear exhaust fan is connected to the CHA_FAN2 header (A Corsair af120 quiet as well) and it is being recognized and controlled by software (I tried Al Suite by Asus). My Thermaltake Water 3.0 pump is connected to CPU_FAN and its radiator to CPU_OPT. Those work great and are being recognized and can be controlled with the same software.(Maybe because the radiator has 4 pin connector and the pump only 3, but afain it needs to be at full speed at all times). I don't understand why the exahust fan can be controlled by a software if it has only 3 pin anyway.
Why I ask this... The PC in normal use is a bit loud to my taste, I mean, under not demanding use, the bottom fans could spin slower.
All the Corsair Fans are 3 pin connector. But the Silverstone Hub has 4 pin so I wonder if i'll be able to control them automatically (when it gets too hot) or manually with a software. Setting them in the Bios is way pain in the... If I want to play something harsh, would I need to restart and set them back to full speed? :lol:
My specs:
Asus Rog Strix z370-g wifi-AC
i7 8700k
GTX 1080ti
16 GB Corsair Ram
i downloaded SpeedFan and as expected it didn't recognize the fans connected to the Hub.
Last question, can SpeedFan control fan speed even if the fans have only 3 pins connectors? I really don't want to leave the fans fixed everytime I start the PC at X speed in the Bios.
Thank you in advance
