Hi guys,
I have just got my new water cooling kit and set it up yesterday, after quite a few hours of tweaking to reduce the noise now it is reasonable. (although still make noise you can hear)
but very interesting though, after I plugged in my kit, my cpu fans stopped working, system fans are all fine. I have got 7 fans in my build and 5 of them connected through the CPU FAN port on mobo.
here is my specs:
CPU: I7 4790K
Graphic Card: GTX 960
RAM: 20 gig Corsair Vengeance
mobo: Gigybyte G5 Z97 Gaming
PSU: CM 600W
Water Cooling kit: XSPC X20 420 single bay res/pump, Lian Li HydrOC water block, PrimoChill Advance LRT Tubing, mayhems X1 coolant with kill coil.
before this WC kit I had a raijintek AIO kit which worked brilliantly (pump was small and integrated in the water block therefore you can't hear a noise while the performance was very good) and all my fans worked fine. I think that might be the ceiling for a 600W PSU: 7 Fans + Small WC kit+ other stuff.
I suspect it is because now I've got a much bigger pump which eats in too much power and the mobo power management (I'm making this up actually I don't if mobo has this thing) seemed clever enough that it turned off the fans for water cooling kit to work?
I really have no clue, before I go on spending 150 pounds for 1000w PSU (or do I Just need 850W?? ) i really appreciate and need your advices.
Thanks a lot guys!
