Hey everyone,

So I am having some issues with fan speeds on my new rig. I have an MSI x99a pro carbon motherboard and it came with all of these applications on it. I had never heard of command center and I am starting to wish I never did. In command center you can temporarily change the speeds of your fans to be whatever you would like and even control OC features (which I have no interest in using). The problem I am having is in my Bios my fan speeds are set to 100% and I wanted to leave them that way and change them in my command center if I decided to lower them. Also I have a water cooler and the pump and radiator fans have to stay at 100%. However whenever I boot up my computer and turn on command center, it changes them to smart mode and drops them to 50%. When I check my Bios they stay at 100% but again anytime I boot it drops the speeds. No bueno. Any ideas on what I can do? I would uninstall the command center altogether but I like the control it can offer as well as the temperature gauge for the cpu and the system. I don't have room in my system with the radiator to install a front panel fan controller, nor should I since all of the fans are attached to their own controllers. (Thermaltake Riing RGB edition).

Things to note:
I have tried to install the radiator fans to the systemfan1 instead of pumpfan1 and the cpu pump is installed to the cpufan which stays at 100%, or its supposed to...
 


The pump is the one at 100%, I think I confused everyone lol the pump is at 100% the others are in smart mode
 
ya , the pumps are . they should all ways run at the factory set RPM's I feel its best not to fool with that ... [opinion] some folks do try but I fell that's better left alone

like this cards pump this guy tinkered with ?

I think its all about a constant flow they knoiw what rpms are efficient and less strain on the pump and there factory set to maintain proper coolant flow 24/7

I got go for now i'll check back if needed in the AM
 



Yea he is saying that it is silent now but I don't feel like water pumps are loud to begin with, even at full RPM. I will leave it alone then, like I said even the manual said to let it be at 100% so don't fix whats not broken, right? Alright, later bud. Thanks again for all of your help!
 




That actually looks pretty awesome! Any idea on how it has been performing? Right now all of the case cables for the fans are just strapped together and tucked away, it could be nice to use them. So this is compatible with the corsair 760T, obviously but will I be able to use the case instead of a fan controller from corsair to control my fan speeds? From what I have seen and read today you need a corsair fan controller in order to use Corsair link to adjust fan speeds but do you think that these controllers from the tower itself will suffice? Also, each fan controller for my thermaltake fans has 3 attached to it, do you think it will be able to support that amount of voltage per cable? I Know fans don't use THAT much voltage but I do know that a lot of fan controllers have issues if they enervate with over 5V of fans.
