Need someone to guide me

[BrizZeR]

Hello Everyone !
I just got my new pc a few days ago .. and i noticed that the guy who assembled it from the store .. didnt used the fan sensors on my maximus viii hero .. so i can only monitor and change the cpu fans and the pump (I110 GTX) . non of the fans on my case can be changed (NZXT 820 ) .

So i need someone that will guide me where to connect and how . i never touched the pins that gets connected to the motherboard .. and i dont really know how and what to do .. if someone can guide me that whould be really helpful

i need to know how and what to connect to where


thank you and have a nice day !

Hi, How old are you, and is the case sealed (for warranty purposes)?
You can control the case fans from case buttons.

haha im 20 in 8 days
and what do you mean sealed ?
its not a pre built pc , i ordered the parts and the shop assembled it . i guess if i will do that on my own il manage it , but it will be alot safer if someone will guide me , thats the reason .
and yes i know i can control it from the case buttons . but its no as good as seeing it live on a program .. especially when i want to tune the fans

btw sorry for my english :/

Ok, Sorry for the question. You have to shut down the pc and switch off the power supply.
Remove the side panel and identify the cables from case fans.
The connectors look like http://i5.walmartimages.com/dfw/dce07b8c-a1b1/k2-_3b03d12c-fa54-465a-bf40-ea2c21554750.v1.jpg
Unplug and connect them to the motherboard's black headers labeled as CHA_FAN.

Okay .. and i understand why you asked , I just want to be sure what im doing . thats all
well i will try that tomorrow and update .
do you have any idea where all the cha_fans located just so it will be easier for me to find them .. i got water cooled cpu and gpu in there so i dont have alot of space to searce for those

They are 4 pin headers located - 1 on the left side, 2 - on the right side and 1 - bottom side.
You can notice CHA_Fan 3 in http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2015/09/asus-maximus-viii-hero-review/maximus_viii_hero-3-1280x1024.jpg

The board's diagram that you can find in the board's manual would also help.

Okay ! thank you so much !

 

[alexoiu]

You're welcome.

 

[BrizZeR]

You're welcome.

Well after openning the case , i found the fan pin connectors pretty easily , They had a sticker on them that indicate which pin is F,R,T or IS .. i disconnected one of them and connected it to the CHA_FAN .. only to find out that after i do that i cant control them from the case haha which makes sense but it worked .. so , theres any way to connect them to both ? maybe some kind of splitter or something i can use so both functions will work ?

 

[alexoiu]

No, they can be either controlled by the board's BIOS, or case (depending on their connectivity). Not both.

 

[BrizZeR]

Well so Case it is i guess .. thank you for the help !

btw is it normal for the moab temps to go up like my cpu temps when playing ? (in my old moab it always the same as ideal ..)
i mean when im playing .. if the cpu temps are like 55 so the moab will be around that number ..

and 55c cpu temps while playing games is good ?

 

[alexoiu]

You're welcome.
Yes, 55 is fine under load.

Sorry to annoy you , but i just stress tested my pc and the cpu was about 65-60
but my motherboard was going 74 at stayed on that

i tested it only for like 30sec beacuse i need to go

is it still normal ? haha

 

[alexoiu]

What cpu cooler using?

 

[BrizZeR]

Corsair Hydro H110i GTX Extreme

65 seems a bit high, but...I wouldn't worry, if 55 when gaming.

Wait .. when im using prime95 .. how much threads i should run ? cause i did 8 when it showed me 65 ...
if i do 1 its 40-45 sometimes go to 50

 

[alexoiu]

I avoid stressing the CPU with this kind of tests.
Gaming is the best test, in my opinion.

Those are good temperatures right ?

 

[alexoiu]

It's normal,, I'd say.
