Hello all,
So I just built my first PC. To be honest, I am very new to all of this and my knowledge here is very limited. Learning as I go and getting a lot of help from some awesome people. I have a Gigabyte X570S Aorus Master, 2x Samsung 970 Evo plus nvme SSD ( 2 tb and a 1 TB), Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Galahad 360 SL edition Aio, SL 120 infinity fans (x10), 6900xt red devil ultimate, trident z royal ram (32gb), EVGA supernova 1000 g6, and o11d Evo case.
I have my AIO pump plugged into CPU_Fan on the motherboard as I don’t have anything else to plug in there and I’ve read that the pc doesn’t like it when nothing is plugged into this header. My fans won’t plug into that header. They only have one plug with the fan power and RGB in a single plug. The fans are all connected to the Uni hub, along with the AIO RGB. I’m concerned about heat when setting up my pc for the first time. I know the pump will be going but none of the fans will. Not until I download L-Connect. But first I will need to download, install, and update windows. Will heat be a problem while I do this? My plan is to get the fans going before downloading all the drivers but I’m not sure if this the right thing to do either. Do I need updated drivers before downloading and setting up L-Connect? I also read that the pump needs to run at 100% all the time. Am I able to do this with CPU_fan? I’ve read that this runs based off cpu temp and if the pump doesn’t run at a constant speed, it can shorten its life? I know this is a long post with a lot of questions but if you are able to help, please explain like you are speaking to a simpleton because when it comes to pc building, I am. Thank you for your time.
