[SOLVED] Push/Pull Question on AIO

[captainpicard]

I have a Corsair H115i Platinum currently set up as a pull. I have recently bought two additional 140mm (non-rgb) fans and would like to install them into my AIO and have corsair icue control them. My question is, where do I plug them into since the pump only supplies two connectors for the fans it comes with?

Use the Y-splitter and connect the rest of the fans on your MoBo,

While you could use Y-splitter on your AIO as well, to expand the 2x fan headers into 4x fan headers, if you want to control fan speed via iCUE but there's an issue. Ii have no idea the amperage rating of your AIO and you can overload your AIO by connecting too many fans to it. E.g MoBo fan headers are usually rated for +12V and 1.0A. Connecting e.g 4x 0.3A fans to it would pull 1.2A from single header, thus frying it.

Yep, Y-splitter. I'm running a Corsair H100i cooler in the roof of my build and two intake fans in front, then two more intake fans in the bottom, which are split from a single fan header on the mobo. Fan headers output 1 amp and most fans run .25 - .35 amps, so you should be able to split two from one fan header easily. I just split mine last night so I could get some more air in since I ran out of fan headers.
