Is it possible to set the case fans curve temps to GPU temps? I can set the fans to the Motherboard, CPU, PCH(what is that), and some other temp sensors, in both Ai Suite 3 and BIOS. Speed fan shows GPU temps, so does GPU Tweak 2. Am I missing something here?

Motherboard is ASUS MAXIMUS X HERO
GPU is ASUS ROG 1080 STRIX
Fans are 4 Corsair SP120's (all connected to PWM hub, connected to CHA_FAN2, BIOS set to PWM mode)

 
Solution

The PWM hub is probably connected by the USB2.0 header on your motherboard or through molex. The hub won't be able to communicate with the GPU. If you want it to scale with GPU speed for all of your fans, you'll probably need to buy 2 2-way or 1...
EDIT: Misinterpreted the question.

You have a Strix card so there are fan headers on the end of the card. You can put a splitter on that and connect your fans to the splitter and they should be controlled by GPU fan speeds. A fan curve for your GPU can be set up through MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision X.
 


ohh, i do see two 4pin pins on the rigth side of the strix card.
so do i:
Plug the PWM hub into one of the 4pins
or
Connect one of the 4pins with another 4pin on the PWM fan hub

All right, thanks
