[SOLVED] TT Riing Plus 14 with Corsair h115i Pro

[whitelightning_189]

So I am super new to RGB fans and AIO's. I just recently bought a box of PC parts and so I got both of these, the fans are the 5 pack, I have the box with everything(I think) for the fans and I have the AIO, but no box for that, I have the AIO hooked in but am having trouble with how to use the TT Fans with the AIO. If I plug the fans into the fan splitter on the AIO then how could I control them?

Thanks

The aio is just a radiator and pump. Using corsair software you can control pump speed, fan speeds etc but otherwise it's still just a rad+pump. There's only 1 connection on the whole thing that actually needs a wire and that's the cpu_fan header on the mobo. So you can hook up the aio as is, but use the splitter box and TT software included with the RGB fans as cpu-fan. The fans will spin as needed, directed by the cpu, the pump and rad being separate.

Ok I think I understand. So as long as the cpu_fan plug from the aio is plugged it doesn't really matter because the TT software will allow me to have the fans on the Rad to be controlled, in terms of the hotter the cpu the fans will speed up. Is that correct?

TT box will plug into sys_fan and run the case fans, AIO plugs into USB, Sata and cpu_fan. If you want to put the TT's on the radiator, then TT box plugs into the cpu_fan, controls the fans on the radiator and case fans, AIO just plugs into Sata to power the pump. TT fans plug into TT box, Nzxt fans plug into the AIO pump only if used.
You can plug the TT fans into the pump, but you'll have no control over RGB, you'll only get that from the software via the TT box, so whatever fans are on the rad need to go to cpu_fan, either the TT via box or Nzxt via pump.
