Hi,
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB 3600MHz F4-3600C16D-16GVK
MB: Asrock X370 Taichi
CASE: Fractal Define S
I successfully installed Liquid Freezer II 280 as front intake, overclocked Ryzen 5 1600 to 4.00 GHz at 1.38V and RAM to 3200C14. Prime 95 and Aida stress test shows CPU temp 70C and AIO 1350 RPM.
I connected AIO PWM to CPU_OPT/W_PUMP header and set it to "Performance mode". It is wierd that RPM is only at 1350 and CPU temp is 69-70C. This cooler should be overkill for R5 1600.
Where should I connect AIO PWM, to CPU_OPT/W_PUMP or CPU_FAN1 header?
MB specification:
1 x CPU Fan Connector (4-pin)**
1 x CPU Optional/Water Pump Fan Connector (4-pin) (Smart Fan Speed Control)***
**The CPU Fan Connector supports the CPU fan of maximum 1A (12W) fan power.
***The CPU Optional/Water Pump Fan supports the water cooler fan of maximum 1.5A (18W) fan power.
I read somewhere that it is better for pump to work at constant RPM, I didn't know the LFII has only one PWM that controls pump, fans and VRM fan and I can't control it separately. Does it show pump or fans RPM in BIOS monitor? I want fans to work at 80% all time to better cool my hdds but I am not sure is it safe for pump and AIO longevity?
