Corsair H150 - Connection of Pump Tach

Hi,
Just old documentation before aio port existed but you can use either one and or test on both
If you end up using aio put another fan on the cpu port too for the single rear or where ever.

Yes fans need to be to the corsair wiring 2 or three depending on rad size.

Are you using CPU_Fan header or AIO_Pump header?

Gigabyte boards have CPU_FAN or CPU_OPT...

I always use the CPU fan as Gigabyte makes no distinction between the two other than name. Anyway I've got my H115i Pro attached to the CPU_FAN header. BTW I've found absolutely no difference between CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT when trying both. But that's Gigabyte. On Asus, since it says AIO_Pump header, I'd probably use that unless I ran into issues.

As a follow up question, where did connect rad fans? Directly to Corsair pump cables or did you utilize other MB Headers?

I've got the fans connected to the pump per Corsair's instructions being you can control the fans through Corsair's iCUE or Link software. You could connect them to the MB and control them from there, but they won't be seen in iCUE or Link.

BTW I thought about replacing my H115i with the H150i but decided to stick with the 115i. It's a 280mm with two 140mm fans. Yours is 360mm with three 120mm fans. I also have an H100i in my backup system. Good coolers.

Peace:)

I went with H150 to increase the surface area of the rad. I figure the bigger the rad the slower I can run fans. Not out to bench mark, just quiet.

I'm actually trying to keep fans down. My main rig holds three system fans - two front 200mm, one real 140mm. My H115i holds two 140mm fans. Outside of the GPU and PSU fan (only spins when needed), those are the only fans I have.

I prefer silence over performance so I don't overclock. Also helping is my case has a mesh front that doesn't obstruct air flow to the front fans. This keeps for a quiet system with less fans while being efficiently cooled.

That's me.

Whatever works
