AIO pump connect to?

[deadguy]

OK got Deepcool Capt 120 and would like to know where does the pump connected to? CPU_OPT or CPU_FAN1?

Current set-up; Pump (3 pin) connected to CPU_OPT (4 pin) and Fan, connected to CPU_FAN1 (Both 4 pin). Disable CPU Fan monitor in BIOS.

Either also can if not mistaken. Follow your aio manual?

My pump goes to CPU_FAN and fans go to CPU_OPT

Manual like own self own target. 3 on 3, 4 on 4 graphic.

my pump goes to CPU_OPT and fans to CPU_FAN

Mine the other way. Maybe need to change and see how cause look at YT, 1 guy do your way but one comment post the other way to let the pump run full always.

IMO pump should run full anyway because even with low fan speed can have very admirable cooling effect? But I also luan, let me check my h100i

Ah pai seh. Just beo my PC. Mine is the other way. Haha...

Pump to CPU_OPT. 2x fans to CPU_FAN.

Sorry for bumping this thread.

For those running AIO cooler, can I check which header you guys use for the pump? I am using the CPU_OPT.

1. Is the CPU_OPT always running at 100% / 12V?

2. Is it better to connect via a [molex to 4-pin adapter] straight from the PSU?

I have a H220-X and I assume the pump is designed to run at 100% and even for 24/7, it has a MTBF of 60,000 hrs, which is roughly 6.8 years.

Of course usually about 2-3 years will change hardware liao lah.

Just to check what you guys think is the best way to connect the pump.

The instruction manual states that you have to connect the pump to the molex and 4-pin. The molex takes care of the power and the 4-pin is rpm sensing, so I assume you can adjust the pump speed. I have yet to use my H220-x, but this was what I read over at OCN (official thread for H220-X and other Swiftech products).

no hard and fast. but generally pump should run at full speed. some AIO however can regulate pump speed. so pump should plug in 3 pin. For fan, definitely 4pin as no need to push fan at full speed.

i've had Deepcool AIO, although yrs is different. the pump rpm was too high so i plug into 4pin to reduce the pump speed. what's yr pump rpm? u can check in bios or speedfan.

Oh is it? Haha. Me too have not install it. Usually the AIO I used before, the pump only has a 4-pin header.

The pump on H220-X has a molex AND 4-pin header? Later go back open and see.

I had a Deepcool Captain240 before and the pump failed.

Regarding the pump speed, on spec sheet, the pump is rated at 2200 rpm. I connect it via CPU_OPT and my BIOS will not show the speed nor control the speed of that header.

But anyhow, AIDA64 is able to pick up the speed and it shows 5000+ rpm.

I checked with Deepcool Taiwan and the CS explained:

The real pump speed should be 2200±10%RPM. But because its pump is a Three-phase induction motor, the software will show its speed as double of its real speed, so 5000RMP should be considered as a normal status.

Is that the reason you are seeing high rpm on your pump?

ok. thanks for the info, direct from Deepcool. it should be correct then but i did find the pump quite noisy. so from a user pov, not one of the better AIOs i've used.

pumps can fail every now and then, regardless of brand. even Coolermaster and Corsair also got notable failures on various forums. it's one of the downsides to AIO.

Personally, I won't be using the extra PWM splitter hub, adds clutter to my chassis.

Agreed.

The reason I asked what is the best way to connect is, just a few weeks back, (I suspect) while leaving my PC on overnight, the pump failed.

So there is no cooling to the CPU while it is still working, though not high load (torrenting). I think it caused the inside TIM of the chip to dry up.

Although after that the CPU is still working, I am getting very high temp. Imagine just running a virus scan will hit 100°C.

Thanks for the link.

My initial plan is:

2x Fans --> CPU_FAN
Pump --> SATA power direct to PSU

Now there is an extra 4-pin on the pump, probably connect it to a CHA_FAN header just so I can check the speed of the pump.

I experience both deepcool captain and deepcool maelstrom.

The captain is noisier not sure why, since its suppose to be 1 tier up the maelstrom. (I think)

Maelstrom is alot quieter.

I connect the pump to 3pin cpu fan header. Using bios to regulate the pump speed depending on temps.
