H110i GT + Enthoo Primo + PWM Fan control

Type_R · 27 May 2015 at 10:10

Hi guys

I got myself an H110i GT yesterday and I have to say I am impressed with the temps but not with the fans (noisy even in quiet mode!) and CorsairLink.

The issue I have is I cannot control my case fans via the Phanteks PWM hub (connected to CPU2 Fan header on motherboard) via CorsairLink. Yet I can control it with speedfan or MSI Command centre.

I would prefer to use just CorsairLink as my fan control software...but whenever I try to configure the system fans I only get one option...Default:

Any ideas how I can get it to allow me to setup a custom profile for my system fans please?

PWM hub on the Phanteks cases is for 3 pin fans and a wonky solution. Link may not be recognizing the hub as a true PWM device is a possibility. Did you try to see if the stock fans on the cooler gave you all the options when directly connected to CPU fan header?

Also note that CPU_2 is a mirror header and offers no discrete control.

Well actually the corsair fans give me all the options.

The phanteks hub I have full control of via speed fan and does offer discrete control. I was expecting corsair link software to provide the same functionality!

Ah that's a Corsair link/Phanteks hub thing then. I am curious also now and hopefully others can chime in.

I've just tried switching the Phanteks PWM hub to CPU Fan1 header and the Corsair to CPUFan2 header and it has made no difference.

Speedfan and MSI control center both allow me to set custom curves for the Phanteks PWM hub and the system fans respond accordingly.

Here is my 2 cents:
Corsair link is a proprietary piece of ****, that is notoriously bad at interacting with anything not corsair, dont use it.

The phanteks fan hub is controlled just fine by a pwm header, either from the BIOS, whatever windows app accompanying your motherboard, or a external fan controller.
