Hi just got this and have built my first pc yay!

But in the Bios it shows that the cpu fan is going at 2000 rpms and the chasis fan 2 header (the H70 pump) is only going 1090 rpms. My cpu is around 40 degrees C at idle. I'm using a P8P67 Asus mobo and would like to know if this is a good standard or how i would throttle the H70 pump to get the idle temps lower cause i want to overclock sometime in the future. Ive tried using turbo settings in the bios and that doesnt seem to change the rpms at all.

I'm just worried the pump isnt gettin full power

Thanks
 
The fan should be on a PWM fan header, the pump should be on a header that has this disabled or connected to a molex adapter so it gets full power all the time.
 
thats not true,the instructions say connect the fan power connector to the cpu header and connect the pump power connector to any 3 pin fan header,thats how i have it and its working fine. :)
 
Its very strange cause the EFI Bios on the new P8P67 mobo states that my idle cpu temp is at 40 degress C. I just installed the AI suite 2 software and that states that my cpu is at 31 degrees C. The fans in push pull are at 2000 rpms and r connected to the cpu fan header with the PWM slot absent as okayed by the install guide. The pump is connected to the only other 3 pin fan header on my mobo and runs at 1040 rpm. This doesnt seem right to me I think the pump needs more rpms...

Stormer where do u ge that cpu temp info from?

No thats correct,it will speed up when you start using a app,while its in idle mode there is no reason for it to be working at full speed till its needed...download core Temp and post a screenie of your temps for us :)
 
didn't think 3 pins where pwm. When I was looking at these someone on the corsair blogs said that was the way to do it. But if the instructions are different then that must be the way to do it.
 
phew! thanks for the reassurance guys, for anyone looking to buy one of these do urself a favour and install the back plate before u install the mobo...the cpu opening on my case wasnt in the right place (pre-1155 socket case) and so i had to remove the mobo again -.-
other than that it was a breeze to install.
