i thought i would try and check pc works properly first before i install the gpu to avoid any damage to it if it goes wrong.

You need to install the gpu or plug the monitor into the motherboard to view any possible error messages that may appear.

one other thing was, does the cooler fan wire go in the PWR FAN1 or CPU FAN1 on mobo?

bulldog147 · 21 Jun 2011 at 20:31

CPU FAN1 for your water cooling fan (4 pin), POWER SYS FAN for your pump (3 pin)

Don't forget your thermal paste on the cpu plate (maybe your water cooling heatsink plate had pre-applied of paste already)

ye i'll connect the monitor to the mobo via VGA

storm45 · 21 Jun 2011 at 20:36

with this cooler, the fan attached to case has one wire, and the waterblock thing on the processor has 2 wire.

i checked youtube video and the guy says that the fan wire connects to one of the wire from waterblock and then he says the other wire from waterblock connects to cpu fan power slot of mobo? :S

edit: can i post youtube link?

The pump by the heatsink should be plug into POWER FAN (3 pin) never put in the CPU FAN1 (because it will be auto speed varies) the fan behind your radiator should be on your CPU FAN1 ! The power 3 pin will be full speed at all times for your pump !

Belongs it does not contain swearing or competitor names.

storm45 · 21 Jun 2011 at 20:41

i'm guessing nothing goes into the CPU FAN then?

RJC · 21 Jun 2011 at 20:42

You could plug the cooler fan in there.

Is there a single wire coming from the Antec620 head to monitor rpms?

bulldog147 · 21 Jun 2011 at 20:44

You can post the link of your you tube video yep

storm45 · 21 Jun 2011 at 20:45

i don't think so. if you have a look at this link and skip to 3.02, the guy shows the wires.

I never seen anything like that before two wires from fan and pump plug together and plug into cpu fan sound a bad idea to me! Corsair H50 fan go to CPU, Pump go to POWER

The pump assembly has the flying lead in which the fan plugs into, then the main lead from the cooler / pump assembly plugs into the motherboard header. You could plug into the cpu header but you would need to disable any fan contriol options in the bios for the cpu socket.

I don't like this idea to be honest!

the two wires.....just plug the fan into CPU only and put the pump wire into the POWER!

Majority of builds I have done the cpu fan header has the speed control disabled so the header always supplies 12v.

For the time being plug the pump into the psu header and plugging the fan into the cpu header would also stop the fan error message on start-up.

I know the feeling mate, I did the same!

good luck

and keep an eyes out of your CPU temperature! Should be around 17C-20C for stock speed)
