New build - Needs overclocking

Thanks I didn't think I had use the fan but wanted to make sure. The other fans do speed up. I have tried it on all the settings in the bios and with AI Suite, but they never go above 1400rpm. If you see in the picture below there's hardly any difference between 20% and 100% after their calibrated.

Try selecting turbo in the bios, then set the cpu fan profile in ai suite to turbo, (yours is currently set to user which you can tweak yourself), calibrate, apply. Then load up the cpu with something like p95 and use hwmonitor/ai suite to see if the speed rises. This is how mine is set up, fans currently at 1480 rpm, once the cpu is under load they hit full speed.
 
Few pics of ai suite/hwmonitor.

Notice on the hwmonitor screen, the values for fan speed change according to load. This is with turbo set in both bios and aisuite.
 
Is the pwm spilter cable hooked upto the psu properly? Best to double check that all connections are solid.

How i set mine up was, in bios chose user settings, saved, booted up to windows, then opened up fanxpert, chose user profile, whilst the cpu was under 0% to 1% load, i ran calibration and mine ranges from 600rpm upto 1900rpm.

Im not sure if other ways work too, from setters info it looks like it does.

You may have to wait till its abit cooler, say at night, have the window open for a few mins, let the ambient cool down, and try and re-calibrate again. That calibration dos'nt seem to be right to me.

Edit:
Whats the semi-circle button on Ai suite u 2 have, mine dos'nt seem to have that lol.
 
Im pretty sure the pwm splitter is set up ok, I have the 2 vipers and the h50 cable plugged into the 3 cables, then its plugged into the cpu fan on the motherboard and the molex connector on the psu.

I have tried calibrating the fans loads of times over the last 2 weeks on standard, turbo, etc. and the outcomes always the same. It was only the other day that I noticed they were meant to go up to 1900rpm.

The 3rd option on AI Suite is TurboV.
 
Mmm maybe try having the H50 pump cable plugged into the mobo by itself, that may be stopping the fans reaching full speed, as it can't be speed controlled, i think thats where the issue is. Its worth a shot.

Not the turbo v one, mine has that the top icon, with the Zzz's, probably some power saving or something i guess, i have that turned off anyways lol.
 
Ok I will try the h50 on the motherboard on its own.

The zzz's option is called AI nap. "AI nap let users instantly turn on/off your PC without terminating the tasks" i've never used it.
Now all we need to know is what the 4th mystery option on the left is lol.
 
the one on the left is EPU, basicly uber power saving options, spread across all components, i personally turned it off in the bios myself, as im not sure if it works when overclocked lol.

Mmm wonder why mine dos'nt have AI nap, guess i never downloaded that one lol, ahwell only takes me seconds to turn off anyways, gotta love SSD's.
 
Plugging the h50 into the motherboard on its own hasn't changed the viper speed calibration problems, but I think it has made the h50 work slightly better.
 
Mmm i can't think why its not reading the full speed of them, 1 viper in the cpu plug, 1 in case fan plug on the splitter, to cpu pluged into the cpu header on mobo.

Mmm only thing i can think of is that the temps have been high when u have been tring to calibrate, but even then it should read the top end speed of the fans.

I'll have a further think and post back if i can think of anything.
 
Ok before I had the 2 vipers in the case fan splitters, I just changed one to the cpu and now im getting a range of 680rpm all the way up to the heady heights of 1962rpm. Am I right in thinking that only one of the vipers is going up to 1962rpm though?

Nope they will both be going to 1900, its just one needs to at first, so the other follows, but to us its instant, but in reality its like few nano seconds behind.

Was kinda thinking that may be the issue, that u where not using the cpu plug for one of them, glad its finally sorted out now.

Btw they are loud at 1900 so only use that when u are stress testing.

But glad we finally got that sorted for u, one less thing to worry about.

Edit:
When using IBT set the threads to 8, otherwise it will only use 50% of ur cpu, if u look at realtemps load.

Yeah we are definitely making progress, but If you look in the last pic chassis1 is the other viper and that's staying on 1350rpm. Do you think the splitter cable is faulty?

edit: yeah it does get loud when it gets up to 1900rpm.
 
Are you sure Chassis1 is the other viper? Does chassis1 change at all, as its probably the water pump, if u pluged that into a normal header it will read the pumps speed, if you have a pwr_header, plug the pump into that, as the pwr one can't be controlled.

I have 3 case fans connected to my mobo 2 split and 1 not, then i have 2 vipers using the pwm cable, both are run by the cpu header, and only shows 1 rpm for both.

The vipers will only show as cpu in AI, if you pluged them in as i said earlier, that other reading is either another fan, or the h50 pump.

Set the vipers to run 100% by going into fanxpert, and go into profile and and choose disaple, this will ramp them up fully. Then check to see if both fans are spinning at the same speed, by looking at them, a hassle i know, but will put ur mind at ease.
 
Ahh ok it must be the h50 plugged into chassis1 because all the other fans are fractals, and they don't go that fast.

I will swap it to the pwr one now.
