Phanteks primo problem

Falconik · 3 Sep 2015 at 13:37

Hi I've recently purchased the phanteks primo case and I'm trying to get the pwn hub working. My scenario is this. I have a water cooling loop so I don't have any direct pump or heat sink that I have to plug into my mother board. I use the 4 pin pwm cable and plug it into my cpu fan header, I then use just one of my noctua fans which I have on my radiator for my master fan in slot 1, I then plug the rest of the fans into the hub. The sata power cAble is also plugged in as I have 8+ fans.

Now my problem is, when I boot up I get cpu fan error. Is this because it is not reading a fan speed and I need to set my cpu fan speed to ignore?? If I do this will it still read the temperatures so my pwm hub will still work correctly?

I have got it working but not the way the manual says so I don't actually know wether it working properly. I have my 4pin pwm cable plugged into a chassis 4 pin slot and just one of my case fans in the cpu fan header. Everything boots and all fans are turned on but I don't know wether it will be reading temps and working as it should. My motherboard is rampage v extreme.

Thanks in advance.

Just to clarify, do you have the cpu header plugged into Fan1 of the hub?

Hi, no the 4 pin pwm cable that came with the hub is plugged into its own 4 pin port, then into cpu fan header? Then I have one of my radiator fans plugged into fan 1 to set the role as my master fan? This what I think the manual says to do? But I always get the error.

Ah yeah ok that's right and yes fan1 is the one that the others should control match. So sounds like you've set it up right. I have a Primo and an EVOLV ATX I don't get the cpu error on Primo but do on the EVOLV, I've even set my EVOLV bios to ignore but still get the same problem.
Have you tried disabling Asus Q-Fan control does that help? Unfortunately I'm not at home to check my setup.

Where is Asus qfan control? I haven't tried disabling anything yet.

Its in your bios, try disabling it or set cpu fan monitoring to disabled.

How do I actually disable q fan control

Found it will see if this works

Nope.... Why is it working when I put it in cha fan but not cpu fan as the manual States

Works when I set cup to ignore but with a fan still on and everything on pwm mode :-)
