Phanteks primo pwm hub

Falconik · 3 Sep 2015 at 13:31

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.

Ah right, I had it plugged into the one that's next to cpu opt? Is that the main one? Would it all still work as it should if I just turned it to ignore?

Also if it reads the temps threw the components then what's the point in plugging the pwm cable in this first place? Or is that just there to power the rest of the fans

Hi doyll, so I've put my 4 pin cable into the cpu 4 pin header. And the rest of my fans into the hub. With one of my case fans been the master fan. But for my PC to boot I had to set cpu monitor to ignore ? Will it all still work as it should? Or should I put it in one of the 4 pin chassis headers, will it still work then? Also another question. I have 4x fans on my rad, are they ok been on my hub or should I have connected them separately. I have 2 notcua pushing and the xspc fans pulling

Ok guys so here's what happens. When my PC boots the fans don't start until after post. Then I get the cpu fan error warning. When I set cpu fan monitor to ignore in bios, the error stops showing and my computer starts fine. But my worry is that..... Does the monitor need to be enabled for the hub to work properly. I have now configured my case so that my 4 noctua fp12 fans ionmy rad are separated and connected to a fan controller as I want more control over that because it's purely for my cpu obviously. I have 5 case fans hooked up to my pwm hub, with the 4 pin cable that has the sticker on it saying (To motherboard cpu fan header). So this is what I have done. But like I said my only worry is that the hub might not be working as it should due to cpu fan monitor been set to ignore? Should this effect anything or not? Thanks hope this makes sense .
