water cooling fan setup

[r3br3l15]

i fully installed my first ever water cooling cpu loop yesterday, apart from some slight misshaps im very pleased with the outcome, what do you think?




ive got a XSPC EX240 single width 120mm rad, with 2x NF-F12 noctua fans on pull configuration, these are mounted at the top of the case, i am going to install a 140mm fan on the rear of the case to act as an exhaust, and another 140mm on the front of the case to blow air across my hard drives etc

the question is what is the best way to connect these up as i dont have a fan controller?

also because i dont have a CPU cooler anymore do i need to use the CPU fan port on the MB and the plug the other fans into the sys fan ports?

You can pick up a fan splitter fairly easily, I use a modmytoys 8 way pwm hub in my rig.

Looks good! Don't think it matters about the CPU header I left mine off when I had a full WC loop

You can usually disable the CPU fan detect feature in the bios, if it is not already turned off. I connected mine to the pump rpm lead, so the system can read the pump speed. (D5 vario pump).
