Well, if all games runs on OpenGL, I I will use my ubuntu more often~~~
Truth is, they don't.
 
So I am stuck with windows and DX11~~~
 
Anyone have good cooler recons? My H100's fan controller is dead~~~~~~~

Why not just run the fans off a PWM header on the mobo?


This is what I did, but just for short time. I need something that has fan control over temperature. I use to use corsair link, but I think the native CPU fan controller also works fine to me.
 
You know as a noobie headfier that have only been here for less than 2 years, I do own some open head phones that require some quiet listening. As I play music on my PC, I think even I turn off half of the fan, my PC will still be cool~~~~

If it is a PWM header you can make your own noise profile in the BIOS based on the temp of the CPU, what motherboard do you have?
 
I can help you set it up if you aren't familiar with that.

Thank, I have ASUS Formula III (X58)
 
I believe my PWM has 2 extra header for the temperature sensor so the fan profile will be using the reading on that sensor.
Only the Qfan control is linked to the NB or CPU I think.
 
Besides, I do have a internal fan controller, so if I spend some time, I believe I can use the fan controller to get it work. But, I think it is time to give my CPU cooler an update since the H100 seems to be a little bit problematic.
 
P.S.
I have the corsair AF series fans which only have 3 pin controllers. So I believe it is been controlled by voltage/current other than PWM pules. Not sure the PWM header will work in my case~~~

Rampage III Formula will be able to adjust voltages on the fan headers from 4.4v to 12.1v so if you can't make the BIOS Q-Fan work you could try Asus' program called TurboV Evo and use the Fan Xpert tab within the program.
 
Not saying you can't get a new cooler (I for one, hate the "all in one" "water" coolers) but just trying to help you avoid spending cash if you don't have to :)

Well, for now, this is what I use.But I think sooner or late my pump will break, and I need something to cool my 4.2ghz six cores......

I really want to go custom cooling, but not on my old pc, gonna wait till new extremes come out.

Thanks for your help though, much appreciated

No problem, shoot me a PM if you need any assistance putting together your first real loop.  I keep up to date on the stuff coming out and have probably done 200-250 loops so I can help steer you clear from any issues :wink:

Newest addition to the computer systemss.

PowerBook G4 12" 867MHz 640mb RAM 80gb hard drive. Plan to upgrade to 1gb RAM. Works great as a portable for work spreadsheets and what not. Running Tiger.

Its my first mac that I have owned that can run X decently, and I'm absolutely loving it!
