Asus 4-Way Optimization & Thermaltake v Core71 Case - FAN ROUTING

cthiggin · Jun 13, 2014

Need to know if I have to put the Thermaltake chassis fans headers on the motherboard for ASUS 4 way Optimization to recognize them. There are currently 4 fans on the chassis that go to a controller on top of case - Lo - High - Led - Reset.
I don't know if the Asus optimization will recognize and control them UNLESS they are connected to the mb.

Thank you

I believe all the chassis fan headers are 4 pin on that MB. So you would probably need to use 4 wire PWM fans for the MB to be able to control them. 3 wire fans will probably run at full RPM all the time. Besides, if your case has an integrated fan controller, you would be able to control the case fan speed (and noise) according to your taste. Personally, I would prefer the fan controller.

Hi cthiggin
For chassis fans use the case fan controller for only the pre installed fans

For the use of ASUS 4 way optimization you will have to connect the fans to your motherboard
what is your motherboard ?

mickyphoenix,
Thanks so much for your reply.
My new mb is the ASUS X79 Deluxe
I "like" the thoughts of the 4WayOpt... controlling all fans...however, you are suggesting to keep the fans shown in the .jpg from TT) connected to the TT controller - AND - any other fans I install, use the MB headers and 4 Way Opto...

You would not suggest moving "those" fan headers to the mb so ALL fans could be controlled by 4 Way??

I'm just trying to understand if "it's that big of a deal" to not have all fans controlled by the 4 Way Opto..

ALSO - love the TT picture. My owners manual that came with the chassis is so small I can hardly read it....Is there a TT site that would show my chassis like the jpeg you furnished?

Thanks so very much for your thoughts and input.

it does not really matter if the tt fans are hooked to their controller , its not a big deal at all to have them all on your mobo
if that is what you wish to do
Your motherboard has the 4 cha_fan 4 pin headers on it so connecting them should not be a drama however you may need some fan extension cables , not sure if the fan cables will all reach your mobo.
Here is a link to your case manual
http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model_support.aspx?id=C_00002231
and your mobo manual
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA2011/X79-Deluxe/E8419_X79-Deluxe.pdf

a handy tip for you , if something is to small to read , hold in the control key on your keyboard and use your mouswheel scroll to enlarge or make smaller

Thanks so very much for your clarification....I have extra fan cables and y-splitters....I just like the idea of the 4 Way Opt...controlling ALL the fans for min/max requirements - To "me", having the TT controller, either hi-lo for the 3 installed case fans and the other fans I'm going to install on the mb - I thinks you would get into an balance issue with fans "fighting" each other.

I've d/l's the .pdf's - now I'll be able to see the manuals versus the hard copy ones that are so small.

Again, THANK YOU for your thoughts and input....you've made my day to build easier.

you are welcome , hope it all goes well for you , all the best

Hello sir,
The build has gone very well - all hardware in, and all fans are routed for connection to mb.
Will finish up all connections tomorrow after church.

The ONLY connector that I "cannot" find is where to plug in the little on-board pc speaker. It came with the TT Case,
but I cannot find it. Have looked at the mb manual in .pdf, large enough to see well - and I cannot find it. There is no
on-board pc speaker that comes standard.

Appreciate all of your help.

Tom

hi tom , the small speaker is meant to plug into your motherboard on your system panel connector
look at page 1-45 on your manual in the top right hand corner is the word speaker , this is where the small speaker gets plugged in

cthiggin · Jun 15, 2014

mickypheonix :

Hello friend,
THANK you. I've had 7 previous builds and all the the mb's had the on-board pc speaker already "made into board".

I put my good "cheater glasses" on and saw it right away....I was looking in the middle of board where all the previous on board speakers had resided.

Thanks again. Sure have appreciated your help.

Have a blessed day - and a Happy Fathers' Day if you are one.
