Hey, first off, I've recently started trying to optimize a new build of mine, and I'm using a modded case...
The problem is that the sound isolation of this case is rubbish. Even using the most silent fans I own, I can hear the fans on my H100 (not H100i) as if they were sitting on the desk next to me, which is a pain when it's idling, but my fan configuration software/BIOS doesn't seem to be capable of controlling fans running off an H100 block.
My question is... can I disconnect the fan connectors from the H100 block and run them off the CPU fan header(s) and/or a controller? The H100 block itself is connected to the CPU fan header, but I don't know if disconnecting that will cause the pump to start acting inaccordingly.
The way I see it, the H100 might be reading fan voltage off the CPU headers and acting from there, or they might have their own built-in temp gauges that control the pump all independently. If the latter is true, then I should be able to run the fans separately from the H100, right?
I've only owned this H100 for about a year now, but I still have yet to tinker too much with it. I'd just really rather play it at least a little safe when there's liquid in my computer...
If it makes any difference, my mobo is an ROG Maximus VI Formula, and my fans are all 3-pins.
EDIT: Sorry I probably should have mentioned one more detail; the real problem is that my fans are at a constant 2000-3000 RPM when they're on the H100. I want to run them off something that lets me control it more.
