Hello,
I am installing a CoolMaster Seidon closed water cooler (240 mm), in my Thermaltake Level 10 case, on to a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-ud5, with the AMD FX8350,
Well, the CoolMaster instructions are printed like one 'Already' Knows how it should be installed. It's all pictures, very little explanations.
When it gets to the power connections it shows the four pin pump & four pin dual fan plugging into the same header. (?)
My Gigabyte Motherboard has Two four pin fan headers, one labeled 'CPU-fan', the other 'SYS-fan1'.
There are two other three pin headers labeled 'PWR-fan' & 'SYS-fan2'.
Is what I am wondering is which header should the pump get plugged into, & which one for the fans?
Shouldn't the pump run constantly at full speed, & the fans very there speed accordingly to the CPU temp ? Or do they Both adjust their speed?
I do hope this CoolMaster works better than it's instructions did.
This AMD 8350 is supposed to get to about 125 Watts, which is why I am going with water cooling instead of a massive air heat sink.

Well, let me know.
Thanx.
