Installed a Corsair h60 the other day on my i7-3770, and cant seem to get the fan to auto adjust, I have the fan plugged into the CPU_Fan header on the motherboard and have found the settings for it in bios, but the only settings are "Automatic Full On" or "setting a target Temp" (currently set at 45c) that also gives you the option to select a level 1-9 selecting one of the levels only sets the fan at a constant speed no matter what the temp of the CPU. Having it at level 7 leaves the fan around 1900 rpm no matter if the CPU is idling at 30c or at full load at 50c. I know for a fact the stock cooler would adjust the fan speed based on CPU Temps before I replaced it. Any input would be helpful.
Thanks,
P.S. I am new to after market cooling so this could be totally normal and I just don't know it.

I am running bios 2.50 I believe, and I was told not to plug the pump into the fan header because its suppose to be variable speed, so people complain about getting pump noise when its throttled lower, the pump should stay at 4000 RPM

Solved the issue, just bought a fan controller and hooked the radiator fan up to that, then hooked my pump up to the CPU_Fan header and set my bios for it to run on max speed. Now I can run it almost completely noiseless, and when I game just crank up the speed and drown it out with my headphones
