cpu fan in wrong connection

Vinu_1 · Jul 30, 2016

my cpu fan is connected on system fan port and my cpu fan port is empty.... no issues till now, no warnings...my overall computer running cool with single fan .but is it wrong or cause bad to cpu.everyone say the draw different speeds.i am noobie
by the way my cpu fan with heat sync have 4 wires which is connected in a system fan port

In this case, the fan does not adjust its speed based on the CPU temperature, but based on the board's one, so, under load, the CPU temperature would increase. Theoretically, the board's BIOS should not allow you to start the board if no CPU fan installed, but I guess that it depends on the manufacturer (what board using)?

alexoiu :

Mini ITX (i think so)
ECS h81h3-I hdmi v1.0
it have two fan headers
sys fan header and
cpu fan header
both have four pins

And can't you power off the pc and connect the CPU cooler to the CPU fan header?

alexoiu :

no the wire is too short and two headers are in ditinct location sys fan header is near the cpu

Now I see.. That's the weirdest setup I've ever seen. Poor board design, I'd say. You can use a 4 pin extender.

Something like https://www.amazon.com/JBtek-Sleeved-Case-Extension-Cable/dp/B01EHGPKI4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469947916&sr=8-1&keywords=fan+extender

alexoiu :

thanks for 4 pin extender by the way why you said it looks weird

alexoiu · Jul 31, 2016

You're welcome.
Because they put the CPU fan header at the opposite side of the CPU socket.

yeah ecs have arranged everything in the motherboard soooo weird .when i check for mother board it shows another name as compumax h81h3-i but the motherboard is printed ecs on it.do you know why all the software i check shows wrong name?

No idea. I've tried to download the manual from their site. No luck. They seem to not care about the support they provide online for their products.

alexoiu :

me tooo tried bad support but mobo is good no problem still now .no noise no heat .i tried playing gta v under streess for ram (no gpu ram 4 gb)gave me 12-15 fps with small lags and a little more heat than normal.can you give me a good benchmark software to test motherboard perfomance

alexoiu · Jul 31, 2016

The test software don't test the board's performance only, but the system's one.
And I'm not a fan of the stress tests. They might damage components, when cooling or other issues present.

alexoiu :

thanks i might have done it. now i know it shouldnt be done thanks
i do have a doubt on memory can 8 gb run with a 4gb one in two different slots ?

alexoiu · Jul 31, 2016

"i do have a doubt on memory can 8 gb run with a 4gb one in two different slots ?" What do you mean?

Vinu_1 · Jul 31, 2016

alexoiu :

i have two ddr3 1600mhz slots
one already have 4 gb inserted i want to buy an extra 8 gb to make it 12 gb
i know 4+4 or 8+8 kit...most stable...high performing dual channel blah blah.
but if i buy a 8 gb now i can buy another one later(no money right now) for making it 16 other than wasting the 4gb kits i pay for now.
real question is will the 8+4 gb ram preposition in two slots each will it hurt my mother board or any components by any means?

alexoiu · Jul 31, 2016

I have never tested a board with 2 slots with different RAMs configuration than a kit. I suggest using only the 8 gb RAM module, as adding extra 4gb would not help you in terms of performance (unless using memory demanding applications).

alexoiu :

usually i play gta v .there is no graphics card so its shared from ram upto 2 gb and gta v needs 8 gb ram .in total i need 10 but i will try both 8 gb only and 8+4 perfomance and compatability when i buy one. i am short in cash to buy 8gb now.
i got this gifted by my brother he bought it from some weirdo built this assembly he put core i3 4130 instead of Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1265L v3
and 4 gb ram and hot glued it on slot and a short lengthed cpu cooler and connected to a syst fan and the fool cutted the hdd splitter to single one and connected a 5200 hdd
its now feels like he made this out of scraps.Cheating assemblers and sellers. now i have to again make money for buying stuff to make it stay good
