Hi i have:
- Asus Maximus IX Hero Motherboard
- Core i7 7700k CPU
- Asus Strix NVIDIA GTX 1080 TI 11GB
- Captain 240ex Cooling System
The 240ex Cooling System is liquid cooling system with 2 fans that goes to a spread heater and takes the heat "out".
Well said that, i have 3 connectors in the 240ex:
- One that is for the CPU itself
- Two (one from each fan)
1 - Should i connect the "One that is for the CPU itself"
to water pump, W_PUMP+, in my Motherboard?
2 - Should i connect the other two ones one in CPU_FAN and the other to CPU_OPT?
Reading my Motherboard's manual it says that CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT are both 1A 12W.
Then it says that W_PUMP+ is 3A 36W.
I Think that connecting the CPU spread heater of Captain 240ex to W_PUMP+ it's ok becouse is liquid and needs more power.
I have an H_AMP connector too that is 3A 36W too. The advantage of this connector is that is controlled by software. Should i connect into this instead of W_PUMP+?
My last question is what is the difference between a 3 pin connector and a 4 one.
You see there are too many connectors that i get lost.
Thnks in advance.
