The manual actually tells you to connect the pump tach cable to the CPU fan header, not the fan splitter. Did you watch the install instructions i posted above?

If everything was hooked up as instructed, and the aio was working perfectly prior, the the obvious answer is you need to reinstall CAM as that's the only change. It's not all that uncommon for a download to get a glitch, especially if you happened to be doing something else, or your AV happened to do a search or you were updating multiple items etc.

When starting a game, you are putting a load on the cpu. What's your temps look like under loads? Is Cam even running? I had initial issues getting Cam to start automatically after a windows update, ended up just putting it on a windows task, it was getting hung up with the UAC.

If it was working properly before, there's got to be something different now.

Ok. That sounds an awful lot like either your pc is running very cool, or what you are seeing is liquid temps, not cpu temps, which is very hot.

The krakens can report either, depends which setting its on in Cam. If it IS liquid temps, 42°C is quite hot, consequently the fans will be trying for a much lower temp on the curve, so will spin at max speeds or close. On my x61 cpu temps gaming will be closer to 55°C but liquid temps get to @35°C at most. At 42°C liquid, expect the cpu to be running closer to 70-80°C. How the temps are read makes a huge difference, liquid temp is default on, not cpu. If this is true, it would fully explain why your fans are so fast, even on silent mode.

Which really makes me wonder why your cpu is so hot. Even at a 4.9GHz OC on my i7-3770K under torture test, liquid only got to 36°C after ½ hour test and cpu hit 72°C
