How can you control multiple nzxt krakens?

[Muddn2urgrave]

Hey all,

I am starting a new build.

I was thinking of installing a custom liquid cooling system but decided a closed loop option was better for me.

I already have a Kraken x40 on my i5 and have been happy with it's performance.

The thing is, If I continue with the Kraken, I will most likely get set up with a pair of NZXT G10 brackets and another pair of Krakens.

I have found pictures and videos of people running several at once but I cannot find any information on how they are controlling them.

It doesn't appear the supplied software will handle this.

So..... I am assuming there is something different they are doing.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

fan controllers mate, then remember which cooler is on which fan plugin

I thought about that.

How about the pumps?

Will they run off a fan controller?

Just don't hook up the usb headers?

typically AIO pumps run at one speed, and any variation is kinda useless anyways as it doesnt give any extra boost in performance

OK I see. So with just the pump power plugged in and not the header it should just run flat out off the three pin connector.

Makes sense.

The usb header typically controls the fan speed and lighting through the software via the electronics built into the pump unit.

We don't care about that in this case because the fans will not be plugged into the pump assembly.

So plain and simply put.

Plug the pumps 3 pin harness in. pump runs flat out as normal.

Fans plug into an actual fan controller and that's it.

Sweet Thanks.

Stupid simple I just couldn't see it.
