Hey Guys

I have just finished building my PC with a custom watercooling loop, using a Swiftech MCP655-PWM pump. It is connected to an ASUS maximus viii hero motherboard in the W_pump header.

The pump is working great and i am able to read the rpm in AI Suite 3.
My problem is that i am not able to control the rpm of the pump and it is currently running at full load (4830 rpm).

When i try to change the rpm in AI Suite 3, the curve changes but nothing happens to the pump. This is when the curve is adjusted in "smart mode", i can´t change it to "RPM Fix mode" for some reason?

I have been using the auto fan tuning and all my fans are working correctly and are adjustable.

Hope you guys have an answer, i didn't build a water-cooled PC for it to be noisy :)

Thanks for replying but i figured it out myself.

The problem was that the water pump control was disabled by default in the bios. I had some difficulty finding it, so for those having the same problem, it can be found under Monitoring --> Qfan control --> Water pump.
So i changed it to PWM mode and everything is controllable from AI suite.
