I read the manual for my motherboard and it is not making sense to me,I have an ASUS Prime Z390-P Mobo.
What's not making sense to me is that it say exactly in the manual (The CPU_FAN connector Supports a CPU fan of maximum 1A or (12 W) fan power
There is another line right below the last line I just quoted and it say's this exactly,(Connect the fan of your water cooling kit to the AIO_PUMP connector)
I'm wanting to run the radiator fans separately from the pump because I understand that the pump and fans speeds will be different.
What I was wondering should I plug the 3 fans into the CPU_Fan Connector because it has 1 amp output,or into the AIO connector.
I know they worded stuff this way assuming that most people would run the pump and 3 fans threw the AIO connector,but at the same time the way they word it doesn't make sense because if the AIO has less then 1 amp why would they want you to plug in 3 fans plus a a pump into that connector.
I seen a video that shows you need an a PWM single extension cable which I'm getting with my AIO and you just unplug the fan closest to the hose's and connect the extension cable directly to that fan to run the fans separately.
The reason I'm wanting to run the fans separately from the pump is because I know that the fans will most likely run at a different speed from the pump and for PWM and fan speed control it makes more sense to me to run the fans separately.
Thanks for any help you guys can give.
