The only thing is that you will need a 4 pin PWM extension cable because the top fan cable is short and connects at the top of the case.

Otherwise the easiest thing is to connect the fan to a mobo header and set a custom curve in BIOS to monitor CPU temps. You can try it for 30 days free just to see if it works. Not sure on this but either way this software requires a subscription. I remember someone mentioned Argus Monitor could read the fan. Since iCUE is brain dead on the fan curve, would it be possible to use a third-party program to manage this? Any recommendations? Or could the fan be plugged into a fan header on the mobo and a curve set in the BIOS?Īs far as I know, there is no software that can detect the top fan because the fan is connected to the GPU pump hence why only iCUE can see the fan. After closing that program, I have to return it to 'custom.' Then I have to use the 'extreme' setting, which brings the fan to max. The irritation comes when I have to run something on a heavy load. My workaround has been to set a 'custom' speed of 900 RPM, which keeps things cool under normal load and is quiet. Apparently iCUE used to allow setting a fan curve, but it no longer allows that (at least for the i200). When the temp gets too hot, the BIOS failsafe kicks in, the computer flashes red, and the fan spins up to max RPM until it is cooled.

This is the only computer I have ever owned that I had to manually control the CPU fan.Īs others have noted, the iCUE software (I have version 3.38.88) sets the default fan speed to 0RPM and never changes that, regardless of the coolant temp. I have a i200, which I like very much EXCEPT for the fan control situation.
