Good afternoon
I’m more than a little confused re how to install a Corsair H45 liquid CPU cooler on a Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 TH motherboard, specifically : what motherboard headers do the cables from the cooler go to (ie the plastic-coated 4-pin connector and the fabric-covered 3-pin connector) ?
The CPU_FAN header on the board is 4-oin, and the CPU_OPT header is 4-pin.
Also on the board are SYS_FAN1, SYS_FAN2, SYS_FAN3 and SYS_FAN4. Sys-fans 1-3 are 4-pin and sys-fan 4 is 3-pin.
I have one case fan at the rear of the case, which has a 3-pin cable.
Am I correct in thinking that :
The fabric-covered 3-pin cable (pump power cable ?) needs to connect to CPU_FAN ?
The plastic-coated 4-pin cable (fan power cable ?) needs to connect to CPU_OPT ?
The case fan needs to connect to SYS_FAN4 ?
As far as I’m aware , the board supports CPU fan speed control, and the Corsair H45 has adjustable fan speed controller.
Your guidance will be very much appreciated. Thanks
