Installing Cooler Master Fans

15.10.2019 
Fans

Before installing a CPU fan and heatsink, you'll first have to determine whether you need to apply thermal paste to the CPU.As we have explained in our ' article, it is essential to have thermal paste between the CPU and heat sink. Without it, your CPU will run about 20 to 30°C hotter under load. Even if your CPU doesn't overheat and shut down immediately, its lifespan is going to be shortened considerably.If you're installing the default Intel or AMD heat sink fan for the first time, then there is no need to apply any thermal compound. The reason is simple - The standard CPU fan (called a stock cooler) that comes with every boxed Intel and AMD CPU has thermal paste pre-applied to its base. You can see the three grey stripes of pre-applied thermal paste in the image below.

Inspiron 570 - Installing Cooler Master Hyper 212+. You can use Cooler Master fan somewhere in your setup, when 4 pin connected to 3 pin. The Cooler Master Hyper D92 provides excellent cooling performance in a tight, sleek package. Featuring dual 92mm fans in push-pull configuration, Hyper D92 is able to accelerate heat dissipation by maximizing airflow with offset fans.

Hello there,I am hoping someone can help me out - it's been 20 some years since I built a computer - some things seems easier now, some harder.I have a Cooler Master MB530P case with 3 pre-installed RGB fans. The system has an ASUS TUF X299 Mark 2 motherboard. I'm trying to connect the various front panel cables from the case to the mobo. Cooler Master's directions seems to be only a foldable paper (like a city map) that just shows hardware screws, etc. I can't find anything on line for the cables.I think I largely have it figured out, but, the pre-installed fans are confusing. From the fans there are the following:1) Each one has a cable (looks like ending in 3 pins) that are tied to a splitter/adapter that has a molex power connector. It seems this should go to the PSU periphery.2) Then there are the cables in the image attached.3) There is also a SATA power connection coming off the front panel where the 'RGB controller' button is.Note, the Mark 2 motherboard has an 'AURA SYNC' chip on it, but, no header for an RGB controller.

Thus, it seems that the RGB controller button is what will be used. In this case, I believe the approach should be -A) Fan power - connect the molex power to the PSU.B) RGB/Controller power - connect the SATA power to the PSUC) Don't connect the other cables shown?Any help would be great. Yes, these are fans containing ADDR RGB type lighting modules, and those can only be used with a controller of that type. You are correct - the mobo has no such controller. Thus you SHOULD use the case's system to control those lighting devices.Each of those fans has TWO cables coming from it.

ONE of these ends in a 3-pin connector that clearly has the spacing for four pins in a straight line, but Pin #3 is missing. Your photos show that clearly on the connectors marked for use with ASUS mobos. It happens that the case makers decided to use that connector type for their own internal wiring from the case's controller in top front to the Splitter that can power three RGB units. So yes, connect the cable coming from the top front interior of the case to that Splitter.Each fan also has a separate cable ending, you say, in a 3-pin fan connector (female with 3 holes) about 3/8' wide and with two ridges running down one side.

Technology iray, which has become another important milestone in the rendering of the revolution, allows computer artists to compose a scene, and only one team to get photo-realistic computer graphics. Integrated into 3ds Max iray rendering technology greatly simplifies the process of creating realistic images. 3d studio max 2011 release.

You say all three are connected to an adapter/splitter that allows you to power all fans from a single 4-pin Molex power output from the PSU. That WILL get good cooling, BUT you will have no control of the fans - they will always run full speed. As an alternative, you can connect them to mobo CHAFAN headers which can continuously and automatically adjust the fan speeds according to measured temperatures inside your case, and this will cause less noise. To do this you will need a fan SPLITTER because you have three such fans, and only two mobo CHAFAN headers. This simple 2-output Splitter (or one like it) would help thator this 3-output one can allow you to connect all three fans to a single CHAFAN header if that makes wiring routing easier.Both of those Splitters are of the 4-pin design, but WILL work just fine also for 3-pin fans. However, assuming the fans really ARE 3-pin type, you will need to make a small adjustment in BIOS Setup for EACH of the CHAFAN headers you use.

See your mobo manual on p. For each CHAFAN header, choose the header on the left list, and then change its configuration at top right to use the DC Mode instead of PWM Mode. When done, back out and remember to SAVE and EXIT so your new settings are saved. This configuration is the only way to control the speed of older-design 3-pin fans.
