So hopefully this works.Īrray davemon50 PC Specs davemon50 PC SpecsĪsus G752VY-DH72 (17') and Asus G752VT-DH74 (17')Īsus ROG LGA2011-v3 Rampage V Edition 10, x99 EATX Apparently DC fans will always run 100% all the time, which isn't ideal.

Thanks for all your help! I don't want to have to buy more fans but from what I've heard I also need to plug them into the motherboard if I want to be able to have them slow down/speed up based on the need, because those fan hubs only work like that with PWM fans. If I do plug in a normal-amp DC fan to the H_AMP_FAN connector, do I need to disable Q-Fan? Will it still manage fan speeds to a certain extant? Can I use a normal-amp DC (3-pin) case fan with the H_)AMP_FAN connector?Ģ. I'm confused about what it means by 'disable it' - is it a PWM-only feature or is it only higher-amp DC fans that run into problems with q-fan?ġ. 'For better Q-Fan functions, we recommend using 4-pin PWM fans when you connect powerful fans (1A or above) onto the H_AMP_FAN connector.Įnsure to disable Q-Fan functions if you want to connect powerful 3-pin DC fans (1A or above_ onto the H_AMP_FAN connector.'įrom what I understand, Q-Fan is a feature which lets you optimize fan speeds (I'm a little unsure of how it interacts with FanXpert which is also on this board). Second, when the manual discusses this connector, it says this: To my understanding, while the H_AMP_FAN connector CAN output more amps, the amount of power used will still be determined by what you are plugging into it.

However, I wanted to confirm a couple of things.įirst, even though many say it is fine to plug in a normal-amp 3-pin fan into the H_AMP_FAN connector, there isn't any direct mention that it is ok in the mobo's manual, so because of that I wanted to ask you guys. After doing some googling it seems like it's fine to just plug one of the case fans into that connector and use it as a normal case fan connector. However, it does have the H_AMP_FAN connector.

However, the z270e only has 2 CHA_FAN connectors. This case comes with 3 3-pin case fans which I'd like to use. Hi everyone! I'm getting ready to build my first PC in the next week.
