Thanks for the reply..I've overclocked my Ryzen 1600 to 3.95 @ 1.375 V and at load in it reaches around 64 C..not too happy with that.. hoping to do better..I'm gonna try and change the cables to follow yours and hope it makes a difference..thanks again

For what it's worth, here is where I've landed with the CLC 280/Flow Control on my new rig build:
 
Quick specs rundown:
Asus X370 Strix
Ryzen 1700x @ 3.9 (very slight voltage bump)
G.Skill Trident Z 3200
1080 Ti FTW3 Hybrid
Phanteks Enthoo Pro M
850 P2 PSU
 
At this point, I have abandoned trying to use Flow Control to manage my fan speeds.  Due to the fact that the current version (2.0.3) does not read CPU temp on Ryzen, it causes hangs/crashes when you try to do anything related to CPU temp in the app (change LED color based on temp for example).   While the fans are interesting design wise, I found them to be really loud when allowing flow control to manage the speed.  Even when dropped down to the minimum in the software, they were much louder than I prefer and the 'sound signature' I found to be unpleasant (subjective, of course).
 
In the end, I removed the fans and went with a pull config using two Noctua industrial NF-A14's and am allowing the motherboard to manage the fans via the CPU Fan and Opt Fan headers (they are synced which is nice).    I still have Flow Control running since it does show the coolant temp and pump speed, and the coolant sticks around 28 C idle and the setup is very quiet.
 
I can mostly control the LED with FC, however syncing with graphics card has never worked (Running Precision XOC 6.1.14) so I just set it to red for now.
 
I am hopeful that EVGA will work out the kinks in FC, it is a software package in its infancy and as a software engineer I certainly understand that working out the kinks takes time.  I do like the idea of allowing the CLC to manage all aspects of the CPU 'cooling system'; makes a lot of sense and I greatly prefer the interface of Flow Control/Precision to Asus's "Dual Intelligent Processors 5".  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 




Thanks, TomSawyer2112, for the response! I do appreciate it :) I'm using an i7-6700K, so I don't have the same Ryzen issue as you, but I'm considering uninstalling the Flow Control Software completely and seeing if that helps. I might get a pair of Corsair ML 140s and use those instead.
 
My Quick Specs:
Quick specs rundown:
 
MSI Z170A M5 Motherboard
i7-6700k @ 4.5 (1.305 Volts) -- using IC Diamond paste
4x 8 GB ADATA XPGZ DDR4 2400 Memory (32 gb total)
EVGA GTX 980 ACX 2.0
Thermaltake Chaser MK-1
Corsair RM1000
 
 
Edit: For those wondering, after uninstalling the Flow Control Application with Revo Uninstaller Pro and cleaning up any remains with CCleaner/Disk Cleanup, the fans do sound a bit quieter-- but not silent.

What screw size do I need to add 2 120mm fans on the other side of the CLC 240?  I will have fans on both sides of the radiator. The screws will have to be long enough to mount the entire unit to the front of my case. Thanks.

Hi all,
I have the CLC 280 installed on an Asus Z270e board.  I noticed while running Prime95, the fan never goes above 1200rpm despite what is set in the fan curve.  The fans do speed up if I use the vertical slider, but again, it doesn't respect the fan curve.  Considering the locked 100% fan speed at 60c, the fans should've been going full rpm and loud during P95 stress test.  Just to note, I have the CLC plugged in to a connector labeled AIO_PUMP on the motherboard.  Any suggestions is appreciated.

Installed a 120 with two corsair fans in a push-pull intake configuration. All fit well into the Rosewell Stealth case and MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon motherboard. The cooler has lowered temps under every circumstance so far. I am absolutely delighted. Now to play with the Flow Control Software.
EVGA, thank you for the cool new toy!

Man it's been forever since the last update on this software and it never feels like it's left beta.... Kind of sad to see this level of support

Yeah I'm trying to be patient, always a challenge.  I really feel like once they get the CPU temp monitoring working for Ryzen (in my case) all will be well.  Time will tell...
 
I feel like I've had to compromise on both of my EVGA products lately and come up with workarounds... my 1080 Ti FTW3 Hybrid ended up being (in my option) lackluster in regards to the fan and how it is controlled by the GPU.  I guess it's not the end of the world just using Asus to control it all, but would have liked to see the cooling part on both of these products a little more robust.

Question for AM4 motherboard users with an EVGA liquid cooler and Flow Control installed
 
Does the Flow Control show your CPU temperature?

Thanks Miklet, I appreciate that!  I am definitely thrilled with the build and I'm sure things will get sorted out with the software.  Fortunately, my 'workarounds' are really not a bad way to go anyway, many would say letting the MB control the rad fans is a good thing, and my thermistor solution for the Hybrid is working remarkably well.  As far as CPU temp, no I see only 0c in FC, does not register.
 
I forgot to post a few pics as I mentioned I would.   The only big change from these pics is the addition of 2x Noctua iPPC 2000's on the Hybrid rad in the back.

TomSawyer2112,
 
HAH, the Rush connection to your EVGA handle just sunk it. Wonderful flashback to a hot summer day at a Rush concert held East Troy, Wisconsin. It was a great day, but, that's all I cab remember. hahahah!
 
Thank you for posting pictures of the build. The equipment is phenomenal, and the cable/hose routing is clean and does not obscure the visibility of the components. Well done todays Tom Sawyer!
 
Question: do you think the MSI Gaming Program/MSI Command Center/Corsair Link, which all have fan controls, may conflict or hamper the performance of the EVGA Flow Control program when all are active?
 
Wondering is any AM4 boards work with Flow Control, not just our two examples.
 
Enjoy your awesome equipment and everyday above ground!

I've completely given up using the flow control software on any AM4 platform. I've tested it on a Strix B350-F, an X370-F, and just today I hooked it to my Crosshair VI Hero. No CPU temps, no fan speed control, nothing. On any of the boards. It is terrible. The cooler itself is fantastic though, keeps things nice and frosty. But for god sake please, please hire someone to fix that abysmal software.

Re: EVGA CLC 120/280 Liquid CPU Coolers 2017/09/06 11:20:26 (permalink)
  I've enjoyed many a Rush concert, that's for sure.  
 
Thanks!  This has definitely been my favorite build of the many, many builds that I've had since my first PC, a Pentium 75 on a janky biostar motherboard.  Yes that dates me, but being an Amiga Head before that really does the trick!  
 
I am still flirting with the idea of trying a custom loop, but the CLC's do offer a nice peace of mind element.
 
Hearkening back to the days of only having 4 MB of memory, I've always been of the mind to have as little running in the background as possible.  Silly with 8 cores, 16 threads and 16 Gb of memory, but still... at the least I would think they run risk of interfering with each other as they are all polling the sensor interface at one time more or less.  With them all offering fan control I'm sure it would cause issues if two apps were trying to control the same fan/device at the same time.
 
Good question... my guess is that FC is looking specifically for a standard package or core temp reading from the CPU and that would be presented/passed through on any board.  I'm sure FC just needs to be updated to be 'Ryzen aware' and look at the right value (compensating for the offset temp of course).  
 
You too, and nice rig in your signature as well!  I was so close to picking up the Carbon but decided to stick with Asus (my son has a Z97 MSI board and it is great).

Flow control software is in serious need of updating EVGA. Get your act together! I am a huge advocate for evga products and the program in its current state (buggy and not very functional,) is not acceptable. You need to become the first company with a great software solution for your liquid cooling products and everyone will flock to your products.
 
Love: a loyal customer.

Did you press the "Apply" button ?  it looks like it is ready to be selected in your picture




Hi all,
 
Same problem as this guy in a Maximus Hero VIII. I have a CLC280 for a few months. I'm happy with it, although the software is not perfect, does its job fine, until now...
This Sunday I decided to update the bios and many drivers since they were complete obsolete. Since then, I can not get the fans RPM adjust to the temperature of the CPU. I've tried everything, apply button, new profile, select DC or PWM mode in bios, even old versions of Flow Control (2.01 and 2.02) it just seems that the program does not recognize the CPU temperature correctly.
 
This morning I saw something in HWMonitor which has surprised me and may perhaps explain the failure, the CPUTIN(MB sensor) temperature (35ºC) is much lower than SYSTIN (CPU sensor, 59ºC) under stress test, as you can see in the screen capture
 

 
may be this value induce the system to not recognize the correct processor temperature? I do not know what else to try :(
 
update: discarded that the CPUTIN value is the cause, the fans also do not respond to a graph adjusted to their temperatures. maybe a usb port problem? I do not know what else to do...

That's a shame;  I can almost understand why it would be less than perfect on Ryzen platform/chipsets with it being still fairly new, but not working perfectly on an Intel setup tells me the software (or perhaps firmware of the unit) has issues to be worked out.
 
As many others have stated, I have given up on FC doing anything with the unit other than showing pump RPM, coolant temperature and setting the color of the RGB LED.   My fans are plugged into CPU and CPU_OPT and are controlled perfectly based on CPU temps via AI Suite 3.

Re: EVGA CLC 120/280 Liquid CPU Coolers 2017/09/19 10:27:04 (permalink)
Dear sir,
 
5 months after the installation of my CLC120 I am happy with these performances (57 ° C in full with a I7 4770k OC 4.3Ghz)
 
but I am really very upset of softaware EGA FLOW CONTROL (V2.0.3.0).
 
Let me explain:
1)Every time I start the PC, I have to systematically click on the blue AutoFan button, otherwise the fan stays full or idle, which is very dangerous when the CPU rises.
 
2)The custom curve never run so I'm still on the curve by default = 1020rpm in idle and 1800rpm in full (very noisy)
Only response from EVGA customer service: uninstall and reinstall the software which had no effect
 
Even when creating profiles, as read on another forum, nothing does, the custom curve does not work
 
Therefore, it would be urgent that the engineers of EVGA returns from vacancy and make an update of their software EVGA FLOW CONTROL V2.0.3.0

No joy here, still no CPU temperature registered.  Ryzen X370 chipset (board in sig), no other monitoring apps running (besides Precision for GFX).

Hi all,
I have the CLC 280 installed on an Asus Z270e board.  I noticed while running Prime95, the fan never goes above 1200rpm despite what is set in the fan curve.  The fans do speed up if I use the vertical slider, but again, it doesn't respect the fan curve.  Considering the locked 100% fan speed at 60c, the fans should've been going full rpm and loud during P95 stress test.  Just to note, I have the CLC plugged in to a connector labeled AIO_PUMP on the motherboard.  Any suggestions is appreciated.
 
Here's a shot of Flow Control during P95 stress test: 



I have the same motherboard and cooler and am having issues with flow control seeing my fan speed. It doesn’t register at all. I currently have the usb 2 plugged in and the clc 280 plugged into the mobos main cpu fan header. I attempted plugging it into the aio specific header but then the mobile didn’t think I had a cpu fan. Do I need to plug into the AIO header on the z270e and then skip the Y adapter for the fans and plug those directly into the cpu header 1 and 2 spots on the z270e? Per your screenshots its working for you and so I bought I’d ask and find out. Any information you or others can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Same as above Neal and Tom!
Still no change for Fan speed too loud on Auto!! So I still use auto off running so quiet from version 2.0.0.1 to 2.0.0.4!!!!!
I don't understand the fan curve haven't change to 100% at 60c that we don't need 100% speed on 60c that because too loud fan like helicopter!!!! Can you change the fan speed 100% at maybe 85c or 90c then can help fan more quieter!!!

 Same note
For me the solution is block the fan a 1800rpm, after is a helicopter
 
 
1) At the same time, in game , the fan makes 1800 rpm in default and 2200rpm with customized curve less aggressive  at  57 ° C EVGA FLO CONTROL
 
2) At the same time, in game : 57 ° C EVGA FLO CONTROL only 52 ° C on AI Suite 3.    ....  ???
 
 

 
Next version 5 in December ????
 
NB: I joined two screens on the stress test with EVGA CPU Burner to prove my test: first curve by default, second custom curve normally less aggressive

Never know... but I'm not too upset about this, my MB is managing the fans fine and this motivates me to move forward on my custom loop build.

Hello Everyone,
I recently purchased the EVGA 280 CLC based off reviews I've seen via YouTube and posts made here on this forum. However, after installation yesterday and playing with configurations last night.. I'm having a few issues adjusting my fan speeds and pump speeds. 
I have not installed the software as I haven't seen anyone having the best of luck on it either. So I'm trying the manual approach. I instead plugged the header labeled "Motherboard" into my CPU_PUMP and am using the Y-Splitter on the pump to plug the fans directly into.
After booting into BIOS, I can change the fans to PWM,DC,AUTO and create a custom curve, but they're limited to 7.2V and won't increase the RPM higher than 1600 at max limits here. And the Pump I believe is limited to the same Voltage and limits my speed below advertised speeds (posting from work so unable to verify currently). Is anyone else having these same issues? Or know how to fix both Fan and Pump Speed/Voltage? 
I've considered disconnecting the fans from the Y-Splitter and plugging directly into my motherboards SYS_FAN 1-4 slots but they're out of the fans reach, so i'd need to get an extension. But how would that fix the Pump limit issue?

EVGA GTX 1060 6GB SC

i am pissed off. ive had this computer built for months now and none of the software works.... i paid a premium price for the 280 clc and its thrown in your lap with (Deleted for Foul Language) instructions. then when you spend your time trying to figure it all out after installing all the crappy software there is no working solution. AND the gpu is NOT recognized in the bios either. this is UNACCEPTABLE.

* Where do you have the pump plugged into on your motherboard?
* Are you sure you plugged both fans into the Y splitter (if you don't, the fan speed won't register - easy to miss)
* Do you have any other software running that is monitoring fan speed? Some can interfere/same for BIOS options
