I just bought 2 new noctua fans to replace the stock fan on the radiator in order to decrease temperature.. and i just find out that those fans cannot be controlled with precision x1, am i missing something or it's normal? i just wasted money? cause they go 100% all the time and it's quite noisy
I guess the aux fan connector on the side of the card cannot control them neither..

Several of the cards if you go to a high performance/high rpm fan then PX1 will not control them properly if plugged into the original PCB connection. In most cases though they can be plugged into the external fan header on the card and they will then work properly in PX1.

Or just connect them to a fan controller or MB

thanks a lot so i guess i'll try to connect them to the side aux fan, they will still follow the temperature of the core right?

unfortunatly no, connecting them to the side aux fan it's the same, no control at all

I would say no to that, since its an external connection i don't believe there will be any temp monitoring to it at all, just better manual control in PX1.

True they can ONLY be manually controlled.. So what should i do? Connecting the the MB will not link them to GPU temp but to CPU temp
My only option is a fan controller? But connected to where? GPU?

What fans do you actually have? Does they have pwm control?
I used pair of noctua industrial (120mm 2000rpm pwm) with fan splitter and everything was fine except pump noise so I ended up controling fans via motherboard and sensor under backplate near gpu to report gpu temperature...

Really if it was me , i would just hook them to the external fan connection on the card and just set them manually at higher rpm for gaming or benchmarking and if just web browsing turn them down manually. If you want them controlled auto by the gpu temp then yeah you would have to have them hooked to the original connection somehow.

You could have the fan controlled by the CPU headers. The pump itself can run off any header that is giving 100% power but using the CPU header at least it can limit the speed based on CPU temp.

they are a pair of Noctua NF-F12 PWM.. I just tried again and it seems manual control doesn't work anymore lol

Just run them off a MB header as stated and give them a fixed speed. Find a happy medium for audibles and temps. Should work well.

edolamberto:
What is the specific product you are having problems with? What is your specific motherboard model?
I use an MSI motherboard auxiliary fan header to control my GPU's radiator fan speed; it's manually controlled through MSI's "Command Center" app. I went into the motherboard BIOS and set fan speeds for that auxiliary header to 100 percent, so I can just manually set my fan speeds at PC startup and adjust as needed through the app.
Most Noctua fan kits give you a splitter cable to facilitate connecting the fans to a motherboard auxiliary fan header. Suggest doing that instead of using the PX1 software. You can still monitor GPU temperature readings through the PX1 software. Of course, fan speeds won't be monitored through PX1, as the fans wouldn't be connected to the GPU card.
Just my two cents ... have fun!
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
