Re: Precision X1 output correct PWM signal with no Tachometer signal

I tried both options and the second one seemed to mostly work, but it was a bit intermittent. Seemed like the hub fans would sit at lowest speed and not change. I wiggled the connector and they started following along with the fan directly plugged in. I thought "oh good it's working", put my side panel back on, and it stopped working.
Also, plugged in to aux fan connector on the gpu before trying my second sketch above and that did the same thing as before, full speed fans. I have read that it should have showed up as "fan 4", but no fan 4 showed up in px1, even after rebooting the computer. Does px1 need to be reinstalled to get this to work or could it actually just be a loose connection between the hub connector and two different fan headers? It always works fine when plugged into a motherboard header, so I'm not sure why it would be acting so weird on either gpu fan header.
I know the hub connector doesn't feed back a tach signal, so I'm guessing that would make the gpu not see that there's a "fan 4" connected, but I am only guessing. I came up with one other idea that doesn't require custom cables, but it will only work based on the specific way I've hooked my fans up (see mods rigs section post in signature lol). I can just run the evga fans on the "fan 1" splitter cable and the other two fans (which are quieter) on a different constant signal not controlled by px1. Not ideal, but it should be tolerable and still better than just running all the fans at ~65% forever regardless of load.
