I just got my awesome looking cooler from Amazon today, and installed it. Where is the Flow Control Software? Please see the copy and paste of your product description on Amazon. .. and yes EVGA is the seller.
"Product Description
Size:280mm
The EVGA CLC 280 LIQUID CPU Cooler has arrived! This new liquid cooler from EVGA gives you incredible performance, low noise, and robust software controls. The full copper water block pulls the heat from your CPU to the radiator, where newly designed fans, featuring Teflon Nano Bearings, effortlessly disperse the heat. The CLC 280 offers premium sleeved tubing and fully controlled RGB LED to provide a sleek look. Monitor and control the CLC 280 with the new EVGA Flow Control software, which allows you to monitor and change pump speed, fan curve, and RGB LED! With the CLC and EVGA Flow Control, take back control of your temperatures and peace of mind."
It would be nice to link my RGB LED's to my EVGA GTX 1080 FTW and adjust my pump and fan speed to spec.

Hello SARDOG, I regret to tell you we have not currently released the Flow Control software. EVGA_JacobF will be releasing a beta version soon as far as I've been told.

Thanks for the reply, I hope the software slows the fan speed down, even near idle its the loudest cooler I've ever owned. my stock 7700k is hitting 70+c @100% load. I hope the Flow Control Software can fix this... or it's getting returned to Amazon.

Just popping in here to say that I'm pretty upset that there's now Flow Control software yet, as well. Luckily I had Low-Noise Adapters for the fans, but without those I'd have been out of luck as my motherboard doesn't have any PWM functionality. That was one of the major draws to this pump, the fact that it has it's own controllable PWM for the fans.

Welcome to the Forum mattinm Can you post an image of how you setup your cooler?

 I used 2x Noctua NA-SRC7 low-noise adapters to lower the fan speed and keeps them at a tolerable level (before they were running at full speed). Just plugged them into the 2x PWM fan connectors coming off the pump. For the pump, I plugged the USB cable into an open header on my motherboard and the 3-pin pump plug into the CPU header on my motherboard. Went into BIOS and set the CPU to not be regulated (100% speed) and was expecting the Flow Control Software to be available yesterday so I could set my own pump and fan curves. Without it, I've had to get creative, but I'd say the product is definitely incomplete without the software as the on-board firmware is overly aggressive; shipping with a better default curve would probably have been more prudent.

Why did you expect the "Flow Control Software to be available yesterday" Software Yesterday? How is the Cooler Installed? What Motherboard? What CPU? Did you use their TIM or put your own on? I wonder if Corsair Link would work until EVGA releases their Software. Your Motherboard has NO FAN Headers 3-Pin or 4-Pin. You can connect the 4-Pin Fans to the 3-Pin Fan Header. Are you running the Fans as Push/Pull and are they set for Intake or Exhaust?

How is the performance otherwise?

Any update on the Flow Control Software? I just installed my CLC 280mm and the fan noise is unbearable as well as the pump noise. I really need to be able to control these things before I take a hammer to my system. My nerves can't take it...

With the Radiator Tubes on the Bottom I here No Pump noise unless I put my ear on the pump. Did you bleed it before you installed it? No so much out of the unit but out of the Pump into the Radiator. It took about 5 seconds for mine.

I had it running all night and the noise is still there. I did dislodge most air bubbles from the radiator but not sure what you mean to bleed pump on an AIO, could you elaborate please?

You want Air Bubbles out of the Pump and into the Top of Radiator. I powered mine up outside of the computer or that is not Mounted yet to the CPU.

Hold the Pump in your hand and rotate the Radiator Hose UP and around until the Pump only mums along and the Tubing on the Radiator is at the Bottom.
Keep the Pump Lower or Below the Radiator, above only to help bleed.

Having conflicts between EVGA Flow Control 2.0.2 version and SetPoint Settings from Logitech for my Performance Mouse MX. Anyone else seen or heard of a solution?
Thank you all for you help.

the pump is super quiet on mine CLC280. but my flow control doesn't adjust fan speed accordingly to the CPU temp AND no CPU temp is shown.
probably AM4 problem, but EVGA needs to talk to AMD about reading CPU temp. I guess for all Ryzen users... we have to manually adjust fan speed and pump speed. :(
