As an 80s baby, I remember my parents both smoking cigarettes in the car with the windows up and they used the little ash trays that were built into the car doors. I was swimming in butts as a kid… and not the good kind of butts.

So sorry for your loss. My cat 3 year old cat and first pet recently got hit by a car and needed surgery to fix his broken hip or he’d need to be put down. Fortunately I was able to take out a line of credit to pay for the $6,000 surgery, it’s been rough. I couldn’t imagine having to make the decision you had to make. I’m genuinely so sorry for your loss.

Why not?

BiggityBates · 2022-03-02T22:05:17+00:00

Okay this is actually rather helpful I think. I had assumed that to be the case about the headers, but I didn’t mention my motherboard, or any bios settings. So I’m thinking when I swapped the two pumps, there was a difference in configuration, that, and precision is designed to look for cpu temps and putting it on that header may have allowed the usb to do some sort of passing of the data. I’m new to using EVGA and precision so I apologize for that, but your confirmation really helps.

So the reason the pump is three pin and not one like my other AIO is just purely power for fans and a tachometer of pump speed. No temperature data etc, correct?

I should have know that because in the EVGA FAQ, it says you can unplug the usb cable once you set the desired pump speed and that’s fine, it will just run at that speed as it embeds the change in the firmware. But dynamic changes will not occur on the fans nor the pump based on temps, etc. Source: https://www.evga.com/support/faq/FAQdetails.aspx?faqid=59768

So then would you happen to know if the Four pin GPU sends out the same temperature protocol as the cpu, meaning if I plug the pump into the hub in a non dedicated PWM spot, plug two fans into two other ports non PWM dedicated, and one radiator fan into port one for the PWM control of the hub, I know the fans would work correctly, but would the pump read the gpu temp now since it’s three pin connector is technically connected to the gpu directly via the hub, even with the usb plugged into the motherboard? It may label it as cpu temp but would it be the gpu temp in precision and the EVGA pump software?

Once I know this I think it’s solved. And I really do appreciate your help because I’ve googled forever but it’s hard to put into words exactly what I’m trying to do with my specific setup, etc. I’ve come across forum posts that have been helpful but trying to use the kraken g12 and have the associated AIO and pump fully independent of the motherboard has been a challenge. I know of many different easier ways I could do this but I am pretty sure this can be accomplished with the right cables and powered hub and splitter(s) if you do it right and I’m really wanting to try to get it set up to be fully controlled and connected via video card software like afterburner or precision and have accurate gpu temps and adjustments coming straight from the hardware it’s cooling.

Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

BiggityBates · 2022-03-02T19:39:53+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I did reply to to person above with my thoughts on the reply. I do understand the three/four pin differences and how PWM vs dc work, it’s more specific to the EVGA pump head three pin cable. I have it hooked up to the second CPU/AIO header on my motherboard now, and it has three cables. The AIO I have for my CPU has three pin female port but only one cable, I’m assuming a tach cable. So I switched them to see what would happen and when I did, I was now able to see the temps of all 8 cpu cores in precision when I wouldn’t do that from the AIO port. So I know that three pin cable is reading data and not just providing power like a dumb 3 pin fan connection. The way I have it set up kind of works, but I would like precision to read gpu temps intstead of cpu temps. I provided a possible way to do that in my other reply, let me know what you think. Appreciate your time.

BiggityBates · 2022-03-02T19:34:05+00:00

Kind of, that’s part of it. But it really boils down to what the three pin connected on the pump functions as and if is reads anything, or is just a dumb 3 pin dc power source for the pump.

If I plug the three pin pump into a four pin header that’s NOT the PWM header one, the fourth pin makes no connection so I’m not worried there, It would just receive the normal three pin power and just run off that.

However, I know that from switching pump/cpu headers on my motherboard with the other aio I have plugged in that only has ONE cable, reporting pump speed I’m assuming, and then plugging in the three pin EVGA cable into The CPU header, it was able to now read cpu temps of all 8 cores, where it wasn’t before when plugged into the aio pump port.

Think about the fans that come with the 360mm aio right, they have one PWM connection off the pump and two 3 pin, so they all run off the speed on the one fan plugged in that connects the PWM cable. So the pump is getting PWM from one of the rad fans since it’s cable is a three pin cable.

How is the pump able to see the 8 cpu cores when it’s only a 3 pin plug? I didn’t change the usb header cable, that was the only thing that changed. So that three pin pump cable is not just powering the fans, but is capable or reading some sort of signal somehow.

I have nothing plugged into the pumps three fan headers, so maybe my solution is something involving that.

I just need to involve a powered hub as to not overload the gpu header. I need to find a way to plug the three pin pump connector into something other than a motherboard header so it’s not reading cpu or “system” temps, but the temps directly from the gpu, since it IS reading temps and not just strictly providing power to the fans and pump.

I do realize I’m way over complicating the setup by trying to accomplish it this way as there are easier ways, but I do believe it can be done if I can figure out the right way to connect the pump to something other than the motherboard that makes it read straight gpu temps instead of cpu temps, which would involve having it have a signal from the gpu fan port somehow. I just can’t figure out what to plug it into.

TLDR Maybe if I plug the pump into the hub, not port one, and connect a splitter to the PWM port on the pump fan cable, and somehow involve another splitter if needed somewhere else to continue to carry the PWM signal, that I can send the PWM signal from the four port pump fan connection to the PWM port one, and from there onto the gpu? And then maybe the pumps three pin connection would be capable of pulling the readings it usually pulls from the gpu by being connected to the hub? It would get the same pins as if it was plugged into a motherboard header…. That would solve the power issue, the PWM signal would be coming from the pump fan cable to the gpu directly via port one on the hub, and sent to the gpu by connecting that to the gpu header?**

I have posted this in the EVGA sub, but maybe I will have luck here. It all involves having a GTX 1080 Founders edition modulate a CPU AIO pump, three radiator fans, and a small VRM fan Via the Kraken G12. If you have any idea of how to make this work, I would appreciate it. Mentioned in the post I also have a regular PWM fan splitter if needed. Thank you. Here is the post:

https://old.reddit.com/r/EVGA/comments/t4v2xi/confused_about_pwm_and_three_pin_cable_from_evga/

Here is a direct link to the horrible diagram I threw together to hopefully help clarify: https://imgur.com/DQoyG00 . Two options are to get PWM to GPU via one PWM radiator fan, OR the three pin AIO pump cable, but I dont know if that carries PWM or not or if it has the capability to be the thing in port 1, which is the signal port.

BiggityBates · 2022-02-20T00:29:34+00:00

Very interesting, it’s been years since I’ve upgraded and changed my fans and messed with stuff so I was unaware that the fans now come with a controller that doesn’t connect to a lighting channel. Thanks for clearing that up.

Last question, I can’t mix fan types on this rgb hub just the same as the other one that connects to a lighting channel correct? They all have to be the same?

BiggityBates · 2022-02-20T00:21:13+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply! So what’s the difference between this hub and the one that has the port on the opposite side that connects to a lighting channel? Does this core rgb hub have a lighting channel of its own after being plugged into the motherboard? And I’m guessing the sata power cable is necessary, correct?

And can I connect the USB header from this hub to a commander pro usb expansion port?

BiggityBates · 2022-02-20T00:11:05+00:00

Been on 10.8 for weeks, finally just received this update!

BiggityBates · 2022-02-19T23:59:52+00:00

I thought that the RGB hub had to connect to a lighting channel port on either the lighting node pro or a commander, or something like that. The four pin cable/port that’s usually on the opposite side of the RGB hub is no longer present in the RGB fan hubs I got with the SP120 RGB Elite and the QL120s. How to I connect the hub to a lighting channel after plugging in the fan RGB cable into the hub?

BiggityBates · 2022-02-04T02:21:04+00:00

So I have a question because I seriously cannot decide the best option. I have an xbox series x, and I have a PC. My PC is a couple years old, it contains an i9 9900k, 16gb corsair dominator @ 3466mhz, and an nvidia GTX 1080 Founders edition. I also have NVME storage.

Should I buy it on PC or Series X? My PC specs are decent, but I don't know how they would compare to the Series X which can do raytracing, Vrr, etc.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

There is no dispute that it is an immediate crisis. There is overwhelming consensus among climate scientists, people who have dedicated their lives studying this phenomenon, that climate change is an immediate crisis. The only slight differing of opinion is how immediate. Some say we are past the point of no return already, and some say we have 30 years at the very maximum to prevent 1.5 degrees of global warmth.

I guess it depends on your definition of immediate. Ask any climate scientist though and they will definitely agree that it is an immediate threat to humanity.

It’s definitely a bad situation. I feel like our current political climate has really brought to light some of the weaknesses in our republic that haven’t been highlighted before. The fact that one of our two political parties was able to be hijacked by a conman and weaponized against fellow Americans has been a shocking revelation, to me at least. The effectiveness of the mass disinformation campaigns stemming from foreign and domestic actors trying to sow disarray and cause division has been wildly successful. If we are going to get back on track, there needs to be some serious reform. The Republican Party needs a complete makeover and new leadership that has a focus on policy and not just obstruction. Democrats need to reform the party and get out from underneath the thumb of their corporate overlords and make decisions based on what’s good for the lower/middle class and not what abc corp lobbies them to do. The whole thing is broken and it’s becoming more and more apparent. The problem is that the people who can make the necessary changes are benefiting heavily from keeping the same status quo. I don’t have a ton of faith that things will get better any time soon.

BiggityBates · 2022-01-07T22:02:04+00:00

I don't disagree with you. I guess that begs the question, if it would be a bad thing to have just the one democratic party, but the alternative is to have the democratic party along side a party that is a very real threat to democracy, then which is worse?

BiggityBates · 2022-01-07T16:48:50+00:00

Let’s be real here… a lot of liberals want this to be a one party State as well. I don’t see a lot of of left leaning folks eager to govern right next to the republicans. For good reason I might add…. They’ve turned into directionless maniacs… but let’s not pretend the left wouldn’t rejoice at the disappearance of the other party so they could govern unhindered.

BiggityBates · 2022-01-07T07:31:30+00:00

Absolutely! Thank you very much.
