Out the rear. So the 2 fans sandwich the |
| 7 |
radiator and aim outward? |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Also, the cpu/cooler backing supplied by Gigabyte |
| 10 |
fits well with the top bracket supplied by |
| 11 |
the cooler kit, so I'm using that in lieu |
| 12 |
of the cheap plastic back supplied with |
| 13 |
the cooler (OK?) |

The mobo has (4) fan terminals :(1) 3 wire (sysfan2) |
| 25 |
(3) four wire sysfan1, CPUfan, pwrfan. |
| 26 |
This is a dual bios system. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Do both fans that sandwich the radiator run |
| 29 |
at the same setting? The kit came with a "Y" so both can connected to |
| 30 |
the same 4 pin (Y) connector. The chassis fan has a 3 pin |
| 31 |
connector, but the slots do fit in the (Y) harness |
| 32 |
correctly. The (Y) is wired for all 4 pins. So |
| 33 |
will there be a separate BIOS setting (control) for the rear |
| 34 |
fan, different than the fan to the inside of the |
| 35 |
radiator? If so, what settings do I set each fan to? |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
It seems I have plenty of fan power/control terminals, |
| 39 |
but the mobo install book gives no guidance as to which, where.... |
| 40 |
The chassis has a large fan (sysfan1 ?) for the drives, as well as the rear |
| 41 |
chassis fan(sysfan2 ?). |
| 42 |

Once I get Gentoo installed, what's the best software to monitor |
| 45 |
this cooler rig and set alarms? Auto shutoff if it overheats? |
| 46 |
(I run the system when I'm not around quite a bit)... |
| 47 |
I'd really like to know if one fan fails the other one is |
| 48 |
still working so guidance is appreciated, or just some |
| 49 |
discussion on how all of this should work. |
| 50 |
I'm presuming all of this is in the BIOS? |
