Riptide: fan vs water pump fan connectors

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I've got a Z790 Riptide board and I'm trying to figure out where to plug in all of the different fans and my water cooler and I could use a hand. I'm almost certainly overthinking this, but I'd rather ask and learn than screw it up.

I've got a Kraken Elite 360 water cooler with a single 3-pin connector. I think that this should connect to CPU_FAN2/WP? Is there a difference between this and CPU_FAN1?

Then there are six chassis fans and I'm not totally sure where to plug them all in. Is there a difference between the CHA_FANx/WP connectors and the CHA_FAN5 connector? Does the "/WP" part matter for fans that aren't attached to the radiator?

At the moment, I've got three of the chassis fans (front) grouped together and plugged into CHA_FAN3/WP and then I was going to plug the one on the back into CHA_FAN1/WP and the two on the bottom into CHA_FAN4/WP and CHA_FAN5.

I know this is probably pretty basic relative to the typical questions on this forum. The manual gave me a pretty good idea of what everything on the motherboard is if I already know what I'm doing, but I'm not quite there yet. Thanks in advance!
