Help needed with Speedfan setup for GA-Z77X-UP5 TH & Zalman CNPS20LQ

[nickweavers]

Hi,

I recently fitted a Zalman CNPS20LQ sealed unit CPU water cooling system to my GA-Z77X-UP5 TH/i7-3770k and started playing with Speedfan to control the pump/fans.

The Zalman fitting instructions say to wire the pump into the cpu_header and the fan into a convenient sys_fan header. I chose sys_fan3 being the closest.

My drive enclosure has a fan mounted on the front of it which I connected up to sys_fan1. All other fan headers are unconnected.

I have a couple of questions I was hoping someone here could answer for the GA-Z77X-UP5 TH:

1) can any one tell me the correlation between speedfans fan labels (Configure->Fans) and the boards fan headers cpu_fan, sys_fan1 through sys_fan4?

2) can any one tell me the correlation between speedfans temperature labels (Configure->Temperatures) - Temp1, Temp2 & Temp3 on the IT8728F/ISA, Temp1, Temp2 on ACPI/ISA and the actual sensors?

I don't know much about how the Pulse Width Modulation is achieved on a board, but looking under Speedfans Configure->Speeds there are what look like 3 programmable PWM's available. I imagine they are programmable since you can individually set the minimum and maximum values of their respective outputs duty cycles as percentages (see below):



Then there seem to be two places you can assign which sensors are used as inputs to these PWM's.
The first is under the Configure->Temperatures tab and the second is under the Configure->Fan Control tab.
So, this appears to mean we can generate 3 different PWM outputs based on selected temp sensors. But then I don't see any way of configuring which fan headers are controlled by which PWM's.

Are the PWM to fan header connections fixed, and if so how are they connected?

I may have worked all of this out wrong and if so, I'd be really grateful if someone could put me straight.

Many thanks,
Nick

I'd plug the cpu cooler pump directly to the power or into sysfan header 4 which if its like the ud5 is always 100%. Then plug the cpu cooler fan into the cpu fan header and then you will have independant control of the cpu fan control using speedfan.
