I think I have this right, just looking for someone to check me.
Finally replacing the core of the 7 year old Sig warhorse. Just ordered the parts - so no coaching on that...
Gear: https://secure.newegg.com/Wishlist/PublicWishlistDetail?ID=4265155
(plus crucial 960 GB SSD, Seasonic X850 PSU, re-using the sig 980Ti)
The Strix X370-F has 7 fan/pump headers (page 1-15 at http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb...8_ROG_STRIX_X370-F_GAMING_UM_WEB_20170512.pdf )
Is the following fan plan the right one?
Fractal AIO -> AIO header (controls the two AIO pump fans which are exhaust fans)
Bottom 3 case intake fans -> CHA_FAN1, CHA_FAN2, CHA_FAN3
Rear case exhaust fan -> CPU_OPT fan
Hoping to be able to set the bottom intake fans higher than the typical exhaust fan (rear case and AIO fans) speed such that most of the time it's a positive pressure case to make max use of the lower dust filter. Yes, I know using the AIO as exhaust fans pushing air through the rad is not the most efficient cooling for the radiator, but I'm not looking for record overclocking, just close to 1700X rated speeds, and this should be good enough for that.
RGB plan:
3 frames and 1 led strip for lower RGB header
3 frames and 1 led strip for upper RGB header (note - second LED adapter cable bought via amazon since I forgot to add it to the wishlist)
Amperage is not clear for frames, but they have 18 LEDs, and the 21 LED strips have an amperage of .42 A. Assuming a linear amperage based on number of LEDs (0.02 A/LED from strip info) it looks like I have 1.5 A of power into a header capable of supporting 2A of power (page 1-17)
Does this all seem kosher?
