This is something for people who DON'T want to deshroud. If the fans that come with the gpu cool just fine, but the only issue is that you are stuck with 30% as the lowest non zero fan %, and that 30% translates to 1000 RPM, this cable is a quick solution to gain access to that 500-700-800 RPM...

Oh, the 4070 tuf is 300mm long, while the 4080 super is 350mm. The original fans on the 4070 tuf appear to be 90mm, 4080 tuf might be 110mm. It all depends on how big the radiator is. I suspect 3x9 noctuas would do better on the 4080 super than 2x12.

@RaptorTP, do you have the 4080 tuf super? 2x120mm fans leave a chunk of the radiator exposed, so cooling potential is wasted. I would go with 3xNF-A9x14, or 3xNF-A9, if width is not an issue.

Late february i wrote an email to gpuconnect asking about what i want to to. The guy there got the 7 pin male connector and built it for me. Here it is, working fine. Only one fan reporting rpm, all 3 share the same pwm signal. Simple.

I was thinking about a standard 4 pin pwm extension. The pinout on the 7 pin asus starts the same as the 4 pin. PWM, RPM, voltage, ground. If the spacing fits, a 4 pin male could work in the first 4 holes of the asus 7 pin female, after some plastic is removed. Another extension could be used...

How would you connect the 7 pin asus fans? They are female, so is the deshroud adapter. No, here is how the pinout looks like. Only 6/7 pins are used. Only one +12V and one ground pins. All fans share voltage and ground. Asus cards with 3 fans have one fan with it's own pwm control and rpm...

You lose the Fan Stop feature on the 4000 series asus cards if you go with a custom curve in afterburner, argus monitor of fancontrol. Can't adjust when the fans start, when they stop. If you go custom curve, the fans will not turn off, you are stuck with 30% as the lowest speed. One solution...

So in reality this is a ~1100-4200 RPM pump. Why present it as "800–2800rpm (PWM controlled)"?

A user would look at any monitoring software and see ~4300rpm at 100%? Something is not right. remekra, what are you reading when you set the pump at 100% and other various speeds?

What's that pump readout thing?

I can confirm without having this aio. Just google "pwm fan pinout" and you can see arctic has the pwm control and rpm read on the fan headers with only 2/4 wires connected . My first post on this thread was misleading, i hope i corrected myself with clear pictures.

I was completely wrong. If we look at the product page, they put the picture with the splitter wires. https://www.arctic.de/en/Liquid-Freezer-III-240-A-RGB/ACFRE00142A All 3 moving things, Fans, Pump, VRM get power from the connector with all 4 wires. Then the two connectors with 2 wires...

The motherboard doesn't need rpm readings to set a speed %. It does it blindly. For the headers you would have the vrm and fans connected to, you set a temp based curve in bios or with some windows tool. At so and so temp, fans are at whatever %. The fact that you don't get rpm feedback doesn't...

All 3 run at the same % without the splitter. It's not optimal. Each spinning thing, pump, vrm, fans should have separate controls and rpm readings. Fans cables inside the sleeve is also an unnecessary thing that adds an ugly bulge to the tubes. Just have them behind the motherboard, hidden...
