I would like all the Case Fans to be controlled by the hottest of both CPU and GPU, but AFAIK that isn’t a thing yet (at least in iCUE), which is unfortunate. The only thing I don’t know if it will work is if iCUE will be able to detect the CPU temperature when it’s running in a KVM - I cannot test just yet as I’m still waiting on most of my watercooling and (more importantly) my CPU to arrive - I could run 4x Case Fans using 2x headers with PWM splitters, but I’d rather not. This would allow me to connect each fan to a dedicated fan header and monitor the RPM of each fan, rather than use any PWM fan splitters which would discard the data from one fan per splitter. My thinking is to use the Linux kernel driver for the Commander Pro (introduced in 5.9 apparently) to interface with fancontrol and run the 4x case fans with the CPU, as the GPU will be idle, and then when the KVM is running (in Windows) use iCUE to run 2x case fans with the GPU and 2x with the CPU.

CPU fan header: Alphacool flow indicator (has the added bonus of removes chance of “no CPU fan” error' and will cause issues if there is no flow).

2x RGB 5V headers (up to 4x strips each) (OpenRGB compatible)ġx Alphacool ES flow and temperature indicator “HighFlow” with RPM-Signalġx EK-Quantum Inertia D5 PWM D-RGB (23W / 1.9A current plan is to connect:.6x Fan Header each, the D5 pump is SATA power and other people don’t have issues).I have also just bought a Corsair Commander Pro which has (but could return if there’s a better option): 1x CPU Header (2A 1x AIO/Pump Header (2A 2x Mystic Light RGB 5V headers (might be OpenRGB compatible, the GitLab Readme says it isn’t, but the website says it is…).I am running Windows-on-Linux via KVM with hardware passthrough, and am wondering what the best way to connect all my fans (preferably natively) that would allow control of case fans from CPU, and when the KVM is running from both the CPU and KVM’s GPU.
