Hello, I have MAXIMUS VI EXTREME MB. It came with OC PANEL.

The OC panel has 4x "4pin FAN connections", and am interested if i can connect WATER COOLING PUMP to it?

My PUMP is rated as 3AMPs at 12VOLT

My PSU can handle this PUMP without any problem, but not sure about the panel.




I called the Asus support, but they had no idea.

I would not. The panel does draw its current from a sata power connector true but still I would not use it. I do not know by the way either.

have any info

the OCP kick in after over 3A for each group of fan headers, FAN1 + FAN2, FAN3 + FAN4
it requires rework but will void your warranty.

i had trouble understanding your comment can you please explain what do you mean?

If u need more than 3A and below 6A, use FAN2 and FAN3, leave FAN1 and FAN4 unpopulated

today i RMA-ed board to store, because of USB problems. As soon as am going to get new MB am going to connect my pump to OC panel, and fans from water cooling to MB. This way I will be able to control pump manually and fans will be managed automatically.

thank you for your valuable information.
