Title: Help: Asus Z87 delux/quad - USB 3
Post by: sanmiguel99 on April 21, 2014, 02:08:55 PM

Guys, I have a Asus Z87 and a Inet I7 and Intel water-cooling. No case Fan installed on Mainboard. The asus AI suit makes the fan running fullspeed although the Processor is on 28C.
Next thing is the USB 3. I have a HD-Station hanging on USB3 (Fantec QB-X8US3) with 8 harddisks und USB 3)

The maximum speed copying files from  intern HD to Fantec via USB 3 I get is: 25,3 MB/sec.

Help please!!

A reference states:
USB 2.0 Max is p to 35 MB/s or 280 Mbit/s
USB 3.0 Max is up to 4 Gbit/s 500 MB/s
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB
Or put another way, The new USB standard and do up to 14 times faster. However, both standards ware variable speed interfaces. They can adjust to the need of the device. No hard drive is able to do the top speed of either.

What do you mean about your case fan?  Generally the fan on your liquid cooler's radiator should be connected to the CPU fan header and the pump to a regular case fan header or directly to the power supply.

Which cable is connected to the CPU fan header?  Make sure it is the liquid cooler's fan and not the pump.

This is not normal, is it?
