Aurora R11, Corsair H60, pump to CPU fan
Basically, I installed a Corsair H60 to replace my stock air cooling. Initially, I had the pump connected to the pump connector. With this I got an error on startup that my cpu fan wasn’t detected. Which makes sense because I didn’t have one due to liquid cooling. My temps were fine just the error on start up. I looked around and people said they connected the pump to the cpu fan. I tried this, no error and temps are fine. Is this ok? Will I have any issues or anything?

AWCC showing normal temps means its fine.

So the pump being connected to the cpu fan won’t affect anything?

======================
Install CPUID's HW-Monitor and let us know.
Use a benchmark, Prime95, or OCCT to test.

Not sure why my auto correct wants to bring religion into this...

Did anything ever come of this? I am in the same situation.
My options are to either religion everything in correctly (pump to pump fan) and get an error saying there is not CPU fan, which is true.
Or I plug my pump into CPU fan which clears the error, thermals seem to be fine. When im in AWCC it tells me CPU fan is running at 90% speed. I dont want AWCC to affect the pump. Does anyone know if it will be problematic?

Could this be because OP is using the fan that came with H60, instead of the more compatible fan Corsair ML120 Pro?

I actually am using the corsair ml120 pro but its connected to top fan as thats where it is. When I tried connecting tnat to cpu fan it also tripped the error.
The problem is I don't have anything in CPU fan but dell system wants there to be something there.
When I connect the pump to CPU fan I get no error but im just worried that the PC will register the pump as a fan and try to control it and mess it up.

Which corsair h60 do you have? The current h60 (2018 gen) is powered direct via the psu, only the tach signal wire goes to the motherboard cpu or pump fan header. In other words in this scenario you're good because there is no way for you or the pc to change that 90% rpm.
The older corsair h60 is a 3 pin 3 wire connection which can only be controlled by voltage regulation, which isn't user adjustable in the bios or awcc.

It is in fact the H60 2018 version as far as I can tell.
That should solve my problem then! Totally explains why it stays at 90% fan speed and won't adjust.
Thank you everyone for the insight and help. Not only fixed the problem but learning more and more about PCs and components.

hi did you ever fix this im unsure if its safe to use the CPU header as I'm getting the same error also my h60 is the version with a sata cable and the 3 pin pump header and 4 pin fan so I was wondering if you could help
