Dive into your motherboard’s EFI to see if you can link the control of fan speeds with thermal probe inputs. Not all motherboards offer thermal probes and, of those that do, not all of them allow the fan speed to be linked to thermal probe input. Use your motherboard’s manual to identify them, or check the specifications of the board you intend to buy. Your board may have several of them, while some examples are included on daughterboards too. Thermal probe headers are small 2-pin features on motherboards. Place the probe in a position where it will make contact with moving coolant, rather than a recessed area of a reservoir. Once you’ve identified a suitable location for your probe, screw it into the thread and make sure its rubber O-ring makes good contact. The required clearance can be up to 2cm, so it’s a much better idea to use a port on a reservoir than one on a waterblock. In order to insert the longer probes, you’ll need to check the clearance behind the port thread first. Others use long, hidden physical probes to delve deeper into components, but require more clearance. Pass-through probes screw into G1/4in ports and have female threads on top, meaning you can screw fittings into them and don’t need an unused port.
