I bought a Thermaltake Water 3.0 Extreme cooler yesterday, and I am very pleased with it so far, but I have a question. The Fan Control Software that came with it was version 1.0 so I looked online and found and downloaded version 1.6. Now here is my question, the software tells me the firmware is version 0.4.0.0 now after looking at the program folder there is a sub folder called Firmware and the version in there is Firmware_v06.HEX, how do I update the cooler to that newer firmware version?
Here some information that maybe use full to Tt Staff's this is a post from Tomhardware's web site.

Well, I have another issue............I was able to download the fan control software from Thermaltake's site after few tries (404 errors) and it installed fine. I also d/loaded Open Hardware Monitor .6 beta and installed it, but still no cpu temps in the fan control software. Any new clues on this? AIDA 64, Core Temp, and CPUID CPU-Z all show cpu temps, but neither Open Hardware Monitor nor Fan Control Software do.
My response:
If your using the 1.6 Fan Control Software, replace the Open Hardware Monitor 0.6.0 Beta with the older 0.5.1 Beta. Just download the 0.5.1 Beta and unzip, then copy all files and paste back in to C:\Program Files (x86)\Thermaltake\Fan Control Software\OpenHardwareMonitor
Restart your computer and you will see CPU temp. Don't know why the 0.6.0 Beta is failing with the 1.6 Fan Control Software but this work around worked for me.
So at least some people the Open Hardware 0.6.0 and 1.6 Fan Control Software do not work together and Open Hardware 0.5.1 and 1.6 Fan Control Software do work just fine together.
I'm using Windows 8.1 Pro all updates applied and Motherboard is Asus Model M5A99FX Pro R2.0
