I contacted customer service...
Hello Aaron, The pump is dual pulse, and the motherboard can only read single pulse. Double the RPM reading to get the actual pump RPM. Best Regards, Thermaltake customer service
That's the answer Thermaltake gives but logic and everything I've researched would seem to go against that. I'm looking for a more scientific explanation. All research I've found on fans, reading RPMs from the tachometer wire, and tachometer pulses all have RPMs being reported as twice as fast in these situations... not half (2 pulse per revolution vs 1 pulse per revolution).
Why doesn't my motherboard (that they say is only able to understand 1 pulse equals 1 revolution and not the pumps 2 pulses equal 1 revolution) then interpret it as 2 revolutions and report the RPM as double instead.
TLDR; They are going the wrong way with their math, i.e The motherboard should already be reporting it TWICE as fast as it's actually going, not half.
