Questions For Staff Regarding AIO and Case Fans On My First Build

[chemoton]

Hi, I would like to build a PC for myself using the Floe Riing RGB 360 TT PE AIO liquid cooler, various Riing Trio case fans, and a View 51 Case. These look like quality made, and beautiful parts, and some people say that the RGB lights look even more vivid in person.

I want to put two Riing Trio 20s (exhausting) in the front of the View 51 case, and two Riing Trio 20s (exhausting) in the top. I want to put one Riing Trio 12 (exhausting) in the back. I want to put a Floe Riing RGB 360 Premium (exhausting) in the top on the inside. I want to put three Riing Trio 12s (intaking) along the bottom of the case. I will use the supplied RGB fan controllers (not the 9-port Sync Controller). I will use the TT Windows software to configure the fans and RGB lights. Now I will need to understand some things before I move forward with my purchase:

  -What exactly will happen when I boot into linux? Someone on this forum suggested that settings made in the TT Windows software are stored in 'flash' on the controllers, is that true? Will the fans spin at all? Will they keep the 'curves' that I set using the TT Windows software? Will the RGB lights come on at all? Will they keep the programs I set for them using the TT Windows software? Will the AIO circulate water? Will the water block light up? Will the case fans and AIO respond to the temperature of the CPU?

  -Can I fit two Riing Trio 20s and a Floe Riing 360 TT PE AIO liquid cooler in the top of the View 51 case, with the radiator sandwiched between 2 200mm fans above and 3 120mm fans below? Will the extra 200mm fans increase the airflow through the radiator?

  -How many Riing Trio 20s can I connect to a single controller? I think I will set them up like: (2x Riing Trio 20s + 1x Riing Trio 12) + (Floe Riing RGB 360 TT PE AIO) + (2x Riing Trio 20s) + (3x Riing Trio 12s), with each parenthetic term denoting a group of RGB elements connected to a single controller, for a total of 4 controllers. Is this a good setup?

  -Will Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut work with the Floe Riing RBG 360 TT Premium Edition? Does its waterblock contain aluminum? Are those aluminum screws in the waterblock?

  -How will I know if the AIO pump fails?

  -Do I understand correctly that I only need to connect 1 controller to a USB 2.0 header on the motherboard, and daisy chain the rest from the first controller?

  -Is there anything else I need to consider before I order parts?

 

Here is the build that I'm contemplating:

Hi,

TT RGB Plus only works in Windows, the profile and programs are stored in your hard drive.

If you go with Linux, the products will work as normal, LED lights up no problem, but the software wont activate in Linux and you cant control the products in TT RGB Plus.

Yes, you can fit the fans, please see attached fan support list.

For controllers connection, you will need to use 4 controllers and 4 molex cables, and here is our suggestion, (2 x trio 20 + 1 x controller + 1 x molex 4pin cable), (2 x trio 20 + 1 x controller + 1 x molex 4pin cable), (4 x trio 12 + 1 x controller + 1 x molex 4pin cable), (1 x floe riing 360 aio + 1 x controller + 1 x molex 4pin cable).

Our AIO already have thermal grease applied, you can change a new one if you like. No aluminum in water block, and screws have no contact with coolant in AIO.

You can check pump speed in BIOS, make sure it's still running. 

 Yes, the first controller connects to on board USB 2.0.
