How to change temperature trigger with Fan Xpert 2

Hi guys,

I have a watercooled Maximus Formula VI and I was wondering if it was possible to change the temperature trigger in Fan Xpert 2.
Here is my setup:
Pump is PWM and plugged in to CPU_FAN
Radiator 1's fans are all PWM and plugged in to CHA_FAN1
Radiator 2's fans are all PWM and plugged in to CHA_FAN2
Rear exhaust fan is 3-pin and plugged in to CHA_FAN3
Water temperature sensor is plugged into OPT_TEMP1
Case temperature is plugged into OPT_TEMP2

What I want to accomplish with Fan Xpert 2 is to change Radiator 1 and 2's fan speed depending on the water temperature information provided by OPT_TEMP1 (water temp) and to change the rear exhaust fan's speed with info from OPT_TEMP2 (the ambient case temp). Right now all fan speeds are being based on the CPU temperature, which in a watercooled system is kind of pointless. If any of you could walk me through how to change this in Fan Xpert 2 I would greatly appreciate it! Or if this is not possible to do with Fan Xpert but doable with some other software please let me know as well.

Thanks!

Anyone know how to set this up?

This is not doable AFAIK. You'll need to find some other solution.

Thanks for the reply Raja! That is unfortunate that this is unable to be done with Fan Xpert. I'll look into other solutions then.

Hm... I think, argerel, what you need is a proper fan controller...

I can not figure out from your posts how many loops you have in your system... if it's a single loop, then having all fans controlled based on the CPU temp makes logic to me...
