I generally prefer to set the fan curve via the BIOS. This all depends on your case airflow design & fans. They're normally around the mid-30s at idle. SIV also boosts temps by about 5 degrees. Idle temps are a bit high today as we've had our warmest day in months, approaching Summer. This is a pretty silent profile (34dB in front of case & 29dB at seating position), & when gaming, it doesn't go crazy, so i'm hearing the game more than the fans. They're also daisy-chained & fed from a second motherboard PWM fan header. Second cluster's made of the 3 fans which are governed by the GPU temp. They're the CPU fan, the top exhaust fan & the rear exhaust fan:

Here are my fan curves for the two clusters of fans I have in my case.įirst cluster's made up of 3 fans which are governed by the CPU temp. I have my fall back fan curves saved in my BIOS though, in case SIV runs into any issues. I have a Gigabyte motherboard & I use SIV (System Information Viewer) to tweak me fan curves in Windows, which I find works really well. So my question is if there are any other other software with better control of the actual fan curve than Armoury Crate? And if I install a new software, could it somehow interfere with the Armoury Crate settings?Īlso, is it bad for fans to run in turbo mode? Did not catch the RPM during that state though.Ģ x Noctua NF-A14 140mm PWM(intake front)ġ x Noctua NF-F12 120mm PWM(exhaust rear)ĭoes that program not allow you to manually create & save fan profiles? Where does the 'Fan' button on the bottom left area of your screenshot take you to? But it will at some points during gaming enter a turbo state which makes the PC sound like it is about to take off from my desk. Now the idle dB and RPM seems to be fine. So that software did come with some basic fan control, in the form of pre defined profiles. Resulting in a louder idle state.ĪSUS Armoury Crate was installed by default when I recently built the computer. It felt like the fans ran on a higher RPM than what they actually could be running at. So I guess they ran on some kind of default profile.

Since I first installed the fans I didn't change any settings. I have not really messed much with the fan curve but I would like to do some tweaking. I recently installed a couple of new PWM fans in my PC.
