      I use a separate controller, an Aquacomputer Octo with Aquasuite on custom loop. the water temp sensor is attached to it so, even if Aquasuite service is terminated, the controller still works standalone in hardware mode (corsair commander pro does it too).
      WAY more customizeable than iCUE i used before, and Aquasuite doesn't heat up the water like running iCUE did :). I am not aware of a more customizeable cooling controller software. It's a tinkerer's paradise, try it! :p

      I control CPU and pump through the bios and the GPU over MSI AB. However I control the case fans with Argus Monitor which let's you control the fans depending on the GPU temp and it's a real game changer. When the GPU warms up the case fans ramp up in order to provide more air.

    General rule of thumb: the first node should be the maximum speed of your fans that’s silent (for me it was 40% speed for cpu fan and 50% speed for case fans). The temperature should correspond to a temperature that is 5 degrees C higher than your room temp. For example, I have my cpu fan set at 40% from 0 to 35 degree C as first node before ramping up. The the second node should be your “usual load” fan speed. For me i set it at 70% at 60C. The final node is your emergency anti-throttling fan speed. You need to set the fans at full speed at 15 to 20 degrees below your cpu’s throttling temperature to be safe. I set it at 100% speed at 75 degree C.
    Case fans generally should follow cpu fan mapping. But it’s also a good idea to set their speed up slightly higher (ramping up earlier) than your cpu fan to ensure cpu fan gets fed fresh cool air all the time.

    I use flat fan steps as a constant speed is less noticeable. The ramping up and down is more annoying more then the sound itself.
    Start by moving all points to top right at 100% then drag the first/lowest temp one down to work out what pwm% = fan speed. I like 800rpm idle and 1200rpm gaming but adjust as needed.
    Then set first temp marker at top end of “idle temp”, i use 45’C/800rpm so anything under 45’ is at this fixed speed of 800rpm.
    Then next is gaming load area. Mine is set to 46’C to 65’C as a flat line holding at 1200rpm. Set per your system needs.
    Then depending on points left you can ramp up as needed above this. But during normal gaming loads the fans should stay constant.
    Then last set a warning temp and fans to 100%. I use 80’C with a little ramp up prior. You will hear this and know something isnt right temp wise and it will blast cool air in to help.
    If set right your pc will be very quiet at idle and watching movies but also Cool and at a constant volume during games.

    Worth mentioning if you're using 4 pin (PWM) fans, ensure PWM is selected in the top right (as seen in the video), if using 3 pin (Voltage control) fans, ensure "DC" or "Voltage" is selected in the top right toggle. If you have PWM selected and use 3 pin fans for example, it won't apply the curve.

  • @shootinbruin3614
    @shootinbruin3614 Před 2 lety +86

    Personally, I find myself to be more sensitive to changes in fan noise than the noise itself. Hearing the fan repeatedly ramp up and down is far more intrusive to me than a constant white noise. So I set my curve with only 2 points. First, I experiment to find the fastest speed in which I can run the fans before they become annoying (55% for my QL120s). I then set the BIOS to maintain this speed up to the highest temp my CPU will hit during everyday use (say the 65C I see while gaming). Then I set the fans to 100% at 80C. The "curve" is therefore whatever slope that connects these two points. This slope may seem steep, but the whole idea is that during normal use you will never hit the slope to begin with.
    I'm doing this with a 360mm AIO so perhaps it won't work in a system with less headroom, but in my personal case at least, doing this ensures that outside of stress tests my fans pretty much never ramp up. Hope this helps

    I use Argus monitor.
    It can controll every pwm fan in regards to ANY sensor, or a combination of several sensors instantly or on an average temperature over a given time that you can define.
    It's really configurable, and it is resource friendly.
    It's really cheap, and you can skin it if you want to.
    You can also add your own sensors and fan controllers using arduino as they provide the communication protocols, and you can interface this with nzxt, corsair ect.. controllers.

      For example my GPU has a hysteresis of 3 degrees, so when I pause a game, it will stay at the speed set for three seconds even though the GPU has already dropped in temp. I've never found a way to make this work in reverse.

    If you can tolerate the sound, linear fan controls work the best for keeping temperatures down. Non-lineear fan controls in my experience tend to result in more heat under medium workloads. I set the lower bounds of the fan control around room temperature, and the upper bounds around the maximum operating temperature of the CPU or GPU, usually 90C. If you have an adequate cooler (I use a Wraith Spire), it should never hit the upper fan speed limits.
    I have an old-skool mid tower case that is below my desk and I don't really have a problem with the sound of my fans ramping up steadily. My temperatures have only a gradual rise under load, too. It only has one 120mm Noctua case fan, but temperatures are well below what you'ld get in a SFF PC, though not nearly as low as a modern case.

    I agree with Greg. Use BIOS settings and avoid extra software whenever possible. I tried using some ASRock software to adjust my fans from Windows, but it would often glitch out. BIOS seemed most reliable.
    My voltage/DC fans will go as low as 20% duty. I'm often surprised to hear how much people discredit DC fans (some even implying DC fans have *no adjustment*), but I've never had much for issues.

    • @ledoynier3694
      @ledoynier3694 Před 2 lety

      DC fans have almost no torque at low speeds, so they can sometimes stop or fail to start entirely if set a bit too slow. That's why some aftermarket controllers have a "kickstart" function just for DC fans, to spin them faster at startup.
      Also, using DC fans heats up the headers controllers chips a lot because they drop voltage. with PWM they stay dead cold. more chances of failure (owners of Corsair Commander pros killed by running DC fans will know about it).

    ASRock has a windows utility that I use to manage the SB Fan and system fans, while my Corsair AIO uses iCue. I try to match those up as much as possible. Will say though my system sounds like it wants to take off my desk when gaming sometimes, but thats fine as I usually have my headset on.

    I use the BIOS settings to keep my pc under ambient noise unless i do intensive tasks. Its set to the lowest (400)RPM all the way up until 55°C. Then it makes a jump to around a 1000RPM just by going to 60°C, because i found it never goes over 55 on daily tasks, and is always above 60 while gaming. It requires a lot of tweaking but was worth it for me. That is the ideal setting for my silence focused setup rocking a BeQuiet gold PSU & arcic P12 on case & CPU.

  • @steveaustin5344
    @steveaustin5344 Před rokem +1

    I always oversize my cooling system so I can keep fans low and keep PC extremely quiet. I know it costs a bit more but I really like a quiet PC. Always try to use big fans at low speed. For example for an office PC I built, I used a darkrock4 cpu cooler on a 65Watt TDP CPU (AMD 5600g). That cooler is ridiculously oversized for that cpu. Honestly that cpu never gets more than 17 degrees Celsius above room temperature, even at full load, with fans hardly audible. Big case fans at low speed too. I enjoy the challenge of builds focused as close to silent as possible. You can use decibel meter like Spectroid (for Android phones) to help with noise measurement experiments whilst you are finding optimal settings.

  • @curtismariani6303
    @curtismariani6303 Před 2 lety +3

    Thanks Greg, really useful. I struggled with a fan curve in iCue as I found the fans would ramp up and down every time the package temp briefly jumped up. In the end I set a flat 50% (on the AIO fans) which was a happy medium. Which sensor would you suggest I link the curve to for less erratic fan noise? I have a 360mm Corsair AIO cooling a 5800x and 3 exhaust fans (2 top and 1 rear). Oh and I disabled the top fan (used for RGB only) nearest the front as it was just exhausting cool air.
    Would love to see a video on, if it is worth enabling PBO/curve optimiser for Zen 3 if just gaming. I run a 1440p ultra wide with a 3090 and just not sure I would gain anything over stock.

I have one non-split 140mm CPU fan and both top mounted exhaust 140mm AIO fans on system headers using PWM with the same curves. My four (4) intake fans are controlled by a button on the case.

    Some people think that your fans should be running at 100% RPM all the time, but I've always thought that was silly. Like, you don't need to have your fans running at 100% RPM if you're browsing the internet or whatever. Plus, from an engineering perspective, fans are moving parts. The more strain you put on them (like running at 100% speed 24/7) is just going to shorten the life of the motor or AIO pump. Thanks for making this.

    I get various amounts of turbulance at certain RPM's.
    I don't like ASUS fan control in BIOS. I wish there were straight lines (kinda like in MSI AB fan control) and hysteresis. The step up / step down time isn't reliable either.
    So I keep the fans quiet. I use third-party software to change fan speeds if needed, though only really needed these days for my RAM overclocks (I have a fan placed infront of the sticks), which when playing a game can reach 45°C and cause instability. The fan keeps them at ~36-40°C depending on ambient.

  • @mikedmt
    @mikedmt Před 2 lety

    I have one rig running the fans on the AIO and case off of NZXT Cam, it's just meh, but gets the job done. Pump is 100% all the time, so the case fans rarely turn up over 30%. The 5600x never gets much above 65*.
    Another one is just a few pwm fans daisy chained off the CPU header and controlled through the BIOS fan curve.
    My third one uses a third party rgb/fan hub that runs off of a remote manually. The fan and case combo is really quiet so I can just let them chooch at a pretty high rpm.
    All GPU fans run off of an Afterburner curve, or in the case of my 1080FE, 100%... Because blower cards run toasty.

    I rather still set a floors setup on top of bios settings with an idle/low load profil ( web browsing with 5tabs open , youtube, spotify and 2-3 random app ) and set the maximum cpu & case fan without hearing it at night when everything is quiet.
    Then i set a load profil, with games or heavy CPU and/or GPU temps, with the most effective speed , meaning the highest i can get while increasing cooling temperatures, if you add 500rpm and only gain 2°C it's not effective ! Usually it's about 60-75% fan speed.
    And for the last one , i set the maximum CPU & GPU temp i don't want to get them past. Say like 80°C for cpu with 90°C max T from manufacturer and set every fan to 100%.
    So that you have your basics 3 step usage fans profil, then use the computer, take notes and fine tune keeping in mind that you want your target rpm to be both effective in winter and summer , or just add extra floors to get like a 5 step profile.
