Hello!
I use an asus mobo Rampage IV Black Edition and water cooling on my cpu (cooler master seidon 120xl)
I have installed HWMonitor and AI Suite 3 that includes many tools including Fan Xpert. (Bought the motherboard 1 week ago)
At first my CPU fan seemed to go around 1350 RPM (mediocre sound) but after I did FAN Tuning from Fan Xpert it rolled down to 600-650 RPM (low sound). Although I can't complain about the reduction in sound, I would gladly get mediocre sound rather than low sound in order to have my CPU 3-5 degrees lower. Here's my porblem:
In 1350 RPM case on 3dmark11 benchmark test my CPU got around 60-61 degrees celsius from 32-35 degrees at idle and scored around 13279. On 650 RPM it got around 65-66 degrees celsius from 37-40 degrees and scored around 13250.
I know its not much difference but all I want to know is why did it turn from 1350 RPM to 650 ish RPM when I did FAN tuning (the sound also diminished so I presume the reading on HWMonitor was close to reality since I use it to track the RPMs).
The Fan Xpert tool still shows the CPU fan at 1350 RPM but the CPU OPT fan at 650 RPM whereas before Fan Tuning, Fan Xpert showed both at 1350RPM. Similiar for HWMonitor before fan tuning it showed 1350 RPM and after fan tuning on Fan Xpert it shows 650 RPM (that is why I am assuming HW Monitor tracks CPU OPT fan since it shows same values of CPU OPT fan from Fan Xpert)
Also when I do benchmark test and leave HWMonitor on to track maximum values of fan RPMs and temperatures, I see that the RPMs on CPU and Chassis 1 fan do not go up as the CPU temp goes up in BOTH CASES (before and after fan tuning from Fan Xpert tool). (chasis 1 fan is located infront of my case and connected to chassis 1 output on the motherboard, I have 1 fan on top of the case connected to Fan_OPT3 output on the motherboard and 1 fan on the side connected to PSU using 3 female to 2 male pin connector. (Case is HAF X from Cooler Master and PSU is Cooler Master Silent Pro 1000W 80+ Gold)
On BIOS its a complete other thing because it always shows both CPU and CPU OPT fan at 1350 RPMs although there always is more sound from the fans on windows than there is on BIOS.
(~1350 rpm changes around 1342 and 1378 rpm | ~650 rpm changes around 645-657 rpm)
Can you fill me in this subject? I can elaborate if you wish to get more explanation on my issue.
Thank you for your time!
