Hello,

I have an EKWB EK-Kit X360 custom loop kit with Noctua IndustrialPPCs on the radiator.
I found out that the fan speed has no impact whatsoever on the CPU temp!

So it idles at 30C
Using SpeedFan, I set the fan speed to 100%, temperature dropped to 29C
Then I set the fan speed to 0%, and I got 30C.

Can someone tell me what is going on?

I can see the temperature on HWMonitor, SpeedFan, and my motherboard. They all say 29-30C, so I know SpeedFan is working correctly.
And I can confirm SpeedFan is changing fan speeds, from the noise, HWMonitor, and SpeedFan.

Yes, when I run stress tests it goes to 61C

I also tried running a stress test with the fans at 100% and 30%. Temperature stayed at 61C.

If yo were at 61 Celcius with your fan speed at both a low rpm and then at max rpm I think you need to upgrade your cpu hsf. It doesn't seem to be scaling very well.

It's a watercooling loop and I just bought it, so it's not old or anything.
