Hello , I have bought a coolermaster seidon 120v cooler , I have 1 fan on each side in a push pull config , I have quiet fans , so I was wondering for better temps should I leave them on auto , or run them at 100% they are plugged into motherboard

If I should put them on 100% would I do this through bios or software

Many thanks

those temps are normal for air. if you want to reduce them you need to get water cooling.

sorry, got confuse with the CoolerMaster Evo for a second. but yeah, your temps are pretty much good. 30C idle is really good, remember GTA V is an intense game so it will create heat!

Ok sweet , and also on auto if the rad fans need to go full speed they will do it auto won't they ?, because if I remember correctly when looking at the fan speeds underload they still weren't running full speed

they should run at full when the system needs them. but you can always manage that by using a software base solution, such as, SpeedFan
